I recently purchased the Lectri.co EV charger and honestly I can’t recommend it high enough. The install was easy enough for our electrician and installing the EM (Energy Meter) was also easy. I did a lot of research on different EV chargers as I wanted full Home Assistant integration and the Lektrico charger is one of a few that will fully integrate into Home assistant and also run from the Lektrico app without any issues. I have tried all three available modes…Power, Hybrid and Green and all work flawless. I am absolutely amazed at how well Hybrid and Green mode will prioritise and use your excess solar so efficiently that you almost use any energy from the grid. I currently get paid 2c per unit I export to the grid and being able to harvest that means to fully charge my EV battery will cost $1.20 using the Green mode. I attached a screenshot of a typical day without EV charging and then a day with EV charging. The purple bars are when I’m exporting and you can clearly see how the charger prioritises solar energy. I also attached a screenshot of my Charger integrated in Home Assistant. My advice is just buy it, you will love it. Also don’t forget to include the additional EM option as that will enable the Charger to prioritise Solar energy charging.
Sam has been very helpful in explaining the product. My garage locates at the far end of the house, far from my house electricity main power switchboard. To perform dynamic load balancing would be an issue, as I do not want to have a 2 wires connecting cable (traversing through my garden to the garage) for the purpose . Lektri.co charger uses my existing Netgear Orbi wireless network to do the connection (via Shelly cloud). My electrician connected the hardware with no issue what so ever. My son did the software connection. No issue with wireless connection. No power overloading so far. Fast charging even with single phase. Very happy customer!
Purchased this new EV charger based on Sam’s recommendation. My EV charger installer and I were both impressed with how easy it was to install and commission.
Very compact and neat so fits almost anywhere.
As I had limited capacity due to being in an older property, I needed the ability to carefully set the maximum output so I didn’t trip any breakers. The App allows you to select 1 amp increments from 6-32A or if I add the smart monitor (I just ordered this), only use the excess solar I export.
I like the fact I can just plug into my BYD Atto 3 and it starts charging immediately and from the App, press stop and it’s done. But I can also set it up for more advanced charging management or if I had a fleet, I can do load balancing across multiple chargers.
So far very happy with the Lektrico charger
