Introduction: Why the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro Matters
With EVs becoming the norm - over 1.2 million are now on UK roads, according to 2025 SMMT data - home charging is critical for convenience and cost savings.
The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro aims to elevate the experience with a blend of cutting-edge tech and eco-friendly features, particularly for those with solar panels.
Let’s break down what makes this charger tick and how it stacks up in the crowded UK market…
Design and Build: A Charger That Turns Heads
The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro is a design standout. At 328mm x 243mm x 101mm, it’s one of the slimmest wall chargers available, perfect for compact spaces like urban driveways or garage walls.
Its sleek, rectangular form is accented by a customisable LED light ring and a bold lightning bolt logo, which you can dim or disable via the app for a subtler look.
Available in Ultra White, Space Grey, or Ultra Black, it’s a charger that complements your home’s aesthetic. The Space Grey, in particular, exudes premium vibes.
“This thing is bulletproof - it’s ready for whatever the British weather throws at it.” - Ben Price, Heatable Co-Founder.
The tethered cable (5m, 7.5m, or 10m options) wraps neatly around the unit, eliminating the need for a separate hook and keeping your setup tidy. The cable is lightweight and flexible, a thoughtful touch for users with limited mobility.
🇬🇧 Built in the UK, the Home 3 Pro uses a polycarbonate casing with 95% UV protection to resist fading.
Its IP66 rating ensures it’s dust- and water-resistant, while an IK10 impact rating means it can shrug off bumps from rogue footballs or harsh weather. This charger is as tough as it is stylish, ready for the UK’s unpredictable climate.

Performance: Power and Precision
Delivering a 7.4kW single-phase output, the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro offers a reliable charging speed, adding roughly 25 miles of range per hour for most EVs (e.g., a Tesla Model 3 or Nissan Leaf).
It’s compatible with Type 2 connectors (standard in the UK) and supports Type 1 via an adapter, ensuring broad EV compatibility.
The real magic lies in its smart features. The Hypervolt app is intuitive, letting you schedule charges during off-peak hours to save on tariffs like Octopus Intelligent Go.
It also provides detailed energy usage stats, helping you track costs and efficiency. Alexa integration adds a fun touch - say, “Alexa, check my EV charge,” and you’re sorted.
Dynamic load management, enabled by a CT clamp, adjusts power output to prevent overloading your home’s electrics, making it safe for households with heavy appliances.
Built-in PEN fault protection eliminates the need for an earth rod, streamlining installation and cutting costs.
“One of the best apps I’ve used for an EV charger - clean, easy to navigate, packed with data and surprisingly handy for checking charge status from the sofa” - Ben Price.
Solar Integration: Green Charging, Granular Control
For solar-equipped EV owners, the Home 3 Pro’s solar integration is a highlight, offering three modes to optimise renewable energy:
Boost Mode: Charges at full 7.4kW, prioritising solar power and using the grid as needed. Best for fast charging on low-solar days.
Eco Mode: Favours solar but maintains a minimum 1.4kW charge rate from the grid if solar output drops. Balances speed and sustainability.
Super Eco Mode: Uses only surplus solar energy, requiring at least 1.4kW excess solar to start. Ideal for eco-purists but may pause on cloudy days.
Ben Price tested these modes extensively:
“The solar integration is brilliant. Eco Mode is my go-to - it keeps the charge going even if the sun dips, but you’re still using mostly solar. Super Eco is great for sunny days when you want to be 100% green. You can see exactly how much solar you’re pulling - it’s satisfying to watch those grid costs drop.”
Solar Integration Comparison Table
Here’s how the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro’s solar capabilities compare to its closest solar-compatible rival, the Myenergi Zappi, and others without solar support:
Feature | Hypervolt Home 3 Pro | Myenergi Zappi | Ohme Home Pro | Easee One |
Solar Modes | Boost: Full 7.4kW (solar + grid) Eco: Solar priority, min. 1.4kW grid Super Eco: Solar only, min. 1.4kW surplus | Fast: Full 7kW (solar + grid) Eco: Solar priority, grid supplement Eco+: Solar only, pauses if insufficient solar | None | None |
Solar Usage Monitoring | Real-time solar usage in app | Basic solar monitoring in app | N/A | N/A |
Battery Storage Support | Planned (late 2025, via second CT clamp) | Yes (with Eddi or Libbi hardware) | No | No |
App Integration | Detailed solar stats, intuitive interface | Functional but less polished | Tariff-focused | Basic |
Pros | Three flexible modes; clear solar data; future-proof for batteries | Eco+ fully solar-dependent; current battery support | N/A | N/A |
Cons | Battery support not yet available; Super Eco needs 1.4kW surplus | Only two solar modes; bulkier design | No solar support | No solar support |
Solar Verdict: The Hypervolt’s three-mode system offers more flexibility than the Zappi’s two solar-focused modes, and its app provides superior solar usage insights. The Zappi’s existing battery support gives it a temporary edge for storage users, but Hypervolt’s planned update could make it a leader. The Ohme and Easee lack solar integration, limiting their eco-appeal.
