Eco Smart 7.4kW

Start with the price, because Injet states it in a way most buyers will read wrong. The shop says "Price range: £405.00 through £1,100.00 exc.VAT" — exc. VAT, on a page selling to consumers. The £405 that has followed this charger around the internet is a number nobody pays: it is the hardware, before tax, and £486 at checkout. The £1,100 is the same charger with installation added, which is £1,320. There is no third figure. Those two prices are the whole range, and the difference between them — £834 — is what Injet charges to fit it.

The caveat to settle before any of the specification below: every line of it is Injet's own. No retailer stocks this charger — not Screwfix, not Toolstation, not an EV specialist — and no third-party installer network fits it. The shop, the installation, the warranty and the datasheet are all one company, and the warranty is a promise Injet makes about a product Injet sells through Injet. Nothing independent stands behind any of it.

One claim does hold, and Injet undersells it. INJET ECO — models iMHN-07K0-CAUK, CBUK and CCUK — is on the DfT's eligible chargepoint model list, updated 15 June 2026. The £500 OZEV grant is real. It is also the renters-and-flat-owners grant: if you own the house the driveway belongs to, it is worth nothing to you, whatever list the charger appears on.

Best for: Nobody, at these prices. The case for it used to be the weather rating, and that case is gone: the Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 is on the same eligible list with the same IP65 and IK10, the same OCPP 1.6J and the same built-in PEN protection, for £362 a unit.

Installation

A 310 × 260 × 115 mm unit, around 4.5 kg, on a dedicated 32A single-phase circuit. Untethered as standard, and the tethered 5-metre version costs the same, which is worth taking — a Type 2 lead normally adds £40–60. PEN fault protection is built in, so the installer can usually skip the separate earth rod.

Injet claims IP65 and IK10: dust-tight, water-jet resistant, rated to a 20 J impact. That is a genuinely exposed-wall rating, and it is where the Tesla Wall Connector's IP44 gives up. It buys no advantage over the approved competition, though — the Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 is IP65 + IK10, the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro IP66 + IK10, the Indra Smart LUX IP67 + IK10, and the Ohme Home Pro IP65. It is also a figure with no test behind it, published by the company selling the charger.

Two things to establish before ordering. Whether the CT clamp for load management and solar is in the box or a paid extra: Injet doesn't publish it. And who is fitting it. Injet's £834 is the only installed price this charger has — no third-party network carries it, so there is nothing to quote against — and it sits well above the £400–600 a standard fit costs on any other charger here. Our home charger install guide covers what a quote should contain.

Tariff compatibility

There is no API into any UK supplier. Scheduling is manual, in the Injet Smart app — set the window once on a fixed two-rate tariff like Octopus Go and leave it. On Octopus Agile, where the price moves every half hour, it is the wrong charger: the Ohme Home Pro reads the day's rates and books the cheap slots itself. For Tesla owners the gap is narrower than it looks, because Intelligent Octopus Go schedules through the car rather than the charger. The wider pattern is in our smart-tariff chargers guide.

The compensation is OCPP 1.6J: the unit is not locked to Injet's back end and can be pointed at another one. That matters more here than it usually would, given who is standing behind the back end.

Price

Both figures are Injet's, with the VAT its shop leaves off put back on. The £486 unit is £8 above a Tesla Wall Connector, £81 above an Easee One and £124 above the Sync Energy Wall Charger 2. This is not a budget charger undercutting the field, and at £1,320 fitted it is not a mid-price one either.

Against the field

£1,320 installed is more than a Pod Point Solo 3S, which is £999 with installation included and a five-year warranty behind it. It is more than an Ohme Home Pro at £935–£1,035 installed, which follows a variable tariff — this cannot. The EVEC VEC03 is £719–£919 installed on the same grant and the same OCPP 1.6J, and the Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 is £602–£962 installed while matching the Injet line for line: the grant, OCPP 1.6J, IP65, IK10, PEN protection — from the EV brand of a UK-listed group. There is nothing on Injet's datasheet that a cheaper, better-known charger does not already do, and every number on it is Injet's own.
