Hypervolt Home 3 Pro: specifications and features

The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro is a 7kW tethered smart EV charger, made in the UK and sold in three colours: Space Grey, Ultra White and Ultra Black¹. It was released in late 2023 and remains Hypervolt's current generation charger³. The charger alone is listed from £690 plus installation, while Hypervolt's own installed packages start at £1,099 including standard installation and VAT¹.

It is a solar-optimised charger: it works with solar panels, offers three charging modes including a solar-only option, and since July 2026 has a Solar Insights feature that shows how much of each charge came from your own generation¹. It connects over Wi-Fi or ethernet, with no 4G option, and can be controlled by voice through an Amazon Alexa unit¹.

For a household working towards energy independence, the Home 3 Pro is a strong tool: it lets you fill a car from your own solar generation rather than the grid, and it works with smart tariffs that cut the cost of the grid electricity you do use. The dependence that remains is real, though: the smart features need home broadband and Hypervolt's own app and servers, and the longest tariff savings depend on a supplier's pricing continuing.

An overview of the Home 3 Pro and its manufacturing origin

The Home 3 Pro is Hypervolt's flagship home wallbox: a 7kW smart charger with a permanently attached (tethered) cable, so there is nothing to carry in the car or plug into the unit itself¹. Hypervolt describes it as "Beautiful design. Simple to use. Made in the UK."². UK manufacture matters for a household thinking about supply chains: it shortens the distance between the factory and your wall, and it means the company behind the product is a UK one, regulated here, rather than an importer of overseas hardware.

The charger sits in Hypervolt's current generation, released in late 2023, and the company continues to develop it through software updates rather than replacing the hardware³. That matters for longevity: features such as Solar Insights arrived in 2026 on chargers sold in 2023, so a unit bought early has gained capability without being swapped⁴.

It is a smart charger in the legal sense as well as the practical one, which means it must meet the UK's smart charge point regulations on connectivity and security. The practical effect for a householder is that the charger can be scheduled, monitored and updated remotely, and it can respond to tariff signals rather than simply pouring in power the moment you plug in.

Key specifications in brief

The headline numbers are straightforward. The charger delivers 7kW, the standard rate for a UK home wallbox on a single-phase supply, and it measures 328 x 243 x 101mm, which is compact enough for most garages and driveways¹. The connection is tethered, with a Type 2 connector, and there are three cable lengths to choose from: 5 metres, 7.5 metres and 10 metres¹.

Two of these deserve a closer look. The tethered cable means the connector is always at the charger, which is convenient day to day but fixes the length at purchase: a 5 metre cable that will not reach a car parked across the drive is a problem you cannot solve later without changing the unit, so measure before ordering. The 10 metre option, described as a "super-long 10m charging lead", exists for exactly that situation¹.

The connectivity point matters too. The Home 3 Pro connects via Wi-Fi or an ethernet cable, but there is no 4G option¹. If your broadband signal is weak where the charger will hang, plan an ethernet run or a Wi-Fi improvement before installation day, because the app, scheduling and tariff integration all depend on it.

Cost: £690 before fitting, or £1,099 installed

The charger alone is listed from £690 plus installation¹. Hypervolt's own installed packages start at £1,099 including standard installation and VAT with the 5 metre cable, rising to £1,149 with the 7.5 metre cable and £1,199 with the 10 metre cable². All prices include VAT, and additional charges apply if you live in what Hypervolt defines as a Remote Area, with the surcharge shown in your quote².

There is a second route to the same hardware. OVO installs the Home 3 Pro from £999 including installation, whether or not you are an OVO customer⁵. That is £100 less than Hypervolt's own starting package for the same charger, and it is a genuine choice: the charger, warranty and app are the same either way, but the installation and aftercare route differs.

For context against comparable chargers, the Ohme Home Pro is listed from £999 with installation and the EO Mini Pro 3 from £1,250 with installation¹. So the Home 3 Pro sits in the middle of the familiar UK price band for a fitted smart wallbox.

The three charging options: Boost, Eco and Super Eco

The Home 3 Pro has three charging modes: Boost, Eco (solar and grid) and Super Eco (solar only)¹. Boost charges at full power from the grid whenever you plug in. Eco blends solar generation with grid electricity, so the car charges from your panels with grid power topping up the difference. Super Eco restricts charging to solar energy only, so the car charges only when your panels are producing enough power.

This three-mode structure is the common pattern among solar-aware UK chargers, and it is worth understanding what each mode trades away. The myenergi zappi offers eco, eco+ and fast modes, with eco+ charging only when solar panels produce more power than the home is using, and slowing the charge to avoid grid energy⁷. The Rolec EVO works the same way: ECO uses solar by day and scheduled grid power at night, ECO+ uses only surplus solar, and CHARGE NOW offers a maximum charge at any time⁹. Good Energy describes the zappi's eco+ mode as ensuring "your car only charges when your solar panels are producing more power than your home is using"⁸.

The trade-off is speed against purity. Super Eco charging is the most independent mode, because no grid electricity enters the car at all, but it is also the slowest and least predictable: a cloudy week means little or no charging. Eco keeps the car moving by allowing the grid to fill the gap. Boost abandons solar prioritisation entirely and is the mode to use when you need the car full by morning regardless of where the energy comes from.

Since February 2024, Home 3 Pro chargers have supported Multi-Mode Scheduling, which lets a schedule use different modes at different times, with existing schedules converted automatically. The app also gives an estimate of the energy a schedule will deliver when using Boost or Eco mode, based on the average grid voltage and the charger's configured maximum current limit¹¹.

