No matter what your energy management needs. Black Box has a solution.
What is an EVEMS?
Black Box Innovations Energy Management System (EMS) enables electric devices like Electric Vehicles (EVs) to fast charge when there is sufficient electrical capacity
available and automatically stops charging when capacity is limited.
Energy Management systems can be referred to as EVEMS, (Electric Vehicle Energy Management Systems) EMS (Energy Management Systems, or ALMS (Automatic Load Management System).
Our Energy Managers ensure the safety of both the end device and the electrical equipment by monitoring total power usage in the home and determining if there is
enough capacity for the end device to operate.
Key Features

Multi-Residential Hub System
Black Box Innovations is excited to announce the upcoming launch of our Multi-Residential Hub System. This will allow for Energy Management to be used in a condo or multi-residential setting. Providing equal access to power while protecting the main service. If you would like to know as soon as this product is launched, please sign up for Black Box's newsletter found on our website.
Dual Energy Management
Black Box is excited to announce that we will be launching a new standard Dual Energy Manager. This dual Energy Manager will be able to manage two loads on one main electrical service. Our Dual Energy Manager will have the option to select a priority 1 and priority 2 load. If you would like to know as soon as this product is launched, please sign up for Black Box's newsletter found on our website.
Increased Settings Options
Black Box is excited to announce that we will be refreshing our current setting options for our Energy Manager EVEMS240-100 / 200, NEMA 1 and 3R models. The refreshed settings will include many more installation options for a larger variety of combinations of panel sizes and end device sizes. If you would like to know as soon as this product is launched, please sign up for Black Box's newsletter found on our website.
EVEMS for 80 AMP Device
In response to an increased demand for Energy Managers that can accommodate larger end device sizes. Black Box is excited to announce that we will be launching a new standard Energy Manager Model that can be used to manage devices up to an 80 AMP continuous resistive end device. If you would like to know as soon as this product is launched, please sign up for Black Box's newsletter found on our website.

Our patented Energy Management System (EMS) or EV Energy Management System (EVEMS) provides the ability to install up to an 11.5kWh or 48/50A electric vehicle charger on an existing electrical service that would otherwise cause overloading issues. No need for an electrical panel or service upgrade. Compatible with all major EV manufacturers and charge rates. An additional broader benefit is contributing to balancing public electrical grid loading and reliability.
It is also approved for use with other devices that can be load shed when required as clearly indicated on the labelling. For example, many have found success using it on Hot Tubs, Heat Pumps, A/C, and Steam Showers, etc. as long as the rating of the device is at, or below, 50 Amp continuous resistive or 40 FLA.
Electrical Service Load Calculator
Installing our Energy Management Devices will allow an electrician to exclude the Electric Vehicle charging portion and possibly other device loads from the residential electrical load calculation found in your US
and Canadian codebook.
Our products are designed for electrical service sizes of 60A-100A, 125A, 150A & 200A and accommodate the most common EV charge rates up to using a 60A breaker. To add flexibility, we have also included a setting for other electrical devices that can tolerate load shedding.
SAFER - FASTER - EASIER - EV CHARGER INSTALLATIONS
Why Are Fail-Safe Products Important?
Fail-Safe is an important consideration when selecting energy management systems as many devices use latching relays that can leave the controlled device in a "powered state" indefinitely if the controller fails. This presents a serious safety concern. In contrast, our energy
managers use a contactor that will fail in a powered-off state and thus prevents this issue.
Give Your Customer The Charge Rate They Want at a Lower Cost
Never have a customer suffer from range anxiety when you can offer high-speed charging in their home with no additional cost for service upgrades. No wasting time compiling electrical specifications for load calculations that end in an unacceptable charge rate or loss of the job.Using our devices makes installations fast and easy. Save time and money. Close more jobs.
Quick and Easy - 8"x 6"x 4" (HxWxD)
Compact size allows our EVEMS to fit in tight spaces above or around an electrical panel. No extra breakers are needed and many usable standard knockouts to choose from. Our current monitoring devices are small and
clip onto the main lines without disconnection making for a quicker and easier installation.
