The Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 Tethered is a smart 7.4kW home EV charger designed for drivers who want straightforward charging, strong built-in protection and useful energy features without overcomplicating the install. Compatible with Type 2 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, it is supplied with a 7.5m tethered charging cable and is available in two versions: EVWC2T7G-02 with Wi-Fi and Ethernet, or EVWC2T7GG-02 with Wi-Fi, Ethernet and integrated 4G connectivity.
For most homes, this gives you a solid single-phase charger with the main features people actually want: smart scheduling, solar charging support, dynamic load management and built-in safety protection. If broadband coverage is unreliable where the charger is being fitted, the 4G model gives you another connection option without changing the core hardware specification.
EVWC2T7G-02: Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity.
EVWC2T7GG-02: Wi-Fi, Ethernet and integrated 4G connectivity, with Sync Energy stating that 4G data is supplied for three years before top-ups are required.
The Wall Charger 2 Tethered delivers up to 7.4kW on a single-phase supply, with user-configurable current from 6A to 32A. That makes it well suited to overnight home charging while also allowing installers to set the charger appropriately for the property and supply conditions.
Sync Energy also includes Auto Solar Charging and Tariff Sense, which are two of the stronger practical selling points here. Auto Solar Charging allows the charger to make use of surplus solar generation, while Tariff Sense is designed to help align charging with UK electricity tariffs for lower-cost scheduling.
This version is supplied with a 7.5m tethered lead and Type 2 connector, which gives a decent amount of reach for many driveway and side-of-house parking arrangements. The charger includes an integrated cable wrap and holster, helping keep the cable tidier when not in use.
The Wall Charger 2 Tethered comes with a CT clamp and load-management kit as standard. That allows the charger to balance EV charging demand against the rest of the property load, helping reduce the risk of overloading the installation and making it easier to manage charging alongside other electrical demand in the home.
From an installation point of view, one of the stronger advantages here is the amount of protection built into the charger. The unit includes a 30mA Type A RCD with 6mA DC leakage detection, along with built-in open PEN conductor protection, which means a separate earth rod is typically not required. Sync Energy also lists over-current, fault and PEN fault protection as integrated features.
That makes this a practical option for homeowners who want a smart charger with solid built-in protection, rather than adding extra complication through external components where they are not needed.
The charger is housed in a UV-stabilised polycarbonate enclosure with IP65 weather protection and IK10 impact resistance, so it is built for outdoor installation. Sync Energy also supports smart charging through its app using OCPP 1.6J, with over-the-air firmware updates and status indication through an LED and buzzer.
For most domestic buyers, that means a charger that covers the basics properly: remote control, scheduling, load balancing, solar support and clear operating status without drifting into gimmicks.
This charger is a strong fit for homeowners who want:
If you want a practical smart home charger with strong protection, decent cable reach and proper energy-management features, the Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 Tethered is a solid option.
