Moving Our Way in to the Smart EV Charger Market

We are excited to introduce our latest edition to the ION charge range, with our new domestic Smart EV chargers, available in both tethered and socketed versions.

Like our standard range, our new domestic 32A (7.4 kW) single phase smart EV chargers are an easy to fit solution, complete with built in PEN protection, overload, ground fault and surge protection. Each charger is supplied with a Wi-Fi range extender “gateway hub”, that communicates all status and settings between the charger and smart app. The hub also provides a “boost button” which can be used to override any scheduled charging created through the app. Doubling as a Wi-Fi range extender, the smart gateway hub is designed so it can either be hard-wired directly into your Wi-Fi router or connect via Wi-Fi, depending on the location of the router and EV charger.

Each smart EV charger come with a smart app, that is available to download to both Android and iOS devices. We have partnered with Fuuse, a hardware agnostic, charge point management platform provider, to create our smart app. Fuuse focus on the providing a solution that spans workplace, public and home charging, with a focus on flexibility and scalability across sectors. The price of the app has been included in the price of the unit, so there is no additional or ongoing costs to the end user. The app provides the user with a live dashboard where they can see default off-peak charging schedules, create their own charging schedule, securely lock their charger so it cannot be used unless overridden using the app or RFID fob, see their charging history and charging costs. Everything you could need in one smart place.

Both units are an easy fit solution for any residential location and come with a 3-year warranty. Manufactured in the UK, our Type 2 fast charging units are suitable for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
