Rolec EVO Smart EV Charger 7.4kW – Type 2 Socket Grey

Rolec EVO 7.4kW Smart EV Charger – Optimised for UK Homes

The Rolec EVO 7.4kW Smart Charger is a feature-rich, solar-compatible home EV charger designed for smart tariff savings, long-term flexibility, and a hassle-free user experience. Whether you charge from the grid, tap into solar, or switch to off-peak tariffs like Octopus Go, this single-phase unit gives you total control via app, RFID or simple plug & go.

Built for British conditions and fully compliant with Smart Charge Point Regulations, the Rolec EVO is a compact, cost-effective solution for homeowners seeking future-ready charging without needing three-phase power.

Full App Control with Smart Tariff Scheduling

The Rolec EVO app gives you complete control over when and how your EV charges. Whether you're charging overnight on Octopus Go or setting a weekly schedule, the app makes it easy to tailor charging to your needs. Monitor usage, set user permissions, and manage multiple vehicles from one dashboard, all via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Prefer to keep things simple? Just plug in and the charger will auto-start using the last saved schedule or your chosen default mode. It also comes with RFID card access for shared driveways, flats, or visitor use.

Optimise Solar Charging with Eco & Eco+ Modes

If your home has solar panels, the EVO 7.4kW makes it easy to prioritise self-generated energy. Switch to Eco mode to blend grid and solar power for faster top-ups, or Eco+ mode to charge only when surplus solar is available, ideal for maximising returns and slashing running costs.

With solar compatibility built in, there’s no need for extra hardware or firmware upgrades. Just activate your preferred mode via the app, and let the charger do the rest.
