What the 7 kW reference establishes
The supplier describes Type 2 interface options, compact wall-mounted construction, optional pedestal installation and access-control/connectivity concepts. Exact cable lengths, networking, firmware and IP/IK ratings vary with model and commercial configuration.
- Typical planning context: home, workplace and destination parking.
- Request phase, current, connector/cable format, RCD concept and installation manual.
- Confirm RFID, app, OCPP or plug-and-charge terminology separately; they are not interchangeable.
7 kW, 11 kW or 22 kW?
Charging power depends on the installation supply, phases, circuit design, vehicle onboard charger and control settings. A single-phase 7 kW class is not a drop-in equivalent to three-phase 11 or 22 kW equipment. Local grid asymmetry rules may also matter.
- Select by intended parking duration and simultaneous vehicles.
- Calculate demand diversity and dynamic load management needs.
- Obtain detailed wiring/protection diagrams from the exact manufacturer variant.
Evidence before ordering
Obtain the model-specific type designation, installation documentation, test and conformity files, firmware functions, warranty, after-sales parts and a sample acceptance plan. EU marketability cannot be inferred from a generic CE logo.
- Specify target country and whether the charge point is publicly accessible.
- Confirm meter and payment needs where relevant.
- Check customer branding and supported languages before OEM/ODM quotation.
