Is the NexBlue Point 2 compatible with Tesla?

Yes, the NexBlue Point 2 is fully compatible with all Tesla models sold in the UK. All UK Teslas use the standard Type 2 connector, so the NexBlue Point 2 charges at its full 7.4kW speed with no adapters needed.

What warranty does the NexBlue Point 2 come with?

A lot of charger for £530. V2G-ready hardware, tariff automation, solar surplus, lifetime 4G — all included, where most competitors charge extra for at least one. The honest caveat is brand maturity: NexBlue hasn't been in UK homes long enough for reliability data to settle, and you're betting the hardware is as good as it looks on paper. The five-year warranty is reassuring; if you want a fully-proven name, the Ohme Home Pro or Tesla Wall Connector remain the safer buys.

A lot of charger for £530. One of only a handful of UK home units with full ISO 15118 compliance and OCPP 2.0.1 out of the box — genuinely V2G- and Plug-and-Charge-ready hardware, not a marketing version. The Zaptec Go 2 (£500) is the other charger in this round-up making the same certified V2G bet; NexBlue sits just above it on price and throws in a CT clamp for solar the Zaptec doesn't.

EcoPilot — the app's tariff automation — aims at the same job as the Ohme Home Pro's direct API link, with claimed support for Intelligent Go, Agile, and other time-of-use tariffs. A built-in 4G eSIM provides lifetime-free cellular, a MID-certified meter gives legally accurate readings, and the 5-year warranty is above average. The catch: NexBlue is a newer brand with less UK track record than Ohme, myenergi, or Tesla. The hardware looks right; the reliability story is still being written.

Best for: Forward-thinking buyers who want V2G readiness, MID metering, and tariff automation in a compact untethered unit — and who are comfortable being early.

Installation

One of the lightest mounts in this selection at 2.1 kg, 235 × 230 × 107 mm — only the Easee One at 1.5 kg is lighter. Untethered: no cable on the wall, bring your own Type 2. The included CT clamp on the meter tails handles both dynamic load balancing and solar surplus charging — no separate hardware purchase required. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and built-in 4G eSIM for connectivity; the installer doesn't have to think about Wi-Fi reach. No built-in RCD or SPD; both added at the consumer unit. IP54 + IK10: sheltered outdoor positions, with the highest impact rating. Full walkthrough in our install guide.

Tariff compatibility

EcoPilot automates charging against smart tariffs — the app schedules into the cheapest half-hours of Octopus Agile, Intelligent Go, Go, and similar time-of-use setups. The MID-certified meter provides legally accurate readings, which matters for workplace reimbursement and is essential for eventual V2G settlement. OCPP 2.0.1 is the newest version of the standard and sets the charger up for future third-party platforms and energy-management systems. Whether EcoPilot's day-to-day polish matches the Ohme's well-worn Octopus API remains to be seen as the product matures. Full pattern in our EV tariff guide.

Price

Element	Cost
Unit	£530–£600 (varies by retailer)
Typical installation	£400–£600
Installed, total	£930–£1,200

Competitive for the feature set. £30 above the Zaptec Go 2 but adds a CT clamp for solar the Zaptec lacks. £52 above the Tesla Wall Connector, with tariff automation, solar surplus, V2G readiness, and lifetime 4G included. The included CT clamp saves £50–£100 versus chargers that need one bought separately. Eligible for the £500 OZEV grant for renters and flat owners.

Against the field

Against the Zaptec Go 2: both certified V2G-ready with MID meters. NexBlue £30 dearer but adds the solar CT clamp and EcoPilot; Zaptec has the longer UK install history. Against the Ohme Home Pro: NexBlue has V2G readiness and OCPP 2.0.1 the Ohme doesn't, but the Ohme's tariff API is the established benchmark. Against the Easee One: £125 dearer, and the gap buys smart tariff automation, solar surplus, and V2G. The unknown is reliability: NexBlue hasn't been in UK homes long enough for the data to settle. The five-year warranty helps; early-adopter appetite decides.
