Compatibility
Connection type: Attached Type 2 charging cable
The E2 Plus is designed for Type 2 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. This includes most NZ-new, UK-import, European, Korean, Chinese, and modern EVs fitted with a Type 2 AC charge port.
Common Type 2 vehicles in New Zealand include Tesla Model 3/Y, BYD Atto 3/Dolphin/Seal, MG ZS EV/MG4, Hyundai Ioniq/Kona/Ioniq 5, Kia Niro EV/EV6/EV9, Polestar 2, Volvo, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, VW, Peugeot, Renault, Mini, Ford, LDV, Toyota bZ4X, Subaru Solterra, and many other EVs and PHEVs.
This tethered Type 2 unit is best suited to vehicles with a Type 2 AC charge port. If you want to easily change between Type 2, Type 1, or Japanese-import Tesla/NACS vehicles, a socketed EVSE may be a better choice.

Solar and smart charging features
The E2 Plus is designed for homes with solar or homes that may add solar in the future. It can prioritise excess solar generation for EV charging, helping you make better use of the power your home already produces.
When solar is not available, the E2 Plus can still charge from the grid and use smart scheduling to help make better use of off-peak power rates.
Home overload protection helps manage charging around the rest of your household power use. If other appliances are using a lot of power, the E2 Plus can reduce charging power to help protect the home supply.
The E2 Plus connects to the Evnex app using Wi-Fi and built-in 4G connectivity, allowing remote control, monitoring, scheduling, charging insights, and software updates even if your home Wi-Fi is unreliable.
Charging speed guide
On a suitable single-phase 32A supply, the E2 Plus can charge at up to 7.2kW. That is roughly 50–55km of range per hour for a typical efficient EV, or most/all of a full charge overnight for many vehicles.
Actual charging speed depends on the vehicle, installation, available supply, EVSE settings, battery state, and charging losses.

Choosing the right EV charging setup
The Evnex E2 Plus is the premium single-phase Evnex option for drivers who want a New Zealand-made EVSE with solar-aware charging, an 8m tethered Type 2 cable, Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity, smart scheduling, app control, and home overload protection.
If you like the Evnex platform but do not need the longer cable or 4G connectivity, consider the Evnex E2 Core. It keeps solar charging included, but uses a 5m cable and Wi-Fi connectivity only.
If you do not need solar charging yet and want the most affordable Evnex E2 option, consider the Evnex E2 Flex. It is a grid-first Evnex unit with the option to unlock solar charging later.
If you prefer a socketed EVSE so you can change cables between Type 2, Type 1, and Japanese-import Tesla/NACS vehicles, consider the ECO Charge 7.2kW Smart OCPP EVSE or the EV Power Slimline Single Phase EVSE.
