HYDRA ZODIAC

Aesthetic by design...

THE sleek and stylish HYDRA ZODIAC has been designed specifically for the UK EV home-charging market - IP65 weatherproofing to prevent dust and water ingress as well as UV protection - but it also has a commercial sibling which can take advantage of a three-phase power grid to deliver a charging output of upto 22kW.

The Hydra Zodiac is a very affordable, lower cost option for the discerning EV owner as it offers a simpler installation without the need for an additional earthing rod and can be connected directly to the main consumer unit to give 7kW of smart charging power, either with an open socket to attach the cable that came with your EV or as a tethered design which includes a 4.8m cable. (Cables are also available separately if you wish to keep one at home as well as in the boot of your car)

The RESIDENTIAL 7KW HYDRA ZODIAC can communicate with our HYDRA HOME APP to commence and monitor EV charging with times optimised to take full advantage of low-cost energy tariffs offered by some utility companies. In standby mode the power consumption is just 2w. Simple LED indicators will show the charging status of the vehicle.

The COMMERCIAL 22KW HYDRA ZODIAC can utilise a three-phase power grid more commonly found in commercial and industrial premises to charge at the higher rate of up to 22kW for those vehicles which are able to make use of it.

Both 7kW and 22kW chargers can also be installed as part of a company-wide network offering multiple charge points in one car park or even at multiple sites nationwide. Our HYDRA CLOUD monitoring and management facility gives the real-time status of each individual chargepoint as well as offering reports on peak and overall usage.

The highest possible standard of safety features are built in to every Hydra EV charger, the Zodiac benefits from over/under voltage protection, overload protection, leakage protection, over-current protection and built-in PEN detection.

Available in a range of colours, the Zodiac offers a minimalistic design while maintaining market-leading quality and longer lifespan.

Cost effective workplace charging...

THE HYDRA ECHO EV CHARGE POINT comes at a time of booming EV sales and wider use. We have designed the Hydra Echo to be durable and easy to use with a streamlined installation process for use in any commercial environment such as office, industrial park or distribution hub.

The Echo has a built in RFID card-reader which allows access to the charging functions as well as a digital screen for monitoring progress of the vehicle charge status.

Available in either 7kW or 22kW output versions, the 7KW can operate from any 32amp, 240v AC single-phase electrical supply, similar to that found in residential properties and smaller shops and offices.

The 22kW unit offers faster charging for electric vehicles which can accommodate a higher level of AC charge input and can be connected to any three-phase 400v AC supply, similar to that which can be found in larger industrial premises and office blocks.

Suitable for charging cars, vans, HGVs and other transport vehicles the HYDRA ECHO offers a very versatile, low cost installation for commercial premises.

With an eye on safety the Echo has built-in safety functions which can shut down the charger if it detects input under voltage, input over-voltage, output short-circuit, output overvoltage, output over-current, battery reverse connection, insulation detection, communica- tion failure, etc. Additionally there is an optional fail-safe emergency stop button which can be manually operated in the event of a failure.

The HYDRA ECHO EV CHARGEPOINT can be used as a single charger or as a part of an organisation’s entire EV fleet ecosystem where charging facilities are required across multiple sites.

The Echo can be paired with our unique HYDRA CLOUD or HYDRA NEXUS platforms offering complete EV charging network management and real-time monitoring of charging usage and peak demand across the whole network.

HYDRA ECHO+ Coming soon...

The Hydra Echo+ builds on the success of the original Echo. Originally designed as a no-nonsense and robust workplace EV chargepoint the Echo has been updated with a more aesthetic design but retains the 7kW or 22kW output options from a standard three-phase AC electrical supply. The Echo+ will also have the option of fitting a Contactless Payment Terminal for those installing in a public space.
