Charging cable & cable dock

Elvi’s charging cable is
compatible with all types
of electric vehicles that
can handle capacities
from 3.7kW up to 22kW.
The cable dock (sold
separately, part. No.290135)
secures the cable in its
position when Elvi is not in use.
Note: Make sure to select a
charging cable/plug that is
compatible with your car.

Card reader

This is the area where you
scan your Charge Card or Key
fob. Elvi reads the data from
your card to start or stop a
charging session.

Operating system

Elvi is connected via a
built-in Dual Band WiFi
connection or via an
optional UMTS modem.
Start and stop your charging
session with your charge card,
key fob, or remotely via
the app.

Before installing the wall dock

Make sure the power line you’re using is switched off on your service panel.

Make sure that the power line to Elvi is installed on a dedicated circuit breaker
on your service panel, which is protected by an adequate RCD. MCB must be in line
with the capacity of the charging cable (3.7, 7.4, 11, 22 kW). In case the Amperage
rating of the charge cable lies above the Amperage rating of the applied protective
device (MCB), the installer / user should change the station settings in the
Hey EVBox app or via hey.evbox.com. For RCD, we advise you to use a 40A,
30mA AC type A.

Keep in mind that local regulations may be applicable and may vary depending on
your region/country of residence. The installing party must always ensure
that the station is installed according to the local regulations.

In case the values between the charging cable and protection level (MCB)
are different, the installer / user should change the station settings
in the Hey EVBox app. This difference will be signaled by
a warning in the Hey EVBox app.

Installation settings of your service panel should always be performed

by a qualied electrician.

When upgrading your charging cable to a version that is suitable for higher power
application, make sure the applied RCD and MCB in the service panel are in line with local
regulations, and are adequate for the type of installed charging cable and the amount of
power Elvi can release (3.7, 7.4, 11 or 22 kW). Switch on the power to Elvi. Check with your
installer if the selected output power from your Elvi can be supported by your local electrical
installation. The setting of your maximum available power in Hey by EVBox may need to be
adjusted to the new situation.
