Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 – Smart 7.4kW EV Charging with Solar & Tariff Control
The Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 is a 7.4kW smart EV charger designed for UK homes that want better control over energy use, charging costs and long-term flexibility. Built around a universal Type 2 socket, it supports all modern electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles while delivering intelligent charging features through the Sync Energy app and open-protocol connectivity.
Designed for everyday reliability and future-ready performance, the Wall Charger 2 range balances straightforward operation with advanced energy management. Whether charging overnight on a lower-cost tariff or prioritising surplus solar during the day, the charger adapts to your energy setup rather than locking you into a single charging routine.
Smart Charging & Tariff-Aware Control
The Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 includes intelligent scheduling and tariff-aware charging through the Sync Energy platform. This allows users to align charging sessions with cheaper electricity periods, helping reduce running costs without needing to manually manage start and stop times.
The system provides clear visibility of charging behaviour and energy use, giving households better control over when and how their vehicle charges. This is particularly useful in homes where EV charging forms part of a wider energy-saving strategy.
- Scheduled charging: Align sessions with off-peak electricity windows.
- Smart tariff compatibility: Optimise charging around lower-cost energy periods.
- Real-time monitoring: Track charging activity through the app.
By automating charging around lower-rate energy periods, the Wall Charger 2 helps make EV ownership more predictable and cost-efficient over time.
Solar-Ready Charging
The Wall Charger 2 range supports intelligent solar charging, allowing the charger to prioritise surplus solar generation when available. This enables excess daytime production to be used directly for EV charging rather than being exported back to the grid.
For homes with solar panels, this helps increase self-consumption and improve the value of generated energy. Charging behaviour can automatically adjust depending on available solar power, supporting a more efficient use of renewable electricity.
- Surplus solar prioritisation: Charge using excess PV generation.
- Flexible charging modes: Balance grid and solar charging.
- Improved self-consumption: Use more of the energy you generate.
This makes the Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 a strong option for households aiming to reduce grid reliance and maximise renewable energy use.
Untethered Type 2 Socket for Flexibility
The charger features a Type 2 socket with auto-lock, providing flexibility across current and future vehicles. The untethered design allows you to choose a cable length that suits your parking setup while keeping the unit neat and cable-free when not in use.
This approach is particularly useful for multi-vehicle households or for drivers planning to change vehicles over time, as the charger remains compatible with a wide range of EVs.
- Universal compatibility: Works with all Type 2 electric vehicles.
- Auto-locking socket: Secure connection during charging.
- Clean appearance: No fixed cable when not in use.
