The waEV-charge EV chargers can only be operated once the unique RFID waEV-Card is swiped or ev.energy smart charging app is activated therefore you’re fully protected from unauthorised use.
You can either contact ourselves or a local electrician to replace the breaker. If via ourselves this would cost a one-time £120 +VAT fee which includes parts and labour.
Our chargers and smart app work with all Octopus and OVO tariffs, however, as the Octopus Intelligent & OVO Charge anytime tariff requires full control over charging, your car must also integrate with them. You can check your compatibility via the below links:

The EV1i is a tethered EV charger meaning it comes with a 5-meter cable attached to plug into your car. The EV1s is untethered meaning you are able to connect your own charging cable. The EV1s does not come with a charging cable.
All waEV-charge 7.4kW models have dynamic load balancing, they come with a CT clamp as standard. Our 22kW range currently offers static load balancing, with dynamic load balancing coming later this year. You can set the grid limit through the waEV-charge installer app.
You do not need to be with any specific energy provider or tariff for your EV charger to work, it’s just advised to speak to your energy company as most offer off peak charging tariffs which can save you a significant amount in charging costs if utilised.
