As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to gain popularity across Colorado, more homeowners are looking for convenient and cost-effective ways to charge their cars at home. Installing a Level 2 EV charger is one of the best upgrades you can make for your EV lifestyle—and when it comes to value and functionality, the Emporia Smart Home EV Charger stands out.

At Choice City Home Services, we specialize in EV charger installation for homes across Northern Colorado, including Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Timnath, Greeley, and surrounding areas. Whether you're preparing for your first EV or upgrading your current setup, our licensed electricians can install your new Emporia EV charger quickly, safely, and to code.

In this blog, we’ll explore what makes the Emporia charger a top choice, the benefits of professional installation, and why local homeowners trust Choice City for electrical upgrades.

Why Choose an Emporia EV Charger?

The Emporia Level 2 EV Charger is one of the most affordable and feature-rich smart chargers on the market. It offers:

• Fast Charging: Emporia’s Level 2 charger delivers up to 48 amps of power (when hardwired), which translates to roughly 25–30 miles of range per hour depending on your vehicle.
• Wi-Fi Connectivity: The charger connects to your home network, allowing you to monitor usage and schedule charging sessions from your phone using the Emporia app.
• Load Management: If you're already using an Emporia energy monitor, the system can dynamically adjust your EV charging to avoid peak energy usage and reduce costs.
• Energy Efficiency: Emporia’s smart features make it easy to take advantage of off-peak charging times, helping you save money and reduce strain on the grid.

Plus, it’s compatible with all EVs sold in North America, including Tesla (with an adapter), Rivian, Ford, Chevy, and Hyundai.

Do I Need a Licensed Electrician to Install an EV Charger?

In short—yes. While it may be tempting to tackle an EV charger installation as a DIY project, the reality is that this upgrade involves your home’s main electrical system. Improper installation can cause:

• Circuit overloads
• Fire hazards
• Code violations
• Denied insurance claims

In most Colorado jurisdictions, installing a Level 2 charger requires a permit and inspection. Our team at Choice City Home Services handles everything: permitting, installation, and coordination with your local electrical authority. Our electricians are fully licensed and insured, giving you peace of mind that the job is done right.

What’s Involved in an Emporia Charger Installation?

Here’s what to expect when you hire us to install your Emporia EV charger:

1. Initial Consultation: We’ll discuss your EV model, charging habits, and electrical panel capacity.
2. Site Visit & Estimate: Our electrician visits your home to assess panel load, distance from the panel to the charging location, and whether upgrades are needed.
3. Permit & Planning: We submit the permit application to your local building department and schedule the installation upon approval.
4. Installation Day: We hardwire the Emporia charger, add a dedicated circuit to your panel, and ensure all wiring meets code.
5. Testing & Walkthrough: We test the charger, connect it to your app, and walk you through how to use your new setup.
6. Inspection: We schedule and pass the final electrical inspection, completing the job with confidence.

In most cases, installation is completed in one day.

What If My Electrical Panel Can’t Handle It?

No problem. As a full-service electrical contractor, we can also upgrade your panel if needed. Many older homes in Northern Colorado were built with 100-amp panels, which may be insufficient for EV charging plus daily electrical demand. We offer panel upgrades to 200 amps and beyond, ensuring you’re ready not only for your EV but for future smart home upgrades as well.
