Save time and Money with wall-mounted EV Chargers.
EV wall chargers provide fast and efficient charging for your electric vehicle, reducing charging times significantly compared to standard electrical outlets.
Smart EV chargers tend to have higher capacity (3.6-7 kW) than the standard 3-pin plug chargers (up to 1.8kW) that come with EVs. This means that they can charge EVs at least three times faster than a standard 3-pin charger.
Smart chargers react to a signal to charge based on the parameters programmed in by the user, such as minimum charge capacity and cost.
This allows users to take advantage of lower off-peak electricity prices.
Off-peak rates encourage consumers to shift their energy consumption to quieter times, such as nights and weekends, when the grid is under less strain.

The Benifits of EV Chargers
Smart chargers have features which enable wifi and mobile access to the charger and the ability to control and monitor charging on phones via an app, as well as the potential to integrate into a home energy management system (HEMS).
This can help optimise users’ charging by evaluating the battery’s state of charge (SoC), power prices and driver needs, rather than a simple “set and forget” charging regime. When paired with a HEMS, further factors can be automated and optimised such as use of and mix of rooftop solar generation and storage for charging.
EV owners are not likely to notice that their EV is being charged ‘smartly’. For example, analysis of over one million home charging sessions in the United States found that drivers typically plug their vehicle in for over 12 hours, but the actual charge time is less than 2.5 hours.
This provides plenty of opportunity for EV owners to let their smart charger optimise time-of charging during off-peak times that occur over the 12-hour period, to help manage the network with no impact on them.
It’s important that you use a qualified electrician to install your EV Charger