Compatible smart energy deals and connections

The Home 3 Pro is compatible with OVO's Charge Anytime tariff, and it was reported as joining the group of chargers compatible with Intelligent Octopus Go in late 2024¹. In January 2025, EDF announced a strategic partnership with Hypervolt to explore a frequency response service using EVs, alongside access to EDF's smart charging EV tariff. The outline of tariff support Hypervolt has built, described in its own engineering updates, covers Octopus Intelligent Go and OVO Charge Anytime³.

Tariff compatibility is where a smart charger earns part of its cost back. A time-of-use tariff charges a much lower unit rate overnight, and a compatible charger can schedule charging into those cheap windows automatically. For comparison, Indra's chargers support Intelligent Octopus Go, OVO Charge Anytime, E.ON Next Drive Smart and EDF's Smart Charging bolt-on¹², and Simpson & Partners' Home Series V3 works with Intelligent Octopus and OVO Anytime¹³. Independent guidance notes that smart chargers such as the Ohme Home Pro, Wallbox Pulsar Max and zappi work with most EV tariffs from the likes of Octopus, E.ON Next and OVO¹⁵.

The practical point for a householder is to check the current list before signing up to any tariff. Compatibility changes as suppliers and charger makers add or withdraw integrations, and a tariff is a contract with a supplier, not with the charger maker. The charger is the enabler; the saving depends on the supplier's rates.

Working with solar panels and batteries, plus Solar Insights

The Home 3 Pro is compatible with solar panels, and Hypervolt describes it as a solar-optimised charger¹. The centrepiece of the solar side is Solar Insights, launched in beta in July 2026 for Home 3 and Home 3 Pro chargers only: it splits each charging session into solar and grid energy, so a household with panels can see exactly how much of the car's charge came from its own roof⁴. Earlier Hypervolt models do not support the feature, and it requires a home with its own solar generation and a compatible setup⁴.

Solar Insights is a reporting feature rather than a charging control: the modes do the work of prioritising solar, and the feature shows you the result. For a household tracking its energy independence, that visibility is the point. Knowing that a given charge was, say, mostly solar rather than mostly grid turns a vague ambition into a measurable one.

The charger also pairs naturally with home battery storage, though no battery integration figures specific to the Home 3 Pro are published. For context on what sits alongside it, a Tesla Powerwall 3 costs £7,495 installed with an integrated inverter and system controller and a 10-year warranty¹⁷, and a Powervault 3 battery is listed at £3,229 for 4kWh or £4,999 for 8kWh, excluding VAT and installation, also with a 10-year warranty¹⁹. A battery changes the solar charging calculation, because surplus generation stored at midday can charge the car overnight instead.

Guarantees, fitting times and company independence

The Home 3 Pro comes with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty². That is shorter than some of the hardware around it: the Powerwall 3 battery carries a 10-year warranty¹⁸, and Simpson & Partners offers a 10-year enclosure warranty on its freestanding unit¹⁴. Three years is the term to weigh when comparing installed quotes, because it covers the charger itself for a shorter period than the wall it hangs on.

Installation follows a survey. Hypervolt states its expert team will fit your charger around 6 weeks after you complete the survey, and that some installations may take longer². The physical installation usually takes around two hours once the installer arrives, with the installer coordinating with your Distribution Network Operator²⁰. Lead times of this order are not unusual for home energy work: evidence to a Scottish parliamentary roundtable suggested that for heat pumps, two to three months can elapse before installation is even scheduled²¹, and the Energy Saving Trust notes that its charge point installer onboarding alone can take up to 15 days from application²².

What owning one means for independence is a mixed picture, and it is worth being clear about both halves. On the benefit side, the charger lets a household shift car fuel from imported petrol or diesel to its own solar generation and to off-peak grid electricity, which is a genuine reduction in dependence on volatile fuel prices. On the dependence side, the smart features run through home broadband, Hypervolt's servers and the Hypervolt app: there is no 4G fallback if the Wi-Fi drops¹. The tariff savings run through a supplier's pricing decisions. The charger itself is UK-made, which shortens one supply chain, but the software chain runs to the manufacturer either way.

About Hypervolt

Hypervolt is a UK-based charger maker, and it states that the Home 3 Pro is made in the UK². The company has a Trustpilot score of 4.9/5². For context, that sits above the scores of major energy suppliers: E.ON Next has 4.5 out of 5, EDF Energy 4.6 out of 5 and Scottish Power 4.3 out of 5²³. A maker's Trustpilot score reflects customer service and installation experience as much as hardware quality, so it is best read as a measure of how the company behaves when something goes wrong.

The company's development history shows a pattern of software-led improvement to the Home 3 Pro platform. App version 5.3, released in 2024, added energy estimates for scheduled charging and biometric sign-in¹¹. In 2024 Hypervolt also announced an adaptive telemetry replay engine that streams missing data back to its servers after internet outages, rolling out first to Home 3.0 and Home 3 Pro chargers. In 2025 it launched the pre-launch phase of Ultra Mode, focused on grid support, and in March 2025 it announced a partnership with Heatable to integrate the Home 3 Pro, described as "a top-tier solar-optimized EV charger", into Heatable's solar and storage packages¹⁶. In July 2025, facing delays bringing intelligent tariff support to its older V2 platform, Hypervolt offered Home 2 customers a 25% discount and a free 5-year warranty to upgrade to the Home 3 Pro³.

That last episode is instructive for a buyer. It shows the company continuing to support older hardware with discounts rather than abandoning it, but it also shows that the newest features, tariff integrations included, arrive on the newest generation first. A Home 3 Pro bought today is the current generation; there is no guarantee it stays the newest for long.
