      Charging Modes

      We offer four different modes for charging: Boost, Eco, Super-Eco, and BatterySafe.

      Solar panels allow user to generate solar energy during, which can in turn allow users to charge their EV, using free and renewable energy. We offer four different modes for charging: Boost, Eco, Super-Eco, and BatterySafe.

       

      Mode: Boost

      • Boost offers the fastest rate of charge.
      • Harnessing any available power sources to offer a maximum charge at 32A: Including energy derived from home battery storage systems, or solar panels, also referred to as Grid Power Export.
      • Grid Power Export is given priority over Grid Power Import: The Hypervolt will preferentially use power exported from solar panels before drawing power from the grid. 

      If you do not have home power generation (solar, hydro, wind, etc) or a home battery system we recommend only using Boost Mode.


      Mode: Eco

      • Eco guarantees a minimum charge rate of 6A: The minimum power level required to maintain smooth charging for EV's, stabilizing the energy delivery without interruptions.
      • Designed to maximise the use of Solar Generation whilst minimising the reliance on Grid Power Import.
      • If the power generated from local sources like solar panels or home batteries exceeds the 6A threshold, the Hypervolt will use all available export energy, up to 32A to the vehicle.

      If Grid Power Export does not meet the 6A minimum, the Hypervolt will still ensures that at least 6A is delivered to the EV by using imported grid power.


      Mode: Super-Eco

      • Super-Eco is designed for charging using only home/solar generation: No energy is drawn from the grid, offering users the freedom to charge their vehicle for free using local sources, including home generated solar output and home battery storage. 

      A minimum surplus of approximately 6A, is required to activate charging: If the Grid Power Export is not sufficient, charging will not start!


      Mode: Battery-Safe

      • Battery Safe is an advanced feature that builds upon the principles of Super-Eco: Offering an extra layer of control for your EV charging system by monitoring its status and pausing the charging process if it detects that the battery is unintentionally draining. 
      • Battery Safe mode is only available on a the Home 3.0 or Home 3 Pro versions and supported on the Hypervolt app versions 6.0 or later.

      If your Hypervolt app does not have Battery Safe as an option, please contact Support as your charger may require a firmware update.
