Smarter Charging with App, RFID & Plug-and-Go

The Rolec EVO 7.4kW puts you in full control of your EV charging. Through the free Rolec EV app, you can set weekly schedules, activate smart tariff charging for cheaper overnight rates, and monitor energy usage in real time. Whether you’re on Octopus Intelligent Go, OVO Charge Anytime, or another flexible tariff, the EVO helps you minimise costs while maximising convenience.

Prefer a simpler approach? The EVO remembers your last charging mode, just plug in, and it starts automatically. It also includes two RFID cards for secure, card-based activation, perfect for shared driveways, flats, or visitor charging.

• 📱 App Control: Set schedules, track usage, and manage multiple vehicles remotely.
• 💳 RFID Access: Prevents unauthorised use and offers easy sharing with family or guests.
• 🔌 Plug-and-Go: Instant charging without needing the app or RFID.

Maximise Your Solar Power with Eco & Eco+ Modes

If your home has solar panels, the Rolec EVO 7.4kW makes it simple to turn sunshine into free miles. Using the built-in Eco mode, the charger blends surplus solar generation with grid power for faster top-ups. Switch to Eco+ mode and it will charge your EV only when there’s excess solar available, perfect for maximising your self-consumption and cutting energy bills.

No extra hardware or firmware upgrades are needed, solar integration is ready from day one. Just select your preferred mode in the Rolec EV app, and the charger automatically adjusts to your home’s energy flow.

• 🌞 Eco Mode: Mix solar and grid energy for balanced, faster charging.
• 🌱 Eco+ Mode: Charge only on surplus solar for zero-cost, zero-carbon driving.
