ZJ Beny AC EV Charger

Overview

The HCM entry covers BENY's 7.4 kW single-phase BCP smart and OCPP charger family rather than one unambiguous Australian SKU. BENY documents 32 A operation and IP65 protection for tethered versions. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, app control, OCPP 1.6J and dynamic load balancing vary by model or option. Dynamic load balancing requires additional BENY hardware. Manufacturer documentation includes both 5 m and 6 m tethered versions, so the exact supplied cable and feature set should be confirmed before purchase.

Using this charger at home in Australia

On a suitable installation, this charger can provide up to 7.4 kW. Actual charging speed also depends on the vehicle's onboard AC charging limit and the configured site capacity.

Where the charger and required monitoring equipment support solar-aware charging, the system can adjust EV charging in response to available solar generation. The exact behaviour depends on the charger, metering or sensors, inverter setup and configuration.

OCPP support allows the charger to communicate with compatible OCPP charging-management platforms. OCPP support by itself does not guarantee integration with a home battery, solar inverter, electricity tariff or every third-party platform.

The manufacturer lists an IP65 enclosure rating for this charger. The final mounting location should follow the manufacturer's installation requirements and be confirmed by the installer.

A dedicated home EV charger should be installed by a licensed electrician. The installer should confirm the circuit design, switchboard capacity, protection requirements and any applicable local electricity-network requirements.
