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 will focus on what matters for tax purposes: session data, kWh, and costs.
Cloud API integration
ChargeDoc will connect to Emporia's cloud service using your account credentials (read-only access). The integration will capture:
- 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 will be accessed by ChargeDoc.
IRS / CRA business expense documentation
With Emporia sessions in ChargeDoc, you will be able to 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 will handle the math for every session.
Privacy
Emporia handles your charging data under their own privacy policy. ChargeDoc will request 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 will automatically become tax-ready records. Set up once, and your IRS reports will write themselves. Join the waitlist and be the first to know when it launches.
The step-by-step guide below describes the planned flow and applies once the integration is available.
How to set it up
Connect your Emporia account
Once the integration is available, open ChargeDoc and go to Settings > Wallbox > Emporia. Tap 'Connect' — enter your Emporia account credentials to authorize ChargeDoc to read your charging data.
Select your EV charger
If you have multiple Emporia devices, you will select your EV charger from the list. ChargeDoc will link to that specific device.
Start automatic tracking
All future charging sessions will then be captured automatically. ChargeDoc will sync in the background after each charge completes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Emporia models will be supported?
ChargeDoc will support the Emporia Smart Home EV Charger (Level 2, 48 A). This is Emporia's primary EVSE product, managed via the Emporia app and cloud. The integration is currently planned.
Do I need an Emporia account?
Yes — the Emporia Smart EV Charger requires an Emporia account for setup and cloud connectivity. ChargeDoc will use this account to access your session data.
What charging data will ChargeDoc import?
ChargeDoc will import session start time, end time, and energy delivered (kWh). This data will be used to calculate electricity costs and generate business expense reports.
Will the integration be real-time?
Sessions will be synced via the Emporia Cloud API after each charging event. Background sync will run periodically via iOS background tasks.
Can I use ChargeDoc without the Emporia integration?
Yes. ChargeDoc already supports manual session entry for any charger — including public networks like Tesla Supercharger, Electrify America, or any EVSE without API access.