The good news is that Hypervolt is developing software for a second CT clamp to support battery storage, expected in late 2025.
Once battery integration lands, this charger will be a no-brainer for anyone with a solar-plus-battery setup.
Installation and Warranty: Built for Ease
Installation is a breeze for certified electricians, typically taking 3-4 hours. The package includes a wall bracket and drilling template, and the redesigned internals simplify wiring.
The power cable now exits from the back, not the bottom, for a cleaner, wire-free look. Heatable’s network of installers can handle the job, ensuring compliance with UK regulations.
The Home 3 Pro comes with a 3-year warranty on parts and labour, extendable to 5 years for £100 (if purchased within 30 days of installation).
Hypervolt’s customer support is exceptional, boasting a 5-second average call response time and an 86% satisfaction score. Trustpilot reviews (1,746 five-star ratings) praise their responsiveness and product reliability.
Comparison: Hypervolt vs. the UK Competition
The UK EV charger market is bustling, so how does the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro fare against the Ohme Home Pro, Myenergi Zappi, and Easee One? Here’s a detailed comparison:
Feature | Hypervolt Home 3 Pro | Ohme Home Pro | Myenergi Zappi | Easee One |
Price (Installed) | ~£1,300 | ~£950 | ~£1,100 | ~£1,000 |
Power Output | 7.4kW | 7kW | 7kW | 7kW |
Tethered/Socketed | Tethered (5m, 7.5m, 10m) | Tethered (5m, 8m) | Tethered/Socketed | Socketed |
Solar Integration | Yes (Boost, Eco, Super Eco) | No | Yes (Eco, Eco+, Fast) | No |
Solar Modes | 3 modes: Full power, solar priority, solar only | None | 3 modes: Full power, solar priority, solar only | None |
App Features | Scheduling, solar/energy monitoring, Alexa | Scheduling, tariff integration | Scheduling, solar monitoring | Basic scheduling |
Dynamic Load Management | Yes (CT clamp) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Warranty | 3 years (5 years for £100) | 3 years | 3 years | 3 years |
Design | Slim, 3 colours, LED ring | Compact, minimal | Bulkier, functional | Sleek, colourful |
IP/IK Rating | IP66/IK10 | IP55/IK08 | IP55/IK08 | IP54/IK08 |
Comparison Insights:
Hypervolt Home 3 Pro: Best for solar users wanting flexibility and style. Its three solar modes, durable build, and smart app make it a premium pick, though it’s pricier.
Ohme Home Pro: Cheapest option, excelling in tariff integration (e.g., Octopus Go), but no solar support limits its eco-appeal.
Myenergi Zappi: Strong solar integration with battery support, but a clunkier design and less polished app. Ideal for eco-purists.
Easee One: Compact and socketed for flexibility, but lacks solar or advanced app features, making it a basic choice.
🏆 The Heatable Verdict: A Premium Charger for Smart EV Owners
The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro is a standout in the UK EV charger market, blending sleek design, robust performance, and advanced solar integration. It's three solar modes offer unmatched flexibility for green charging, while the app, Alexa support, and dynamic load management make it a tech lover’s dream.
At ~£1,300 installed, it’s a premium investment, but its UK-made quality, future-proof features (like upcoming battery support), and stellar support justify the cost for solar-equipped or tech-savvy households.
For non-solar users on a budget, the Ohme Home Pro’s tariff optimisation might be enough. If battery storage is already in your setup, the Zappi could edge out. But for most EV drivers seeking a balance of style, smarts, and sustainability, the Hypervolt is hard to beat.
