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

Rolec EVO 7.4kW – Reliable, Smart & Solar-Ready EV Charging

The Rolec EVO Smart 7.4kW is one of the UK’s most popular single-phase home EV chargers, offering a perfect balance of performance, affordability and compliance. Compact and weatherproof, it supports solar integration, dynamic load balancing, and smart tariff scheduling, making it an ideal solution for homeowners who want safe, future-proof charging without needing three-phase power.

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

The Rolec EVO 7.4kW gives you complete control over your home charging. Using the free Rolec EV app, you can set weekly schedules, activate smart-tariff charging to make the most of cheaper overnight rates, and track energy use in real time. Whether you’re on Octopus Intelligent Go, OVO Charge Anytime, or another time-of-use tariff, the EVO helps you save money without sacrificing convenience.

Prefer a simpler approach? The EVO’s plug-and-go mode remembers your last settings — just connect your EV and charging starts instantly. For added security, it comes with two RFID cards, giving you card-based activation that’s ideal for shared driveways, visitor charging, or tenants.

• 📱 App control: Schedule charging, monitor usage and manage multiple EVs remotely.
• 💳 RFID access: Prevents unauthorised use while keeping charging easy for family and guests.
• 🔌 Plug-and-go: Start charging instantly using your last saved mode — no app required.

Maximise Your Solar Power with Eco & Eco+ Modes

If your property has solar panels, the Rolec EVO 7.4kW makes it easy to turn your renewable generation into free driving miles. Its built-in Eco mode blends surplus solar energy with grid power for faster top-ups, while Eco+ mode charges only when there’s excess solar available — perfect for maximising self-consumption and lowering your electricity bills.

Unlike some chargers that require paid upgrades or third-party add-ons, the EVO comes solar-ready straight out of the box. Simply select your preferred mode in the Rolec EV app, and the charger automatically adjusts to your home’s energy flow in real time.

• 🌞 Eco Mode: Mix solar generation with grid supply for balanced charging.
• 🌱 Eco+ Mode: Charge only on surplus solar for zero-cost, zero-carbon driving.
• ⚡ Instant switching: Change between modes directly in the Rolec app.

Built-In Safety & Full UK Compliance

The Rolec EVO 7.4kW is designed with safety and compliance at its core, giving homeowners and installers complete peace of mind. It fully meets the UK Smart Charge Point Regulations and includes advanced protection features as standard — so you don’t need costly extras to achieve compliance.

• 🔒 Type A RCD (30mA) + 6mA DC protection: Safeguards against both AC and DC fault currents.
• ⚡ PME fault detection: Removes the need for a separate earth rod in most UK installs, simplifying installation.
• 🔥 Fire & tamper-resistant casing: Engineered to withstand external impact and prevent interference.
• 🌩️ Surge & overtemperature protection: Shields your EV and home from electrical spikes or overheating.

With its durable IP54 weatherproof rating and IK10 impact resistance, the EVO 7.4kW is built to handle British weather all year round. It’s a safe, robust choice for households that want long-term reliability from their home EV charger.

Compact, Easy to Install & Designed for British Homes

The Rolec EVO Smart 7.4kW is designed specifically for UK properties, combining compact size with practical installation features. Measuring just 292 mm (H) × 179 mm (W) × 142 mm (D), it delivers powerful 7.4kW charging without dominating your driveway or garage wall.

Every EVO includes a dynamic load balancing kit (CT clamp and cable) as standard. This ensures your home’s electrical system is protected by automatically adjusting the charging rate to prevent overload — a feature that many chargers only offer as a paid extra.

• 🧰 Load balancing included: Safely manages household power across circuits.
• 📦 Compact footprint: Small enough for tight driveways, garages, or side-wall installs.
• 🌧️ Built to last: IP54 weatherproof and IK10 impact-resistant casing for year-round reliability.

Whether fitted outdoors in exposed conditions or inside a garage, the EVO 7.4kW is installer-friendly, robust, and ready to provide years of dependable home charging.

Flexible Charging Access for Every Household

The Rolec EVO 7.4kW adapts to the way your household prefers to charge. Whether you want full app control, secure card-based access, or instant plug-and-go simplicity, the EVO includes all three options as standard. This flexibility makes it one of the most versatile home EV chargers in its class.

• 📱 Smartphone app: Use the Rolec EV app to set charging schedules, monitor energy use, and manage multiple vehicles from one dashboard.
• 💳 RFID cards: Two RFID cards included for secure and controlled charging, ideal for shared driveways, tenants or visitor use.
• 🔌 Plug-and-go: Just connect your EV and charging begins immediately, using your last saved mode.

From single-EV households to families with multiple cars — or even homes with regular visitors — the EVO 7.4kW ensures charging is always simple, secure, and suited to your lifestyle.

Smart Connectivity & Future-Proof Technology

The Rolec EVO 7.4kW is equipped with advanced connectivity to keep your charger reliable today and adaptable for the future. Whether you want stable everyday control or integration with emerging services such as vehicle-to-grid (V2G), the EVO is designed to evolve with the changing energy landscape.

• 📶 Wi-Fi & Ethernet: Ensures stable connectivity for app control, monitoring and firmware updates.
• 📡 Bluetooth setup: Quick installer configuration without the need for cables.
• ⚙️ OCPP 1.6 support: Open Charge Point Protocol compatibility allows integration with smart home systems and energy management platforms.
