The global specialist in energy managementTM
Smart
The EVlink™ range already offers built-in smart energy management. As the UK smart grid develops, features such as optimised charge power will be determined by vehicle needs and available power on the grid.
Standard
Schneider Electric is a driving force behind the creation of a European standard to enable users to charge their electric vehicles with the same level of access and safety across Europe. The complete EVlink range complies in strict accordance with the IEC 61851-1 and IEC61851-22 standard, guaranteeing maximum safety for users when charging.
Simple
The charging systems are easy to use. They offer a simple, intuitive interface for users and are designed to facilitate operation and maintenance.
The Schneider Electric EVlink residential charging solution is compatible with plug-in hybrid, extended range and battery electric vehicles equipped with charging connectors, that charge in Mode 3 operation and comply to IEC 62196-1/2 standards.
EVlink Residential charging solution The EVlink residential charging solution is a safe, high performance and easy-to-use means of charging your electric vehicle (EV).
Convenience to suit you By installing a dedicated residential charging system, you can ensure you always have convenient access to charge your EV safely and in the comfort of your own home. Charging can be up to twice as fast than with a domestic 13A socket depending on the quality of your electrical installation and possible in 6-8 hours. This also allows you the option to optimise cost savings by charging during lower tariff periods.
Absolute peace of mind The level of power and charge time required to charge an EV should never be underestimated. The power drawn from a domestic 13A single socket for a single EV charge can be the equivalent to that of a 3kW heater running at maximum load for up to 12 hours. EVlink charging provides safer and smarter control that will only allow charging when the vehicle is safely plugged in, and has been specifically designed to withstand prolonged operating conditions, on a daily basis. Our complete range complies in strict accordance with the IEC 61851-1 and IEC61851-22 standard, guaranteeing maximum safety for users when charging.
Design at its best
Installation The EVlink residential charging solution has been designed for use in residential garages or undercover environments. For driveway or outdoor solutions, please contact us for more information.
Warranty The EVlink comes with a standard 18 month product warranty and should always be installed by a competent professional electrician.
EVlink Residential certification In order to get the best from your EVlink charger, Schneider Electric has devised a specialised programme in which EVlink residentially trained electricians gain detailed product knowledge and certification.**
Lasting peace of mind Choosing an EVlink residentially certified electrician for your installation will extend your product warranty to 5 years, instead of the standard 18 months.** You can find your nearest EVlink residentially certified electrician at www.schneider-electric.co.uk/homeowners.
The EVlink residential charging solution prides itself on being sleek, durable and easy to use.
An EVlink™ residentially certified electrician will provide the following:
Design features on the charging system include a simple, intuitive interface, robust buttons and clear visual charge indicators. The shuttered socket cover provides optimum protection for the socket and maximum safety for when the charging system is not in use.
Verification of the condition of the existing electrical installation with regard to new loads.
Evaluation of cabling requirements
The high quality charging cable provided comes with an ergonomically designed comfort grip handle and protective cover. The separate cable also allows for practical storage, saving space and eliminating the need for unsightly cabling when not in use.
Further benefits These include future proofing your investment in the Schneider Electric EVlink residential charging solution. Should you choose to replace your EV at a later stage and the new vehicle is fitted with a different connector vehicle-side, you can avoid the need to replace the whole system by purchasing only a new cable.
The Schneider Electric EVlink residential charging solution ensures you can easily operate and effortlessly charge your EV whenever needed.
