Don't hardwire. Makes no sense. Have a nema 14-50 installed, you can change the charger if you so please in the future. Future proofing is important.
How does hardwiring make it harder to change in the future? Turn off the breaker, disconnect at the junction box, connect the new one at the junction box, turn back on breaker.

Using a NEMA plug lowers your maximum amps (40 vs 48), requires a GFCI breaker, and adds an additional point of failure.

Yeah. A GFCI breaker and a good quality NEMA 14-50 adds cost too.

You are going to want the $50 heavy duty charging outlet
https://www.amazon.com/Leviton-Ch...8FFC1W/​

not the $10 standard outlet
https://www.amazon.com/Leviton-27...01M9FC5AR/

Breakers are going to be 100+ for GFCI vs $20 give or take a bit depending on your type of panel.

So $100-150 more for a less capable installation just to make it slightly easier if you decide to change something later.

Each method has its own advantages. having a plug in to NEMA 14-50 enables one to swap out a new charger, but how often does one swap chargers? Frequent removal and plugging in is also not going help with long term connection quality.

Hardwire has some advantages: Enables a higher power charger than with NEMA 14-50 as 14-50 is limited to 40A charging. Also having a hardwiired charger could be one thing to mention if selling a house. It boosts home desirability.

That said, I have a NEMA 14-50 with a 32 A charger, only because this is the only way I could qualify for a rebate from my provider.

I have an emporia and it works fairly well integrated with their Vue panel monitor. But they've had bugs which have caused me to charge at the wrong time or not charge. They've also done zero development on their charger features. You still can't do anything other than simple schedules or load control/excess Solar. You can't really combine these things. Also, they're not easy to hardwire.
I had high hopes they will improve the capabilities, but it's been over 2 years with no new features.

I have the elite version of this charger with the sperate cord hook. Works great on my Kia EV9.

Hardwired over all options.

Bought the Elite one for about $400+. Good quality so far, being using it for a month. Note that their site didn't charge me tax which is awesome.

It qualified for the SRP rebate as well bringing down to about $150.

My experience

Since 2014, several dozen nema14-50 installs for friends and family.
All used the regular ( not heavy duty ) nema 14-50 receptacles
All work done by licensed electricians and passed code checks by the local jurisdiction.
None have had any issues.


I helped a friend out with his rv park and we did install the heavy duty receptacles there but they had the regular receptacles in use for at least a decade prior. No known issues there either.

Use the right 50amp breaker and the correct gauge of wire for the length of the drop is key for a proper install. Those are both places that the installer will cut corners.

How'd you snag the elite for $400?

Any way to upgrade this to NACS? With everything going to NACS, I'm trying to limit my purchases to only that and avoiding CCS / adaptors / etc
