| Questions to check before buying | The store option label reads CCS / J1772 while the guide names an SAE J1772 connector; this record treats the cable as a J1772 AC connector and makes no DC fast-charging claim. The store page lists a dedicated 60A+ dual pole breaker for 48 A, while the guide says the hardwired unit connects only to a circuit with 60 A maximum branch-circuit overcurrent protection. Ask Emporia or your electrician which statement applies. |
