What if I don’t want to utilise smart scheduling, how can I still use the charger?

If smart scheduling is disabled, you can simply just plug the cable into the vehicle, and it will start charging until it’s either unplugged or fully charged. Additionally, you can still have smart scheduling enabled so you get all the added benefits of security functionality, but you just utilise the ‘boost charge’ function which will then charge the car immediately if plugged in.

Other commonly asked questions

Do our units have dynamic load balancing? If so how do we set the limit?

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.

What is a Standard Install, and what does it cover?

Standard installation covers installation of your waEV-charge EV charger on a brick or plaster wall, a maximum run of 10m of cable from the wall-mounted position to your consumer unit (fuse box), with no civil or remedial electrical work required.

Can I finance my EV charger purchase?

Yes, 0% finance is available for EV chargers, but it applies only to installed chargers rather than charger-only purchases. To qualify, the total cost of the installed charger must meet the minimum loan amount of £250, and a 10% deposit is required upfront.

What happens if the consumer unit fails after the 12-month warranty?

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.
