Hypervolt
Home 3 Pro
★★★★★
4.7 / 5 · independently reviewed · 3 years (extendable to 5) warranty
Buy this if you don't want to keep making the decision. The Hypervolt is rarely the best answer to any single question and almost always the second-best answer to all of them. The IP66 + IK10 build is a proper advantage; the 10-metre cable option is a proper advantage; the UK support line is real. Look elsewhere only if you specifically need the Ohme Home Pro's tariff automation, the Zappi GLO's surplus-solar logic, or the Tesla's lower price.

What we loved
- PlusDoes everything competently — smart-tariff scheduling, solar diversion, long cable, tough build
- PlusIP66 + IK10 — the best weather and impact rating in this selection
- PlusCT clamp for solar included; no extra hardware to buy
- Plus10-metre tethered cable option is the longest on any charger here
- PlusUK-designed and built; phone support picks up in about five seconds
- PlusThree-year warranty extends to five for £100
- PlusInterchangeable covers (Ultra White, Space Grey, Ultra Black)
What we didn't
- MinusSingle-phase only; no 22kW three-phase option
- Minus£690 unit-only sits in an awkward middle — pricier than the Tesla or Ohme, less specialised than the Zappi
- MinusSolar diversion is basic next to the Zappi's Eco+
- MinusThe app works, but isn't class-leading

Figures are estimates. Your actual saving depends on how much charging you do in the off-peak window versus during the day, and on your provider's standing charge. Read the individual tariff reviews for the full picture.

The answer when you can't decide. The Hypervolt does smart-tariff scheduling, basic solar diversion, three cable lengths (including a 10-metre option no other charger here matches), and is built to a standard the competition doesn't bother with: IP66 weather rating, IK10 impact rating, anodised aluminium front. UK-designed, UK-built, and the phone line answers in about five seconds. It's the charger you buy when you don't want to keep making the decision, and don't want to be the unlucky one with a unit that packs up two winters in.
It won't win against specialists. The Ohme Home Pro beats it on tariff depth. The Zappi GLO beats it on solar. The Tesla Wall Connector beats it on price. But it's never worse than second in any of those, and it's first on build and on support.
Best for: Buyers who want one competent charger that does everything and has a cable long enough to reach wherever you park.
Installation
Compact at 4.5 kg, 270 × 170 × 110 mm. The cable options matter most: 5 m, 7.5 m, or 10 m. The 10-metre option is the longest fitted cable on any charger here and earns its keep on any property where the consumer unit is at one end of the house and the car parks at the other. A CT clamp for solar is included in the box; the installer fits it to the meter tails during the standard install. No built-in RCD or SPD; both get added at the consumer unit. IP66 + IK10: the toughest rating in this round-up, so a prominent, exposed driveway position is no problem. Full walkthrough in our install guide.
Tariff compatibility
Scheduling runs through the Hypervolt app. Compatible with Octopus Intelligent Go, Octopus Go, OVO Charge Anytime, and other time-of-use tariffs. Set the off-peak window; the charger draws only during it. Unlike the Ohme Home Pro, it doesn't hold a live API connection to your supplier, so it can't grab extra Intelligent Go slots or chase Octopus Agile half-hourly prices. On a fixed two-rate tariff — Go, most of the time — that's not a limitation. On a variable tariff, the Ohme earns its difference. More in our tariff guide.
Price
| Element | Cost |
|---|---|
| Unit | £690 |
| Typical installation | £400–£600 |
| Installed, total | £1,090–£1,290 |
Mid-to-upper in this selection. More than the Tesla (£478) or Ohme (£535), less than the Andersen A3 (£995). You're paying for the CT clamp in the box, the 10-metre cable option, IP66/IK10, the interchangeable covers, and the warranty extension (£100 takes you from three years to five). Eligible for the £500 OZEV grant for renters and flat owners.
Against the field
Rarely wins outright, rarely loses badly. Vs Wallbox Pulsar Max: similar price, more cable options, higher IP rating. Vs Zappi GLO: basic solar against Eco+ — the Zappi wins if you want solar down to the penny, the Hypervolt wins if you want solar plus everything else in one box. Vs Ohme Home Pro: if your tariff varies, buy the Ohme; if your driveway is awkward and your priorities are plural, buy this.
