Almost all private residential property - and an amount of commercial properties such as high street shops and offices - operate on the standard single-phase 240v electrical supply. If this is the case you will be limited to using a 7kW charger such as the Hydra Zodiac. However, larger shops, offices, industrial premises and warehouses are linked to a three-phase 400v supply which will allow for the installation and use of a higher powered EV charger.

No, all Hydra EV chargers draw a minimal 2W on standby. They are also protected with multiple built-in safety features which mean it is safe to leave the EV charger unattended for prolonged use.

All Hydra EV chargers can charge a range of EVs from private cars to electric mopeds and commercial vans to HGV delivery trucks. Anything that takes a regular Type 2 charger can be connected. For commercial and public installations access to the charger can be activated by the use of a contactless RFID card thus preventing unauthorised use.
