How much does the VCHRGD Seven Pro cost?

The VCHRGD Seven Pro costs from £432 (tethered 7.5m; untethered from £395) for the unit. Installation typically costs £400–600 on top, bringing the total to around £882–£1032 fully installed. It is eligible for the £500 OZEV government grant.

Is the VCHRGD Seven Pro compatible with Tesla?

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

What warranty does the VCHRGD Seven Pro come with?

The VCHRGD Seven Pro comes with a 3 years warranty. It is OZEV-approved and certified for UK residential installation.

What is the power output of the VCHRGD Seven Pro?

The VCHRGD Seven Pro delivers 7.4kW charging power. On a standard UK single-phase supply, it charges a Tesla Model 3/Y from 20–80% in approximately 5–6 hours overnight.

Can the VCHRGD Seven Pro charge from solar panels?

Yes, the VCHRGD Seven Pro supports solar integration. It can divert surplus solar energy to charge your Tesla, potentially allowing free charging from your own solar panels during daylight hours.

Does the VCHRGD Seven Pro work with smart energy tariffs?

Yes, the VCHRGD Seven Pro integrates with smart energy tariffs like Octopus Intelligent Go and others. This enables automated off-peak charging at rates as low as 7p/kWh, saving hundreds of pounds per year compared to standard electricity rates.

The best features-to-price deal in this selection. £432 buys a tethered smart charger with solar, load balancing, RFID, a cable lock, and a 7.5-metre cable — cheaper than the Tesla Wall Connector, with more in the box. Two honest concerns: VCHRGD is a newer brand without the long reliability history of Ohme or Tesla, and the Powerverse app is a third-party platform your smart features depend on. If the price is the clincher, hard to beat. If platform longevity matters more, the Ohme or Tesla is the safer bet.

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 most features per pound of any charger in this selection, and it isn't close. £432 tethered with a 7.5-metre cable — longer than the Tesla Wall Connector's 7.3 m, and cheaper. £395 untethered, which is less than the Easee One. Add a CT clamp for load balancing and solar, two RFID cards, a cable lock, and an AI assistant in the app, and the bill of materials reads like it should cost £250 more.

Two solar modes: Solar Export blends grid with surplus, Solar Only charges exclusively from what the roof is delivering. OCPP 1.6J compliance opens the door to third-party energy management. The Powerverse app is shared across several brands and ships with Raya, an AI assistant for setup and schedule guidance. The realistic caveats are brand age (VCHRGD is newer) and platform dependency (the Powerverse app is a third party you're trusting with the smart features).

Best for: Buyers who want every smart feature and refuse to pay a premium for them.

Installation

Compact at around 4 kg, 300 × 180 × 90 mm. The 7.5-metre tethered cable is longer than the Ohme's 5 m or the Tesla's 7.3 m — useful where the consumer unit and the parking spot don't sit next to each other. An untethered version at £395 is available if you'd rather bring your own cable. The included CT clamp is fitted to the meter tails during the standard install, enabling both load balancing and solar. The cable lock is a quiet extra: it secures the tethered cable to the unit during charging, discouraging casual theft. No built-in RCD or SPD; both added at the consumer unit. IP54 + IK10 — fine for sheltered outdoor walls, well-protected against knocks. Optional 4G module for locations where wireless is patchy. Full walkthrough in our install guide.

Tariff compatibility

Schedule-based integration through the Powerverse app; compatible with Octopus Intelligent Go, Go, OVO Charge Anytime, and EDF GoElectric. Set the off-peak window; the charger draws during it. Not as deeply API-driven as the Ohme Home Pro's direct Octopus link, but a tier above the bare-schedule approach on the cheapest units. The Raya AI assistant in the app suggests schedule tweaks based on usage patterns — useful if you're new to smart charging, redundant if you aren't. OCPP 1.6J lets you connect to third-party energy management if you outgrow Powerverse. Full pattern in our EV tariff guide.

Price

Element	Cost
Unit (tethered, 7.5 m)	£432
Unit (untethered)	£395
Typical installation	£400–£600
Installed, total (tethered)	£832–£1,032

Comfortably the cheapest fully-featured smart tethered charger here. £46 below the Tesla Wall Connector with a longer cable, solar support, RFID, and OCPP included. £103 below the Ohme Home Pro, at the cost of the Ohme's deeper tariff automation. The untethered version at £395 is the outright cheapest proper unit in this selection — below even the Easee One at £405. Eligible for the £500 OZEV grant for renters and flat owners.

Against the field

Against the Ohme Home Pro: £103 cheaper and adds RFID plus OCPP; loses the Ohme's direct supplier API. Against the Zappi GLO: VCHRGD's Solar Only mode covers similar ground to Eco+ at 58% of the Zappi's price, though the Zappi's surplus logic and myenergi ecosystem are more sophisticated. Against the Tesla Wall Connector: £46 cheaper with a longer cable, plus the solar and RFID features the Tesla lacks; the Tesla has better app polish and Tesla-native scheduling. The main risk is platform: the Powerverse app isn't VCHRGD's own, so if Powerverse changes terms or pricing, the smart features depend on how that shakes out.
