Overview

The [Brand] [Model] 7.4 kW AC is a sensible first charger for most South African homes. It runs on a single-phase supply, which is what many houses and townhouses have, and delivers enough power to fill a typical battery overnight. The tethered Type 2 cable means you simply park, unhook and plug in.

It suits drivers who charge at home most nights, households keeping an eye on their electricity bill, and anyone planning to add solar later. Scheduling in the app lets you shift charging to cheaper hours, and the load management option keeps the charger from competing with the geyser, stove and pool pump for a limited supply. If you live in a complex, its compact size and app-based tracking make it an easy fit for an individual bay; see charging in apartments and complexes.

If your property has three-phase power and your car can use it, compare the 22 kW AC version. Otherwise this unit gives you everything you need. You can browse the rest of the range under home EV chargers.

Installation

A standard install starts with a short site assessment. We check your DB board for space and capacity, measure the cable route to your parking spot and confirm where the charger will be mounted. On the day, a registered electrician installs a dedicated circuit with the correct breaker and earth-leakage protection, runs the cable, mounts the unit and tests everything before handing over a Certificate of Compliance.

Things that can add to the job include a DB board with no free ways, a long or outdoor cable run, trenching across a driveway, or body corporate approval in a sectional title scheme. We list any of these in your quote before work starts. See our installation service for the full scope, or the home charging packages for what a standard install includes.

Using it day to day

Once commissioned, the charger connects to your Wi-Fi and the app. You can start and stop sessions, set a schedule and see how much energy each charge used. Firmware updates install over the air, so features improve without a technician visiting.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Speak with StrataCharge by phone, WhatsApp or email.

Is 7.4 kW fast enough for daily driving?

For most drivers, yes. Plugging in overnight replaces a typical day's driving with time to spare. The exact range added per hour depends on your car's efficiency, at roughly [X] km per hour of charging.

Will this charger work on my single-phase supply?

That is what it is built for. We check the size of your main breaker and your household load during the site assessment, and set the charger's maximum current to suit.

Can I schedule charging for cheaper off-peak hours?

Yes. The app lets you set charging windows, which helps if you are on a time-of-use tariff or want to avoid charging during evening peak.

Does it work during load shedding?

The charger needs mains power or a backup system large enough to run it. Most home inverters are not sized to charge a car as well as run the house, so talk to us before relying on backup power for charging.

Is the CoC included when you install it?

Yes. Every installation is done by a registered electrician and includes a Certificate of Compliance for the new circuit.
