⚡ At a Glance
- • Charging Power: Single-phase fast charging supports up to 7.4kW (32A) via a socketed Mode 3 Type 2 interface.
- • Best for: Well suited to homeowners with Type 2 electric or plug-in hybrid cars who want app-controlled charging and solar integration.
- • Not ideal for: Not ideal for owners of three-phase EVs who require charging above 7.4kW.
Socketed Mode 3 construction includes an auto-lock for secure connections. Smart connectivity and solar support enable scheduled, lower-cost charging.
Smart scheduling and cost savings - with Wi-Fi, LAN and Bluetooth connectivity
Monta app connectivity works over Wi‑Fi, LAN and Bluetooth and includes a Tariff Sense schedule plus usage tracking. Network links allow the charger to be controlled and monitored remotely through the app.
Owners can schedule charging during cheaper tariff windows and monitor consumption from the app, helping to cut running costs and avoid unnecessary grid charging.
Solar-assisted charging - with integrated solar function
Integrated solar function prioritises excess household solar generation for EV charging when surplus energy is detected. That operation routes available solar power into the charging session rather than drawing from the grid.
Households with solar panels can charge using their own generation, reducing grid dependence and making charging greener without manual intervention.
Weatherproof, robust installation - with IP55 rating and secure mounting
IP55 weatherproof and dust resistant design tolerates outdoor conditions and operates between -20°C and +55°C. Four-point fixing with horizontal and vertical adjustment is supplied along with a hole template to aid secure installation.
Durable construction and flexible mounting make the charger suitable for garages and driveways, providing reliable year-round performance and a tidy installation.
