Home EV smart charging from We.EV

We.EV is rolling out fully installed smart chargers from global IoT leader Teltonika, making reliable home charging solutions accessible to EV drivers across New Zealand.

A subsidiary of WEL Networks, We.EV is “network neutral” and diversifying its charging offerings to include residential EV charging, helping balance demand on the national grid and enhancing electric fleet vehicle battery life.

Drivers of company vehicles can gain the convenience of installing the same type of charger at home that they use at work, says We.EV.  

The selection of Teltonika’s 7.4kW Teltocharge for its compact European design and reliability supports We.EV’s strategy to future-proof residential energy connections.

The smart charger’s app allows drivers to control what time to charge their EVs and whether to use grid or solar power.

It is sure to be of interest to fleet managers because the smart chargers are the same model as company car drivers will find at work, and the app-based reporting will assist companies too.  

 We.EV is making the smart charger and installation available nationwide for a limited, introductory price beginning at $1595 including GST.

The Teltocharge’s native solar integration means that drivers with home solar generation could potentially charge their car for free.

“With the introduction of fully installed Teltocharge smart chargers, We.EV is setting a new standard in home EV charging,” says We.EV product manager Sam Montgomerie.  

“Home charging is the most convenient way to charge an EV, while prolonging vehicle battery life and safeguarding the national grid as the country moves to more sustainable transport.”

Teltonika Australia chief executive Kestutis (Kes) Grauslys says the company is delighted to extend its relationship with We.EV to enable home charging at scale, providing drivers with a smart charger that’s straight forward to install, offers greater control over energy usage, and enhances the aesthetics of any home.

The Teltocharge features a swappable Accoya wood front plate and four additional colour front plates.

Teltonika devices also enable We.EV’s commercial charging operations.
