Settings for PowerSmart

Learn how to set up and configure PowerSmart for your Emporia EV Charger to safely manage panel load and charging rate.

Updated over a week ago

PowerSmart dynamically adjusts your EV Charger's charging rate to prevent panel overloading by monitoring system usage with an Emporia Energy Monitor. This allows the installation of a 48A EV Charger without electrical service panel upgrades.

Configuration Settings

  • Enabled: Toggle to activate/deactivate PowerSmart. Recommended to keep enabled when PowerSmart is required

  • Energy Monitor: Select your Vue: Gen 2 or Vue: Gen 3 device monitoring your system's energy consumption

  • Service Rating: Enter your electrical service panel's amperage rating (typically your main breaker size, e.g., 100A, 150A, 200A)

  • Guaranteed Charge Rate: Specify the available amperage in your service panel before installation of the EV Charger. PowerSmart will allow the charger to draw up to this amount regardless of real-time Energy Monitor measurements

PowerSmart Status Indication

When enabled, PowerSmart status is visible on the Control page of the Emporia app.
