Pros
- Eco+ mode charges purely from surplus solar — the strongest solar-only story of any UK home charger
- Native integration with Octopus Intelligent Go, OVO Charge Anytime, and EDF GoElectric, so it slots into the three biggest UK smart-tariff ecosystems
- Built-in PEN fault protection and surge protection — typically saves £100–£150 on the install vs chargers that need an external Type-A RCD/PEN device
- Built-in WiFi and Ethernet on the v2.1 — no separate hub purchase required for smart features
- Integrates with the wider myenergi ecosystem (Eddi for hot-water diversion, Libbi battery, Harvi wireless CT) for whole-home energy optimisation
- British-designed and built in Lincolnshire; 500,000+ units shipped across the myenergi product line
- Tethered and untethered options, plus 7kW single-phase and 22kW three-phase variants
Cons
- Standard 3-year warranty is shorter than the 5-year cover Easee and Ohme ship as standard
- Supports OCPP 1.6, not OCPP 2.0 — a future-proofing question if upcoming UK smart-charging regulation tightens around the newer protocol
- Eco+ mode requires a ~1.4kW solar-surplus threshold to start, which is non-obvious from the UI and trips up new owners
- Dynamic Load Management can quietly reduce the charge rate when the household is running other heavy loads (heat pump, home battery charging) — looks like a fault until you understand it
- An additional Harvi module (around £180) is often needed when the consumer unit is far from the charger location
