What are the pros of the NexBlue Point 2 EV charger?
1. Beautifully unique and compact space-like EV charger
Scandinavian + space = the NexBlue Point 2.
Imitating a cosmic dream, the NexBlue Point 2 takes heavy inspiration from the sky, with its space, or, quite literally, meteorite-styled charger. Angular, black, with delicate ridges, the NexBlue adds a layer of art and sophistication to any home aesthetic.
What’s more, the NexBlue is sized up as 235mm x 230mm x 107mm. Compare this to the large Indra Smart Pro at 420mm (H), 200m (W) x 130mm (D), and one of the smallest EV chargers on the market, the Ohme ePod: 230mm (H) x 140mm (W) and 100mm (D).
Mini and meteorite-like, the NexBlue EV charger is the perfect added flair to the side of your home, or a beautiful little secret tucked away in a garage.
2. Dynamic load balancing for added safety
Locked and loaded: the NexBlue Point 2 comes pre-packed with its CT clamp: the NexBlue Zen. So you can unlock the power of load balancing from the point of installation.
That means a safer charging experience as your NexBlue charger decreases its power if too much electricity is used in your house.
3. Advanced EV tariff integration with EcoPilot
Taking advantage of an EV tariff is a surefire way to save on your home electric car charging. In fact, you can charge for as little as 9p per kWh with the right home charging set-up and British Gas EV Power tariff.
With Ecopilot, you can sync your NexBlue charger with market-leading EV tariffs, including the big names: Octopus, British Gas, and OVO.
4. Solar surplus charging
Own solar panels at home? Sync them with your NexBlue Point 2, and charge your electric car with free, surplus solar electricity generated at home.
That’s cheaper, greener EV charging, straight from your roof to your car.
5. Continuous over-the-air updates
Free futureproofing: your NexBlue Point 2 constantly refreshes its internal tech with its over-the-air updates, magically keeping you up to date, without you having to touch a button.
Next-gen, always.
6. Clear, intuitive app
Clean, clear and ever so easy to use, the myNexBlue app makes home electric car charging a breeze.
The polished yet minimalistic app allows you to access a number of smart features, including:
- Monitor your home charging with fresh, real-time and backlogged data
- Schedule your charging, around your charging: Set your EV to charge via the app: early morning or middle of the night: as long as it’s plugged in, your NexBlue will automatically charge up to go.
- Lock your cable: Add an extra layer of security with
- 24/7 help centre for quick fixes
- Manage access by setting authorisation: Allow or disallow RFID cards for quick, secure charging sessions.
Easily download the NexBlue app from Google Play or the App Store.
7. LED status ring
Get quick updates on your EV charging with a simple glance using the front-facing LED in the middle of your charger, in the shape of what looks like a small branch or wishbone.
Breathing blue = On charge.
Constant red = Error
White = Offline
And, given its neat and discreet size, you won’t hear any complaints from the neighbours, unlike other charging points, such as the evec.
8. Multiple connectivity options
Difficulty choosing between a Wi-Fi or 4G-enabled home charger? You don’t have to. With the NexBlue Point 2, you get not one, not two, but three connection forms:
- Wi-Fi
- Mobile
- Bluetooth
That means if one goes down, another goes up, so you get uninterrupted, stable EV charging sessions.
Explore why a mobile or Wi-Fi connection is needed for home chargers.
9. RFID card control
Quick EV charging management guaranteed with NexBlue’s RFID compatibility. Simply tap your RFID card (similar to a gym or contactless card) on the front, and plug in. Your charger will do the rest.
10. Five-year warranty
A three-year warranty is the industry standard when it comes to home EV chargers. The NexBlue Point 2, though? Goes above and beyond, offering their customers an elevated, free five-year warranty for longer peace of mind.
What are the cons of the NexBlue Point 2 EV charger?
1. No colour choice
Despite the cosmically stylish design, the NexBlue Point 2 sadly only comes in one colour: space black.
Sleek and clean, some EV drivers might prefer the pizazz of a bolder colour. Perhaps a green to match your Mokka, or a steel blue to blend with your Tesla Model 3.
If you want a pop of colour, the NexBlue Point 2 might not be for you. Sync Energy’s wall charger, with nine different fateplate colours, might be your perfect alternative.
2. No LCD screen
Not a game changer, but if you prefer the quick charging management of a simple screen on your EV charger, such as the Ohme Home Pro, the NexBlue Point 2 might not be for you.
That said, LCD screens aren’t common by any means, or advanced tech, with most chargers only offering basic stopping or starting.
Factor in NexBlue’s app and RFID card management, and you’re still spoilt for choice on how to control your charger.
3. No tethered option
Unfortunately, the NexBlue Point 2 EV charger only comes in untethered to maintain a more aesthetic look, with no cables on show.
When it comes to tethered and untethered EV chargers, one is not better than the other; they come with their own set of pros and cons.
But if you are constantly on the move and need quick access to your charging cable or want another layer of security, the NexBlue Point 2 untethered charger might not be for you. Instead, shop around for tethered electric car chargers.
That said, you can always use the cable lock feature on the NexBlue to imitate a tethered charger for the look and feel.
Is it worth buying the NexBlue Point 2 EV charger?
Rivalling other stunningly designed electric car chargers on the market, including the Scandinavian Easee One and the slim Indra Smart LUX, the NexBlue Point 2 packs a double-duty punch with its style and functionality. Bonus points given, since NexBlue is a newcomer in the UK EV market.
Heavy on the tech, NexBlue Point 2 comes with all the beloved smart EV charging features, including solar integration, load balancing for added safety, and EV tariff integration for access to discounted EV tariff rates.
All in all, the NexBlue Point 2 is an EV charger for everyone, ticking off style, features, safety and speed.
