Features

  • Delivers up to 22kW of power on three-phase power (7.4kW on single-phase power).

  • Advanced load control. Charging an EV can put a strain on your home or building’s power and fuse board. An optional Load Guard sensor can be installed on the fuse board to measure electrical currents and send real-time data to the charging station. The charging station can respond and increase or decrease the power provided to the EV to prevent overloading your building’s fuse board, avoiding power fuse trips and costly electrical upgrades.

  • Several connectivity options. With a variety of connectivity options including Ethernet, SIM card and WiFi (available on special order), this charger can be seamlessly integrated into your smart building.

  • A variety of access options can be set to either:

    • Free access enabling users to simply plug in and charge (suitable for home chargers or free public charging)

    • Require a PIN code or RFID tag to unlock the charger (suitable for locations where you want to restrict access)

    • Require users to pay via the Thundergrid billing platform. 

  • Customise your settings via the web interface. Access in-depth insights into your charging, set charging guidelines and power limits for smart, cost-efficient charging. 

  • User and charge session data: Monitor charge session data reports. If you are wanting a charger for staff homes, apartment body corporates and more, we can set up a billing system to track time or energy consumed.

  • Designed to last. This charger has a solid aluminium water-resistant housing and is prepared for the toughest outdoor environments (certified IP54 standard). It also includes a shatter-proof acrylic glass plate, plus an extended product warranty.

  • Future-focused. With open protocol software (OCPP) this charger can be seamlessly integrated into your building and can be linked to future charging platforms. As more EVs hit the road, our national power supply will be impacted. This charger can be linked in the future to the national grid to respond to tariffs and the supply of greener energy.

  • Built-in electrical safety protection. With a built-in RCD Type A and DC leakage detection sensor, there is often no need for an external RCD to be installed on your fuse board - seek advice from your installer.
