Meet EVO: Evolved Charging

Rolec has been manufacturing and supplying affordable electric vehicle charging to families and businesses globally for over 17 years. Throughout this time, we have kept our ear to the ground and listened to what our customers need. Which is why we continue to invest in developing technology that is both sophisticated and cost effective, to provide people with the means to go electric, without sacrificing style or function. 

With that being said, we would like to introduce our latest success: EVO! A fresh take on a familiar face, EVO is the newest member of our electric family. Affordable, modern, and compliant, EVO is the first of a new generation of home and light commercial chargers.

The Rolec Advantage 

At Rolec, we have built close relationships with our global team of electrical contractors, giving us unique insights into both our customers’ needs and preferences for creating a unit that is more installation-friendly than ever before. EVO features a highly modular design with three key components: a base, a click-in module, and a cover that provides easy access for installers. This practical and efficient design allows for quick, hassle-free installation and configuration in as little as 15 minutes, while the CT clamp’s plug-and-play capability further reduces installation time.

Available in 7.4kW and 22kW models, it offers an easy-to-use, fully compatible charging solution for all EVs and PHEVs. But, more than that, it is a powerful and compact charger that makes itself at home in any setting. Equipped with a passive cooling system that uses an aluminum heat sink to guarantee a safe maximum charging rate, and a customisable LED indicator to display clear charging status, providing personalisation and enhanced accessibility.

Even before its official launch, EVO has been turning heads, winning the Red Dot Award for Product Design 2024.

Smarter, More Efficient Charging

The EVO will always prioritise stable and efficient charging. Supporting dynamic load balancing as standard and 3-to-1 phase switching*, the unit can adjust its charger output based on your property’s available electricity usage, preventing grid overload, optimising energy use, and protecting your power supply, for easy charging and peace of mind. With three charging modes: Charge Now (plug & go), ECO (solar + grid), and ECO+ (surplus solar only), EVO offers flexibility to suit your lifestyle. 

The best part? All of this without increasing the price. With EVO, the price isn’t the only way you’ll be saving. The introduction of EVO also marks the arrival of a new way to solar charge.

With the ECO+ smart solar feature, EVO can detect and allocate surplus solar energy generated from your home to charge your electric vehicle, creating an opportunity for zero-cost charging. Drive on 100% free, renewable electricity—powering your daily commute, automatically.

Every detail is visible through the native EVO app: receive live updates on charging sessions, easily plan with the scheduled charging feature, and integrate smart tariffs to use off-peak rates. Alternatively, as with all Rolec units, users can opt to connect their charger to any OCPP-compatible app of their choice. We’re so confident in our product that we’re providing customers with an extended 5-year warranty. 

EVO is here. Units are available now, with next-day delivery for our UK customers.
