EcoFlow DELTA Pro in 2026: What the Original 3.6kWh Power Station Still Does Well

That distinction matters even more now. There are newer EcoFlow models available in 2026, and some are easier to move, more powerful, or better integrated for whole-home backup. But the original DELTA Pro still combines battery capacity, inverter output, expansion options, solar charging and home-power accessories in a way that holds up. This is not a hands-on review.

Emporia Level 2 EV Charger for home EV charging

Emporia Level 2 EV Charger in 2026: 40A vs. 48A, Load Management and What to Know Before Installing

The Emporia Level 2 EV Charger is one of those products where the headline number can be misleading if you don’t understand the electrical installation behind it. Emporia advertises charging at up to 48 amps, but not every installation gets 48A. A hardwired Emporia charger can support up to 48A on an appropriate 60A circuit.

This is not a hands-on review — I have not installed or personally used an Emporia EV Charger.
