Packed full of your most-wanted features, the VCHRGD Seven EV charger comes with solar integration and dynamic load balancing at no additional cost.

  • Features
    PEN Protection

    No earth rod is needed for the VCHRGD Seven as it already comes with PEN fault detection, meaning no additional costs and simpler, quicker installation.

    Solar Ready

    Use your solar panels to top up your electric vehicle for FREE! The VCHRGD Seven comes with a solar CT clamp as standard, meaning no add-on purchase is needed to be able to charge with surplus solar energy.

    Dynamic Load Management

    A load-balancing clamp is included with your VCHRGD Seven, meaning the charger will track and adjust its power outlet based on your property's electrical demand to ensure safer charging.

    Plug & Charge

    Start charging with just the push of a button. If you aren't a fan of tech, there the VCHRGD has the option of manual charging. All you have to do is plug your electric vehicle into your charger, press the start button on the side of the unit, and your EV will start charging. Don't worry about your Wi-Fi dropping off either, as you can still charge your electric vehicle with this reliable feature.

    RFID Tap & Charge

    Plug your charger into your electric vehicle and swipe your VCHRGD RFID card, and ta-dah - your EV will start charging. You will receive two RFID cards with your charger. To stop, just swipe your card again.

    App Control

    Create charge schedules, start and stop your charging and authenticate devices with the intelligent VCHRGD Seven app. You even get access to their in-app help desk, meaning whatever issue, VCHRGD will be there to help with just the tap of a button.

    VCHRGD's Sustainability Commitment

    VCHRGD are striving to protect the environment through carbon neutrality and ecologically responsible practices. So, for every VCHRGD Seven made, seven trees are planted with Ecologi.

    Over the Air Updates

    No need to manually update your EV charger; your VCHRGD Seven will automatically do it for you, keeping you up to date with the latest and greatest.

    VCHRGD Seven Tethered or Untethered For the Same Price

    Smart Tariff Integration

    The VCHRGD Seven is compatible with the Octopus Go Tariff and the Octopus Agile Tariff.

    Cable lock

    Permanently lock your socketed cable into place with the VHCRGD cable lock feature, giving it the look and feel of a tethered EV charger.

At We Power Your Car, we recommend that an SPD is installed. However, if you do not want an SPD, you will need to sign this document.

  • FAQs
    How long does it take to charge an EV with a 7kW home charger?

    It takes approximately 4-8 hours to charge your EV with a 7kW charger, adding 25 to 30 miles of range per hour. However, multiple factors can affect charging speed, such as weather conditions and the size of the battery.

     

    Learn more about 7kW EV charging times.


    What's the difference between a tethered and untethered EV charger?

    A tethered EV charger has the charging cable permanently attached to the unit, whereas an untethered or sometimes called ‘socketed’ EV charger doesn’t, meaning you have to insert the cable whenever you want to charge.

    There are pros and cons to both, but ultimately it’s down to personal preference as to which version you’d like.

     

    Learn more about tethered and untethered EV chargers.


    Is a dedicated 7kW home charger better than a three-pin plug charger?

    At a charging rate of roughly 2.3kW-2.5kW, three-pin plug charging is significantly slower than a 7kW home charger – taking 18 hours for a full charge. Continuously charging your EV from a domestic three-pin socket can be dangerous too.

    Learn more about 3-pin plug EV charging.


    Is the VCHRGD Seven compliant with the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021?

    Yes, as with all our EV chargers, the VCHRGD Seven is compliant with the electric vehicle smart charge points regulations.

     

    Learn more about the Smart EV charging regulations.


    Can I get a 22kW version of the VCHRGD Seven?

    The VCHRGD Seven only comes in 7kW.

    If you are interested in a 22kW EV charger, please be aware that your home has to have a three-phase electricity supply. Most homes in the UK have a single-phase electricity supply and would therefore require an expensive fuse upgrade from your DNO.

    You can find more information on 22kW chargers here.

Standard Installation
Our instant price is fixed if it falls within our standard installation package plus any additions that you have selected (extra cabling for example). This package covers the majority of homes in the UK. Before we undertake your installation we will carry out a digital survey to check that nothing has been missed. After reviewing the survey results some additional work may be required in order to complete your installation safely and to the required standards. If this is the case, we will contact you well before the installation date and advise the cost of any required work. You can then continue with your installation, or alternatively we will refund you in full if you do not want to proceed.

Included in our standard installation is :
• Fitting of a single phase charge point to a brick or plaster wall or other suitable permanent structure
• Up to 10 metres of cable, run and neatly clipped to the wall between the electricity supply meter / distribution board and the charge point.
• Routing of the cable through a drilled hole in a wall up to 500mm (20 inches) thick if this is needed.
• The fitting and testing of electrical connections and protections required for the charge point.
• An additional three way consumer unit, if required
• Installation of a Type A RCBO in an RCBO enclosure
• Up to 3 metres of plastic trunking to conceal interior wiring.
• An O-pen earth protection device if the charge point requires it. (This is NOT an earth rod)
• Up to 4 hours of labour from your installer to complete the work.
• Electrical testing of the whole installation.
• Handover and setup of the charge point and any app that may be needed.

Not included in our standard installation (additional work) :
• Where the installation requires additional cabling over and above the amount you have told us about.
• Upgrade/replacement of the main incoming supply fuse where the local DNO (eg Northern Powergrid) would need to attend site.
• If the charge point is to be mounted on a post/pedestal rather than an existing wall and where you have not selected a post as an extra cost option in your order.
• Installation of a charge point to a three phase supply.
• Where gas and water mains bonding (earthing) is not in place at your property. If this is not in place, additional work would be required before installation of the charge point.
• Any groundwork that has not been selected during the order process.

A Surge Protection Device is not included in our standard installation. 

What else you need to know :
• On the day of installation, please ensure that the area around your consumer unit (fuse box), incoming electricity supply meter and proposed charge point location (including where the cable is expected to be run) is clear and free of obstructions.
• We will need your WiFi password as part of the installation process in order to connect your charge point to the internet. Please have this available for the installer. Details will not be kept.
• The charge point must be on your own designated off road parking.
• The charger will be fixed in line with current guidelines at a height where it cannot be hit by a vehicle.
• Our installers are not able to enter loft spaces; lift floorboards or flooring; take apart any furniture of work above a height of 2m. If you anticipate that any of this may be required, then please contact us and we can discuss in more detail and provide you with a quotation.
• Should there be extreme weather conditions our installers may not be able to continue with you installation if it is not safe to do so (for example flooding). They will always do their best to complete the work where they can.
