On the other hand, stationary chargers are not portable and you can get such a charging point installed by a professional only. They usually do not differ significantly in price and can have the same technical parameters as a mobile wallbox.

However, you need to be aware that the installation of tethered chargers requires special knowledge. An electrician should check in advance whether your home network connection is designed to use such a wallbox.
An advantage of the stationary charger compared to the mobile charger though is that you are more likely to get financial support from the government.
For instance, German companies and municipalities in could get a maximum of 900 euros back from the state for each newly installed wallbox. However, you could not get grants/subsidies for mobile charging stations in Germany, but for instance in Austria. On top of that, some electricity providers prohibit using mobile charging stations.
Therefore, we at go-e suggest you to check these aspects before purchasing a wallbox.
Investing in a Level 2 charging station for home use is both convenient and cost-effective for electric vehicle (EV) owners. Before making your purchase, it's crucial to evaluate several key factors to ensure you select the best charger for your needs.
The first consideration is the type of charge port on your EV, which can either be the SAE J or the North American Charging Standard (NACS). Emporia offers dedicated Level 2 EV chargers for BOTH connector types, and adapters are available with third party retailers if needed as well.
Decide whether you prefer a plug-in or a hardwired installation for your EV charger. Emporia's Level 2 EV chargers are designed for both options. They can be plugged into a 14-50P NEMA outlet or hardwired directly to a dedicated dual-pole breaker. Consider consulting with an electrician to determine the best installation method for your setup.

Choose a suitable location for your EV charger. This decision will influence the required length of wiring from your electrical panel to the charger. Discussing your installation plans with an electrician can ensure optimal placement and efficiency.
To select the appropriate charger, you need to know your vehicle's maximum Level 2 charge rate. For instance, if your EV can only charge at a maximum of 32 amps, you may not need an installation requiring the full 48A charge rate. The Emporia EV Charger is adjustable, providing any amperage between 6A and 48A as needed.
Assess your home's electrical capacity to support a Level 2 EV charger, which can draw significant power. If your existing electrical panel or supply is inadequate, professional consultation is advised. Emporia EV Chargers have an optional upgrade available called Load Management that allows operation and installation within environments that have limited power supply available. For more information, see our Load Management EV Charger article.
Consider whether you need a Vue energy monitor to integrate with Emporia's energy management features. This is particularly beneficial for homeowners with solar panels who want to optimize energy use by directing excess solar energy to charge their EV, or if you have specific charging requirements related to system usage or pricing from your utility provider.
