Emporia Smart EV Charger — built for efficiency

The Emporia Smart Home EV Charger delivers up to 48 amps (11.5 kW) at 240 V. It supports NEMA 14-50 plug installation or hardwired, and integrates with smart home systems including Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Emporia's energy monitoring app shows real-time usage across your entire home alongside your EV charging.

ChargeDoc focuses on what matters for tax purposes: session data, kWh, and costs.

Cloud API integration

ChargeDoc connects to Emporia's cloud service using your account credentials (read-only access). The integration captures:

Session start and end timestamps
Energy delivered (kWh, to two decimal places)
Charger identifier for households with multiple devices

No personal account details, payment information, or smart home data is accessed by ChargeDoc.

IRS / CRA business expense documentation

With Emporia sessions in ChargeDoc, you can generate:

IRS Business Use Report (PDF) — session table with business use %, deductible amount, Schedule C reference, and signature field
QuickBooks CSV — for US/CA accountants and bookkeeping software
CRA Employment Expense Report (PDF) — with T2200/T2125 references for Canadian users

Enter your electricity rate and business use percentage once — ChargeDoc handles the math for every session.

Privacy

Emporia handles your charging data under their own privacy policy. ChargeDoc requests read-only access to session data. All ChargeDoc processing is local on your device — no servers, no accounts, no cloud storage required.

Conclusion

Emporia's affordable pricing and smart home integration make it a popular choice for US EV owners. With ChargeDoc, those sessions automatically become tax-ready records. Set up once, and your IRS reports write themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Emporia models are supported?

ChargeDoc supports the Emporia Smart Home EV Charger (Level 2, 48 A). This is Emporia's primary EVSE product, managed via the Emporia app and cloud.

Do I need an Emporia account?

Yes — the Emporia Smart EV Charger requires an Emporia account for setup and cloud connectivity. ChargeDoc uses this account to access your session data.

What charging data does ChargeDoc import?

ChargeDoc imports session start time, end time, and energy delivered (kWh). This data is used to calculate electricity costs and generate business expense reports.

Is the integration real-time?

Sessions are synced via the Emporia Cloud API after each charging event. Background sync runs periodically via iOS background tasks.

Can I use ChargeDoc without the Emporia integration?

Yes. ChargeDoc supports manual session entry for any charger — including public networks like Tesla Supercharger, Electrify America, or any EVSE without API access.
