    Recommend hardwiring or ponying up for a good outlet (Hubbell 9450a for example). I've melted 2 leviton or similar from Home Depot.

    Can you give some good examples?

    Smoking deal on a UL certified charger capable of plug in, or hardwire for full 48a charging. I've had mine since this time last year, and it's been great. Can fully charge my Bolt in about 6 hours at 11.5kW. Smart features are nice to (for me, just basically helps me keep accurate track of how much energy is actually going into my vehicle so I can tell how much $$$ I am saving over gas, by month, day, or year).

    Someone mentioned eBay, but curious about which ones are for sale new that do 48A and are UL certified so as not to fry out your shiny new car's electrical system…

    My ICE vehicle charging from an empty to a full tank in under 3 minutes.
    But can you do that in your own home? We wake up each day with a full tank and don't need to go anywhere else to fill it up. It's also cheap, $6 to go 200 miles. YMMV.

    Wooosh…

    I made the comment for the benefit of people who might have a use for the posted deal, not somebody who thinks that an ICE is an impressive and novel concept.

    Many people have both an EV and an ICE and can appreciate the benefits of both, but this specific thread is about an EVSE, and the comment was meant to illustrate that it is nice to save an hour or two off of charging time for vehicles that support 48kWh charging.

    Quote from will792 :
    I read numerous complains about Leviton 50A outlets overheating and it does not appear to be related to wires to outlet connection. The problem is in blades of a plug contact to outlet.

    Personally I have Leviton 50A for J1772 Siemens charger but I almost never unplug it and my charger is limited to 30A. If I ever replace for higher current charger model I would replace outlet or use hard wiring. Tesla used to sell chargers with 50A plugs but stopped a few years ago. Supposedly the reason is that number of installations had problems in plug to outlet connection.
    I can't for the life of me believe that UL would certify a 50A outlet that can not handle 40A sustained loads without failure. Companies selling them would also be exposing themselves to large liability risks if they were selling subpar components that couldn't deliver as advertised without becoming dangerous.

    I'd guess that the majority of issues are improper torqueing of the outlet, or worn out outlets with poor clamping force. I wouldn't trust these consumer grade outlets if you plug/uplug hundreds of times to maintain a solid connection.

    usage is different. Continuous loads that run for 6-12 hours compared to a typical electric stove that runs for maybe 3-5 hour max?

    That one ships from China, so who knows what you will really get and when. I ordered one from a US seller for $80.

    have you been plugging and unplugging a lot before they melted by any chance? those cheapo Nema 14-50 outlets are not made for multiple plug/unplugs. now i'm worried!
    Very rarely, and there are many posts about the same issue online. Thankfully my tesla charger has a temp sensor and drops the current, but it's annoying and still seems very risky.

    Just had this installed (hardwired) yesterday. I can confirm that the Emporia delivered the full 11.5kW requested from my 2023 Bolt.

    Had to pay for the EVSE, but GM paid for the entire installation.

    I just received mine for my EV I'm picking up this weekend. Can anyone summarize why I would hardwire vs plug in? I have a new build home that is pre-wired 50A for an EV charger like this with wires capped off behind an empty plate in my garage so I have both options

    On a plug-in set up, you can only use up to a 50A breaker (assuming you use a NEMA14-50 socket), which allows only 40A to be drawn continuously, a max charging rate of 9.6kW (40A x 240V). When you hard-wire you could use a 60A breaker, which allows for a 48A continuous draw, translating into 11.5kW charge power. Your set up will be limited to the same 9.6kW as a plug, unless you change the breaker to a 60A (check your wire gauge!). As a first step, check what your onboard inverter of your EV can do max, not every EV can handle 11.5kW. Even then I would see if you can make do with your existing 50A breaker. I have this charger and charge my Tesla Model Y LR over night, usually from around 30% to max 70%. on a 9.6kw that takes about 3.5h and would be a little under 3h on 11.5kW. Doesn't really matter if the car is siting overnight for 8+ hours...

    Anyone else receive theirs? Ordered almost immediately after the posting…got a shipping confirmation from Woot….then no movement on the package. Contacted woot through Amazon and without my approval they just canceled the order and refunded my money saying they it is a "shipping" issue and don't have anymore. Wtf…I don't want a refund…I want the product at $300. Amazon clearly still had them in stock.

    Feel like it was a bait and switch…they didn't have anymore so they created a shipping label with no product.

    Quote from goggin34 :
    I just rented a Tesla for the last week. At the super charging stations I was charged 36 or 39 cents per KW(depending on my location) and I went from about 18%-90% and it was about $15. I also charged once at a non super charging station (but still Tesla owned charger) and it dropped to 20 cents per KW and cost me like $9 bucks to "fill up ".

    This particular Tesla got 270 mile range at 100% so let's ballpark it that the $15 bucks got me 250 miles. You can compare that to your specific ICE vehicle.
    Something definitely off with your calculations. $15.00 at $0.36 or $0.39 per kWh would be equal to 38.5-41.5 kWh charged. That's not even including any efficiency loss. Even without account for any loss, and assuming all of that energy did indeed make it to the battery, at 250 miles, your figure means you were averaging 6 to 6.5 mi/kWh.

    That may be possible if you were going downhill or something, but the Model 3 for instance typically gets around 3.5 to 4.5 mi/kWh average. So on average, that $15.00 would get you more like 135-185 miles, and again, this is assuming you have NO efficiency loss from charging, which is unlikely.

    Still better than most ICE vehicles, but there's definitely some that could clock more miles out of $15.00 gas. For instance, a Prius, where I live, could easily get over 200 miles on $15.00 of gas, but gas is $3.80 a gallon here.

    Heck, any ICE vehicle that can average 35MPG would get about 138 miles with gas prices where I am, which could beat the Tesla at the lower spectrum.

    Personally the only rate I know for electric charging around me is EA, which is $0.48 per kWh, or $0.36 per kWh for subscribers. I own an Ioniq 6, so not too sure about Tesla chargers, but for now I have free charging at EA which is nice for road trips. At home I pay just under $0.11 per kWh delivered, for 21 hours a day, so definitely saves me a lot versus gas.
