Project EV, EV07-SE – Pro Earth Charger
If you need an efficient vehicle charging device to suit your budgeting needs, then look no further! The EVA-07S-SE Project EV Pro Earth Charger is an intelligent, single-phase untethered AC home electric vehicle charger equipped with a type-2 socket, providing you with full electrical protection, even in un-sheltered environments.
The charger unit has the additional benefit of being able to lock in your very own EV charging lead (we do not supply the lead), therefore making it a permanent fixed (tethered) unit if preferred. The benefit of this feature means you can use your own ‘after-market lead’ choosing the colour and length as appropriate. This makes the unit not only adaptable but aesthetically pleasing.
Unlike previous Project EV models, the EVA-07S-SE Pro Earth charger features built-in earthing, eliminating the need for an earthing state and streamlining the installation process, as well as saving you from costly and unsightly groundwork like holes in driveways. All with no additional purchase, further solidifying its position as the best budget-friendly vehicle charger option.
The EVA-07S-SE Pro Earth Charger has another particularly handy feature: the option for solar integration if you have a solar panel array system. This means the device can use surplus power to boost your vehicle, saving you £100+ per year through ‘Time Shift Technology’, enabling you to take full advantage of off-peak energy tariffs to charge your car. Yet another reason why this is an incredible and much-needed investment, especially given the current energy crisis.
Key features
Let’s delve further into some of the other features that make the EVA-07S-SE Pro Earth Charger such a popular household electric car charger.
Firstly, it offers charging speeds of up to 7.3 kW, adding roughly 25+ miles of range per hour! What does that mean exactly? Well, it provides 8-12 hours of charging time for your electric vehicle! This makes it a perfect choice for domestic settings, and that’s why it’s a popular choice for most households. The speed of the charging capabilities also makes for budget-friendly, convenient charging at home.
The charger comes with a FREE smart mobile monitoring app with a dynamic, otherwise known as ‘auto power’ load balancing management system.

or Google play
The app is a unique EV charging platform with a range of functionality:
- Allowing you to choose and customise charging rates
- The ability to utilise public charging capabilities
- Prioritise off-peak charging to maximise savings (including via a solar charging mode)
It also comes with a charging inventory list for one or more multiple vehicles registered, and you can securely authorise another person to use it. You can also set times for charging your car at different electricity rates with the help of time-of-use tariffs. In the case of an emergency, there is a built-in facility enabling you to override the smart EV app, which can be done remotely. Additionally, you can turn the charger on or off remotely via your smart device.
The load monitoring system within the app ensures you don’t overload the consumer unit, reducing the power consumption in line with other appliances used in your home. It is suitable for use on both Android and iOS devices.
As standard, the electric charger comes with a built-in electrical safety device, an RCD, which can be installed onto a normal circuit. This provides RCD protection to the unit by significantly reducing the risk of fatal electric shocks. This is because it’s designed to immediately switch off the supply of electricity and all live conductors in the event of electricity leaking to earth at harmful levels, or when the supply breaks between the distribution board and the EV charger, also helping to protect against fires.
Alongside its amazing capabilities, the EVA-07S-SE Pro Earth charger has a sleek and stylish modern design. This compact charger has a weight of less than 5kg and a standby consumption of less than 8W. In addition, the charging point uses a cable lock system for added security and off-peak time shifting for optimal performance. It is also extremely easy and quick to install.
With an Ingress Protection rating of IP65 and Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) approval, the charger is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water spray from all directions, making it suitable and durable for even the harshest of environments. In addition, it comes with onboard 6mA DC leakage protection, which is a mandatory protective function against faulty charging points generated by your electric car.

- It has an integrated cable locking feature, which ensures total protection.
Whilst the single phase, 4G model of the EV charger, the Project EV EVA-07S-SE-RFID-4G can be connected through 4G, keeping a reliable and robust connection to the charger.
- EVA-07S-SE-RFID-4G single phase fast AC EV Charger comes with built in Pro Earth Protection.
- Offers solar compatibility.
- It has an integrated cable locking feature, which ensures total protection.
Installation
We would recommend the Project EV 1PHM Electric Car Charging Single Meter to fully optimise your use of the Project EVA-07S-SE Pro Earth charger. It is an electrical meter, and load management unit designed to measure the power consumption in a single-phase power supply. A single-phase power supply is a two-wire phase that uses a neutral and conductor cable to distribute alternating current power to the circuit and simultaneously changes the supply voltage of the power, perfect for single phase electric vehicle charging units.
All in all, the capabilities, and features of the EVA-07S-SE Pro Earth Charger, coupled with its cost-efficiency and the advantage of money-saving off-peak energy tariffs, explains why the EVA-07S-SE Pro Earth charger is one of the most popular EV home chargers. Especially in this current climate of high energy prices and carbon emission concerns, it would be a shame to pass up on such a worthwhile investment.
