Smappee EV Wall Home – Smart EV Charger
The Worlds Smartest Solution for Solar Optimised Charging
Making EV Charging Smart & Sustainable
The Smappee EV Wall electric vehicle charger provides a stylish and very functional solution for EV charging in homes, especially when optimised solar and off-peak charging is needed. The built-in Smappee smart charging capabilities provides optimised self-consumption of solar power, maximum demand limiting, and overload protection.
The Smappee EV Wall is quick to install with a simple cable configuration and installation wizard. There are options available for single-phase and three-phase powered homes. Connect to the charger via a type 2 socket or integrated charging lead.
The expandable Smappee Infinity energy monitoring system included with the charger allows users to receive detailed insights in to the charging process and costs via the Smappee app and o dashboard. Along with other appliances and circuits in their home, by adding additional circuit monitoring.
Complimenting the EV Wall’s award winning design, the EV charger also includes an integrated LED panel to indicate charging status and provide ambient lighting at night.
Charging sessions can be started and stopped with plug & charge, remotely with the app, or using the smart charging feature which optimises solar and off-peak charging.
For commercial charging options see the Smappee EV Wall Business or the dual output Smappee EV Base.
Part of the Smappee Monitoring & Control Ecosystem
Overload Protection and Dynamic Load Balancing
The EV Wall monitors the power being imported from the grid and solar production allowing it to vary the charging output dynamically. This feature allows users to add an overload set point, for example, 63A for a typical single-phase home. Smappee will then ensure this limit is never reached by controlling the output of the EV charging station.
Furthermore, this same functionality also allows the use of only excess solar power, by varying the output of the EV Wall to only consume excess solar power.
Smappee’s Smart Charging Settings
The smart charging feature provides a set and forget solution for EV charging. In addition to standard charging where users can just plug and charge at their selected speed (1.2-22kW), EV owners can also choose from three different smart methods of charging their vehicle.
This includes:
Surplus Only – Pretty self explanatory. The EV Wall will charge from excess solar power and nothing else. Home battery integration is also available by setting the solar inverter to hybrid in the app, charging the home battery first and ensuring the electric vehicle does not drain the stored power in the evening.
Schedules and Surplus – Users set how much charge they want to put into their electric vehicle by a certain time. E.g., 100km of charge added on weekdays by 7am. This will prioritise the use of excess solar power during the day and then off-peak rates overnight by tracking solar product and the different electricity tariffs added in the Smappee app. With schedules and surplus enabled, the EV Wall will continue charging past the set point if excess solar is available.
Schedules Only – Same as schedules plus surplus. However, this option won’t continue charging if excess solar becomes available. It will stick to the programmed amount of charge that needs to be added each day.
Charging for Both Single & Three-Phase Homes
The EV Wall includes options for both single-phase (240V) & three-phase (415V) supplies

Good product with a generally user friendly installation process with the assistance of Sam from Vista. Good ability to upgrade as needed for solar, etc. User interface is simple but effective
Charger looks great and works perfectly. The app is easy to use too
Excellent, responsive service.
Really delighted to have selected the Smappee EV charger from Vista Power Technologies (VPT). I had researched what was available on the Australian market and finally resolved to invest a little more for the construction and features available with this unit. Aesthetically the unit offers a contemporary design that aligned well with the architecture of the install location. However the functionality of the unit is what really separates Smappee from the crowd. The power monitoring and charge cost optimisation functions are brilliant. The web based Dashboard and SmartPhone app are also really intuitive and well thought out. The RFID NFC based charge authorisation control works well and provides a great framework for reporting on charge cost profiling per vehicle. Installation and setup procedures were well documented and straight forward which are also supported through an online installation video. Sam at VPT was also very helpful and generous with his time when I originally called to discuss the full feature set of the Smappee solution. Online ordering and delivery were hassle and issue free, with the unit arriving essentially the next business day. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the Smappee solution from VPT and have done so already with a number of my friends and associates.
A deceptively simple exterior hides a complex system that generates multiple information streams that can be used to more effectively use excess solar to charge your EV.
