Today, I am reviewing this electric vehicle charger to the extreme, This is the new Hypervolt Home 3 Pro. I have a collection of types of ev chargers including the previous hypervolt v2 ev charger so let's compare them against each other. This review should be helpful to installers but also to people trying to decide which EV charger to buy.

Disclaimer: Hypervolt sent me this charger for free and paid a small production cost to me, they had ZERO control over the script and my comments on the charger or made any changes to any versions of the video I recorded. The production fee was a blind fee meaning they paid the fee no matter the outcome of my findings.

Great stuff and thank you. But just a point - an IP rating of 66 is not a 66 protection against ingress of water. The first digit pertains to protection against harmful solid particles, such as dust, powders, etc. the second digit pertains to protection against ingress of water. IP54_ protection against light airborne dust particles; and can be wiped over with a damp cloth but preferable then wiped dry with a dry cloth. And could be ok in foggy conditions but best placed under cover if expected to be rained on. IP65_ protection against heavy deposits of dust particles or powders; and can be wiped over with a wet cloth or occasionally splashed but not squirted with a pressurised jet. IP66_ protection against heavy deposits of dust particles or powders; and can be squirted with a pressure jet, so could be hosed over for cleaning.

I'm a bit curious about your concern with the strength of the case. Do you live in a particularly rough area where people roam the streets with cricket bats and other weapons in case they get the opportunity to attack an EV charger? I have had my Zappi for a couple of years now and nothing like this has ever happened.

Gen2 Zappi’s meet IK10 also… the reason for EV chargers needing ik10 is more incase you reverse your car into it or it gets damaged by something falling onto it and making the live 240v a touch risk

Hey Nick. Would you be able to do a video reviewing/comparing EV charger apps as I don't see one existing? Or even provide any advice on them? I need an EV Charger for a Tesla model 3 I'm getting soon in Ireland and the Tesla Wall Connector doesn't seem to be covered by our 600 euro grant in the Republic Of Ireland because apparently Tesla hasn't added it...? When that's only been a requirement since may here. So I was thinking maybe the Zappi as that seems to be all most installers here do besides the Ohme and Wallbox which I don't really like the look or cable management of. Only issue with the Zappi is the app doesn't seem great and it seems that if you don't have solar (which I don't) it'd all be a bit odd UI wise? But I do like the look of it and the cable management. Also all the apps of Ohme and Wallbox don't seem to have great reviews on the Android app store either. I liked how the Tesla one can lock to my specific car, uses the same app now with the gen 3 which I don't think you've reviewed? And opens the charge port of course... But it does fall short in being on no grant schemes in many countries and having no pen fault detection or even load balancing still to my knowledge. Hypervolt is actually on our grant list despite not being officially sold/supported here and the app seems great, but, it still does seem almost not as great as the Zappi? In terms of hardware and potential for long term app support. Though who knows really. to at least electricians in Ireland so would have to buy it myself I think despite being able to get the grant for it...

​@@NicolasRaimo Have you reviewed the gen 3 Tesla wall connector? I guess I would just like an in depth review and pros of cons of the apps of each chargers app. As apps often seemed skimmed in most reviews never mentioning any of the issues people seem to have in app reviews and their abysmal reviews on app stores which seems dishonest to me. Like in your original hypervolt review you mentioned that they didn't allow you to schedule by the day but would like to see that added via software update. Then in this review you don't even go into the settings page for scheduling but just briefly mention it at a 12:57 without the app screen. In your zappi review you didn't even go into any of the apps features. And no one talks about Ohme having 1.7 stars over 226 reviews on android for example. Reason I care about this is because with an LFP battery I'd like a charger I could just schedule to charge for longer one day a week as to get it to 100% only once a week. And to my knowledge no charger can know your cars SoC. I know you can just manually change charge limit in most cars including tesla, I just don't want me or my family to have to think about charging it to 100% once a week forever and it to be more of an automatic thing via scheduling lower durations of charge during the other 6 days of the week at night.

@@shiro5392 Honestly I think charging schedules is now DEAD, Energy isn't uniform each day in generation and cost as the future is the charger and the energy company talking to each and controlling when the car chargers. The Ohme can know your cars SOH via cars API but not all cars supported yet. See my video on battery health with Euan with LFP feel free to always charge to 100% its totally fine and stable. Tesla are highly unlikely to send me a charger for review and from ones I've seen I don't think I would rate it well for UK market. intelligent, Agile, Ovo Aytime deals are the future of EV charging which is why I mention them on every review this takes a much more important role, I didn't go too much into hypervolt app as the one am testing on video is beta currently and apart from a reskin from old app not much has currently changed but they are promising lots of new features its unfair for me to review or talk about features that haven't happened yet. Regarding ohme app, its massively outdated and needs a huge rework BUT ohme is the charger I use personally because of intelligent octopus I may review this in future when a wider choice of EV chargers on intelligent happens but am aware ohme like many others are working on new apps

