What Hypervolt is known for

Hypervolt units are aimed at homeowners who want a charger that looks good on the wall and behaves simply. Where some products lead on energy features, Hypervolt leads on design and everyday usability.

  • Compact, design-led unit
  • App control and scheduling
  • Tethered options with LED indication
  • Around 7kW on a single-phase supply

Who it tends to suit

If the charger will sit on a visible part of your house, appearance is a legitimate factor — you will look at it every day for years. Hypervolt is a strong candidate where a bulky unit would spoil a frontage.

If your main goal is squeezing the last penny out of a smart tariff, compare it carefully against tariff-led alternatives before deciding.

Installation considerations

Installation follows the same principles as any home charge point: a dedicated circuit, the correct protective device, sound earthing and load management where the supply requires it. Wi-Fi coverage at the mounting position matters for app features.

Independent installer

We install Hypervolt units as an independent contractor and make no claim to manufacturer accreditation.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hypervolt suitable for outdoor mounting?

Yes — like other home chargers it is designed for external use. A position sheltered from driving rain is still a small bonus.

Does it need an internet connection?

Smart features rely on connectivity. Check the model's behaviour if your Wi-Fi drops.

How does it compare to Ohme?

Broadly similar charging performance; the difference is emphasis — design and simplicity versus tariff-led automation.
