Have had a few teething issues with it. The installers had to come back as it was exceeding the input voltage allowance - though this was probably due to interaction with the solar system rather than the unit itself. It looks great and seems to charge efficiently, though I've only used it a few times so far. The app is ok but could be more user friendly and more intuitive.
Overall happy with the charger and its associated app so far. Only complaint is that the app's scheduled charging functionality does not work as intended. Specifically, no matter which time zone you select the schedule seems to only operate based on the UK time zone setting (UTC daylight saving at the moment).
Easy to operate.
Good service
Installed on time and 'adopted' by the installer Expert Electrical with no issues. I didn't need to use the charger until months later upon delivery of a Tesla. I attempted to 'adopt' the Hypervolt Home - 2.0 which stalled. I called Hypervolt Australian finding their number online which refused to lend support stating that the charger's serial number was not supplied by them making it ineligible. The installer, Expert Electrical, were quick to send out a technician to assist but he couldn't rectify, and upon leaving said he would make further inquiries and get back to me. Meanwhile I had emailed the UK home office of Hypervolt outling the issue whereupon their reply informed me that the installer's email address was logged with Hypervolt causing my mobile's inability to 'adopt'. After Hypervolt removed the address, I could finally adopt the charger to my phone.

As of today, 24 Feb 24, the charger will not charge the car. I have sent another email the the UK stating:

"I'm happy to say that I have, with your help, adopted the app to the charger, but I notice that the app's home screen doesn't display the 'locked or unlocked' screen selection to the right of the 'Plug and Charge' icons. It's blacked out.

The charger displays 'blue' as it should, but when plugged into the tesla, 'blue' is replaced with a slow flashing 'white' and stops charging after about 30 secs. This short charge can only be achieved after turning the charger's fuse box switch off and on again.

I managed to select 'boost' which I believ bypasses solar if necessary and even disconnected the solar in the fuse box which didn't help. At least it's adopted and connected to my local wifi OK.

I've run out of ideas."

I hope they get back to me soon. 24 Feb 2024