​@@NicolasRaimo That's true if you live mainland UK I guess. But as far as I know, there is no chance of octopus or an alternative coming to the Republic of Ireland any time soon and it's not even available in the north too. So I guess for me scheduling does still matter a lot. Thanks for the info regarding the ohme app. Looking into the Easeee now it seems to have the best app and is pretty good besides some issues they've had with regulations around their seemingly differently implemented Integrated earth fault protection (RCD) which I assume is the same as pen fault detection? Maybe only in the Easee One? As well as due to not implementing this is a standardized way despite it seemingly working well still, they got banned in Sweden which caused them to then have insolvency issues which have actually been solved since but caused them to cut employees. I see their latest Easee Charge Lite announced 2 months ago just doesn't even try to have RCD protection like their I guess original design but is supposedly going to be cheaper and is limited to 11KW on 3 phrase and 7.5KW on 1. Which as a result got it an EU Declaration of Conformity which I would have thought all would EV chargers would be required to have to be honest? While their Easee Charge Core will be more similar to their outgoing home/one/charge products with its own RCD protection again but maybe more focused on doing it how current standards want it done. And the Charge Core aiming to be out around now but not being so just yet, and all the aforementioned issues makes it sort of unappealing compared to other options. In additions to their new? weird Easee Equalizer load balancer which might be for smart tariffs mainly and solar but seems to also just mention general load balancing? As I'm not sure if it did or didn't before or even still does have basic load balancing that most of all other chargers bar tesla have as standard? Otherwise it seems great as you can actually seemingly get a 3rd party cable for any untethered unit that has a button to open Tesla's charge port too. On LFP. As far as I can tell there does not seem to be enough good long term data on them around. From everything going in-depth on it, having an LFP battery at 100% still degrades it at a faster rate, especially because the fact that 90-100% is actually the only time the LFP batteries voltage curve changes (hence needing to charge it to that for battery calibration unlike the NCA which constantly changes). So in my personal opinion. I would not want to be leaving my LFP battery of any kind, car or not, to basically 100% for most of each night assuming I plug it in every night, if my goal is indeed to maximize it's 2-3x longer lifespan and not just get the same out of it as NCA. So I would just do it once a week or so for range calibration and to avoid a memory effect which affects SoC on only LFP if you consistent charge it to the same percentage below 100% and don't charge to 100% much at all. Though this memory effect is seemingly solved by just starting to charge it to 100% more often again. I could be wrong on just how much an effect leaving it at 100% has, but it doesn't seem to be nothing so I would rather be safe than sorry until more long term data comes out for it for cars with LFP batteries.

If it was sponsored do you think they’d be happy with the negative comments? I saw another youtuber smash the unit and asked if I could do same and have a replacement cover they accepted risk. The bat I kinda expected to break but the repeated hitting and the axe did impress me but worth noting all UK sold charge points are meant to meet IK10 the previous version of this charger wouldn’t of met this when it’s competition did

​@@NicolasRaimo People are paid to give their honest opinions in sponsorships all the time. This didn't seem like much of a negative video to me. If you said something like "Hypervolt provided me this charger for review for free but this is not a sponsored review" that would make it clear. So I asked to clarify, that's all. As people like Artisan Electrics don't make it clear when it's a sponsored review and are dishonest about the product.

@@shiro5392 to be fair on artisan I did watch that video and he did say it was sponsorship when he was blasting it with water but he should of declared it at the start. My rule for EV charge reviews is the same with all companies they send me a charger and have zero control over the content. Am also not hear to trash any product many thought my last hypervolt review was positive but in my mind it was neutral… hypervolt thought it was negative so I think I struck a fair balance on that to get both sides. Seen sota video but he also doesn’t declare his deal with D line clips… if I do something sponsored which requires some editorial control I’ll declare its sponsored at the start of the video I owe that to you my audience… my video with Heatable for example is sponsored but they also allowed me free rain in what I said… I received payment before the video but as the sponsor deal was quite lucrative I declared them as sponsored video as I could subconscious been more positive because of that…. I have very high morals to you my audience it’s took me 7 years to build an audience am not here to run in it by selling my soul…. Same time am an advocacy channel so my videos won’t ever be negative I aim to always be neutral or positive

​@@NicolasRaimo That's fair. I have watched a good few of your videos but obviously not every single one going back years. You could declare at the start of each that whatever charger company provided the unit free of charge but that you're not getting paid for the review and that they have zero control over what you say, but it's really up to you if you want to do that every video. Maybe also even that another 100th charger is no use to you haha.
