Hi All,
I have been researching home chargers ahead of getting my car..
I think that as I am after a small discrete charger that I am down to either the EO Mini Pro or the Sync EV..
Out of those two, the Sync EV appears to have more features, Rfid, PEN protection, Cellular connectivity, RJ45 cable connectivity etc, so I am leaning towards that.
Anyone got a Sync EV charger and use it with an ID.3?
Would appreciate any comments before I push the button on an order..
Ta.
Anyone got a Sync EV Compact Charger ?
There's a discussion on these over on Speak EV..

Hi i have the EO fitted in conjunction with Octopus Energy using Go and I’m very happy with it !just plug it in and set it up with App for charging at 5p kWh in the night, it works fine
The one thing I did do for extra wether proofing was fit box round it pease of mind !

Is that an official box (designed for the charger) to go round it? Just wondering how warm it might get in use supplying 32A? Most chargers are designed to be weather-proof.

I’ve submitted my application for an EO Mini Pro 2 through Octopus. Looking for as small a charger as possible, which is weatherproof. Quite a few photos of installs on forums which sold me in the end.

I’ve a SyncEV and after the initial unit needed replacing and repairing (power spikes apparently / internal fuse repair) it’s been fine for the last 3 months.
I’m not on octopus so not used the timed functions but it’s all there in the app - including a direct setup for go.
For me it was handy having a unit with 3G built in (£20 extra for the data card) as it meant no WiFi issues.
App seems fine - tech support are decent (it’s UK based - Crawley!). It’s not perfect but tbh I don’t think any charger is. I liked it because it was small and discrete.

So you’ve put your charger in a weatherproof box when the vehicle is not charging, and then open the weatherproof box to the elements while the electricity current is flowing to the vehicle?
