The design-led smart charger.
Hypervolt Home 3 Pro
Hypervolt has built a strong following in the UK on the back of design and software. It is a smart, app-driven charger with tidy build quality and a distinctive lit ring. The range runs from the standard Home 3 up to the Home 3 Pro, the unit most people are searching for: a 7.4kW tethered charger with Wi-Fi control, a well-regarded app, and solar-aware charging built in (its Eco and Super Eco modes lean on spare power from your panels). Day to day it covers the essentials well: scheduling, tariff-aware charging and live energy data, wrapped in one of the better-regarded apps.

Who the Hypervolt suits
Buyers who want a polished app and a charger that looks the part on the wall, without giving up smart scheduling and tariff control.
In short: Pick the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro if you want a smart charger that looks great, has an app you will actually enjoy using, and adds solar-aware charging on top.
The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro is one of the easiest home chargers to recommend on looks and software: a well-built, IP66-rated tethered unit with a customisable light ring and an app owners genuinely rate. It handles smart-tariff scheduling well and adds proper solar-aware charging through its Eco and Super Eco modes, so it suits a design-conscious household that wants surplus solar without buying a dedicated solar charger. Buy it if the everyday experience of using the charger matters to you and you are happy with a tethered cable. Look elsewhere if you need an untethered socket, want a built-in mobile SIM for a weak-signal location, or want the deepest dynamic-tariff control, where an Ohme leads. For most NI driveways it lands as a strong, if not the cheapest, all-rounder.
What stands out
The strengths that tend to matter when people choose the Hypervolt.
Polished app
Live charging data, scheduling and usage history in an interface owners generally rate highly; one of the reasons the Home 3 Pro reviews so well.
Design and build
A compact unit with a customisable LED ring that looks deliberate on the wall rather than industrial.
Solar-aware charging
Eco and Super Eco modes can lean on spare power from your panels, so on a bright day the Home 3 Pro pulls from solar first before topping up from the grid.
Hypervolt specifications
The key numbers, verified against the manufacturer's own figures, for the single-phase model typical of NI homes.
| Charge power | 7.4kW, single-phase (230V, 32A) |
|---|---|
| Cable | Tethered Type 2, in a 5m, 7.5m or 10m length |
| Dimensions | 328 x 243 x 101 mm (H x W x D) |
| Weather rating | IP66, with an IK10 impact rating (tough end for a home unit) |
| Connectivity | Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) and Bluetooth |
| Solar charging | Yes: Eco (solar and grid) and Super Eco (solar only) modes |
| Load management | Automatic load management built in |
| Warranty | 3 years installed, extendable to 5 |
Smart features & tariffs
Solid tariff support through the app, with scheduling that targets cheap overnight rates. The Pro adds smarter energy features. It is capable here, though dedicated tariff optimisers still tend to rank Ohme first for dynamic, half-hourly plans.
EV tariffs in NI explainedSolar charging
The Home 3 Pro charges solar-aware, with Eco (solar and grid) and Super Eco (solar only) modes that lean on spare power from your panels, so on a bright day you can charge largely from what you generate. If solar surplus charging is the single most important thing, a Zappi is still the more single-minded tool, but the Home 3 Pro covers it capably alongside the design and app.
Compare with the ZappiTethered or untethered?
Tethered, with a customisable LED light ring. The cable is attached for everyday convenience; the unit is designed to be seen rather than hidden.
Electrically it makes no difference: it's a 7kW charge either way. Tethered is grab-and-go convenient; untethered keeps the wall tidy and your cable flexible. If you're unsure, note it on your quote and the installer will advise for your driveway.
Things to weigh up
No charger is right for everyone. The points below aren't dealbreakers, just the trade-offs to factor in.
- Tethered only across the range, so no untethered/socket option.
- It connects over your home Wi-Fi (with Bluetooth for local control), not a built-in mobile SIM, so make sure signal reaches the spot where it will be fitted; some rival units, like the Ohme range, carry their own 4G back-up.
Whichever charger you choose, the install must be notified to NIE Networks, which is a legal requirement in NI. Our registered installers handle that paperwork as standard. See the full cost breakdown, check your grant, or see how comparing 3 quotes works.
Hypervolt Home 3 Pro review
Our neutral assessment, drawn from the manufacturer's specifications and widely-reported owner experience. We do not sell or fit hardware, so this is a buyer's-eye view, not a sales pitch.
Home 3 Pro build and design
The Home 3 Pro is a compact tethered unit, 328mm tall, finished in white, black or space grey with a customisable lit ring that Hypervolt clearly intends you to see rather than hide. Build quality is a common talking point in its favour: an IP66, IK10 enclosure is at the tougher end for a home charger, so it copes with an exposed wall. The tethered cable comes in a 5m, 7.5m or 10m length, so reach is rarely the issue it can be with shorter leads. If you want a charger that reads as a deliberate object rather than a grey box, this is one of the few owners single out on looks.
The Hypervolt app
Software is the reason many people shortlist Hypervolt in the first place. The app handles scheduling, live charging data and usage history, and it is widely rated as one of the slicker interfaces in the category, which matters because it is the part of the charger you actually touch day to day. Over-the-air updates mean the unit gains features after it is on the wall. The trade-off is that it leans on your home Wi-Fi: there is no built-in mobile SIM, so if the charger sits in a detached garage with weak signal, that is worth checking before install.
Tariff and solar behaviour
On a smart EV tariff the Home 3 Pro schedules charging into the cheap overnight window, which is enough for most households. It does not go as deep on dynamic, half-hourly pricing as an Ohme, so committed tariff optimisers sometimes prefer that. Where the Pro earns its name is solar: Eco mode blends solar and grid, and Super Eco charges from spare panel power only, so on a bright day you can lean on what you generate. If solar surplus charging is the single most important thing a Zappi is still more single-minded, but the Home 3 Pro covers it capably alongside the design and app.
Who should skip the Home 3 Pro
Skip the Home 3 Pro if you want an untethered socket (the whole range is tethered), if you need a charger with its own mobile connection for a poor-signal spot, or if you are chasing the absolute lowest price, since you are partly paying for the design and the app. If none of those apply and you like the idea of a charger you will not mind looking at or using, it is an easy one to recommend.
