Why are our Hybrid chargers the best EV chargers on the market?

Super intelligent but without an internet connection or phone app.

The EVO EV Safe Charge range of Hybrid EV chargers have no internet connection which means they are more cyber secure than smart chargers. Our chargers cannot be hacked, stopped or tampered with online. There are no phone apps or additional software that can create an unreliable charging environment. Our chargers just need a power supply making them quick and cost efficient to install.

Safety is our Priority - The highest level of electrical protection

Integrated RCDs

To make your charging experience as safe as possible EVO EV Safe Charge range of EV chargers have an integral 30mA Type-A RCD + 6mA DC protection device meaning you don’t have to install an expensive Type B RCD into your consumer unit.

PME fault detection

TN-C-S is the most common type of earthing configuration for your incoming power supply in the UK. Connecting your EV Charger to this type of connection would normally mean you will need to have an earth rod installed at your property which can be disruptive and expensive. The EVO Safe Charge EV Charger has built in PME fault detection (Loss of PEN function).  It does this by meeting the requirement of BS 7671:2008 Amendment 1 (2020) part 722.411.4.1 (iv) where when a PME fault is detected the charger will go into fault condition (trip) and become fully galvanically isolated from the vehicle.

Touch Current Protection.

During PME Fault conditions the protective earth could become current carrying and potentially cause an electric shock.  The EVO Safe Charge® range of EV chargers detect if a current of <30mA is present in the protective earth and the EV charger will go into fault condition (trip) and become fully galvanically isolated from the vehicle.  It does this even if the current to earth voltage is measured to below 50v.

What is full galvanic isolation?

Galvanic isolation (or separation) refers to the fact that the output power circuit is electrically and physically isolated from the input power circuit.

Thermal Protection on our Guns and Sockets

In conjunction with our product partner, EVO EV has developed the highest quality Type 2 tethered guns and sockets with built in thermal protection sensors. The importance of having this function is that through heavy usage electrical connections wear resulting in dry or loose contacts that can cause heat build-up potentially causing expensive damage to the electric vehicle or the EV charger. If heat is detected in the terminal connections of the gun or socket the charger will switch off until it has cooled and then automatically turn back on and continue charging.
