Elecq has introduced the Elecq Home Type 2 EV Charger to European EV owners through Amazon Europe. This charger features plug-and-play installation, dynamic power management, and advanced safety features, Elecq said.

The EV Charger features a modular snap-in design, allowing users to install it in just 10 minutes, the company said. Its Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) system distributes power, enabling up to five chargers to operate on the same circuit.

Energy Use and Cost Savings

The charger supports both single-phase (7.4kW) and three-phase (22kW) power supplies. It automatically adjusts charging speed based on household energy availability to prevent overloads. Users can integrate it with solar power systems and choose from three charging modes:

• Solar Only: Charges exclusively with solar energy.
• Solar Priority: Solar energy is used first, and grid power is switched to when necessary.
• Unlimited: Delivers the fastest charge using any available energy source.

By optimizing charging schedules, users can cut charging costs by up to 30% while reducing grid strain, Elecq said.

Elecq Home Type 2 Connectivity and Secure Access

The Elecq Home Type 2 EV Charger includes multiple connectivity options, such as WiFi (2.4G & 5G), Bluetooth, Ethernet, and optional LTE. Users can remotely manage charging via the Elecq App. Additional smart features include:

• RFID/NFC authentication for secure user access.
• Apple Siri voice control for hands-free operation.
• OCPP 1.6J & 2.0.1 compliance for integration with smart grids and energy management systems.

Safety and Durable Build of the Elecq Home Type 2 EV Charger

Elecq designed this charger with IP65 and IK10 protection, ensuring resistance to water, dust, and impact, it said. Key safety features include:

• 30mA AC and 6mA DC leakage protection (IEC 62955 compliant).
• 10kV/5kA surge protection that exceeds European safety standards.
• Built-in anti-theft detection and cable locking for extra security.

Future-Ready for Smart Energy Management

The EV Charger is ISO 15118-20 compliant and V2H/V2G-ready. This enables EV owners to send power back to their homes or the grid.
