INCH Pro Public EV Charge Station (with Load Guard)
INCH Pro Public EV Charge Station (with Load Guard)
The Etrel INCH Pro is one of the smartest EV chargers on the market. If you are looking to charge multiple EVs at once, this is the charger you need.
The INCH PRO charger is perfect for public charging or private EV fleet charging.
If you want to charge multiple EVs (without undertaking expensive electrical upgrades), collect payments from users or monitor your own fleet’s power consumption, the INCH Pro Smart Charger has you covered.
The Etrel INCH Pro electric vehicle charger is packed full of smart features.
Features:
Delivering up to 22kW of power on three phase power (or up to 7.4kW on single-phase power).
Advanced load control. Charging multiple cars can put strain on your building’s power and your fuse board. A seperate Load Guard sensor is installed on the building‘s fuse board where it measures the electrical currents and sends real-time data to the charging station. The charging stations can respond to this data and increase or decrease the power provided to EVs. This prevents overloading your building’s fuse board, avoiding power fuse trips and costly electrical upgrades. Read more here.
Clustering. You can cluster up to 15 INCH Pro units together to share the available energy and assign charging priority to users who need it most. One unit will be assigned as the master charger, and they will talk over a local area network.
Scale with demand. Thanks to the power management features in this charger, you can add more charge points at a later point without needing to perform expensive electrical upgrades to your power boards, which can otherwise cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Several connectivity options. With a variety of connectivity options including SIM card, Ethernet and PLC (power lines communications) this charger can be seamlessly integrated into your smart building management system. (WiFi available on special order)
A variety of access options can be set to either:
Free access enabling users to simply plug in and charge (suitable for free public chargers or when chargers are in a secure garage)
Require a PIN code or RFID tag to unlock the charger (suitable for semi-public locations where you want to restrict access)
Require users to pay via the Thundergrid billing platform. Charge station billing services are available via our billing platform, Thundergrid.net
Customise your settings via the web interface. Access in-depth insights into your charging, set charging guidelines and power limits for smart, cost-efficient charging. Read more here.
User and charge session data: Monitor charge session reports and bill users for the time or energy consumed or sign up to Thundergrid for a fully automated billing service. This is ideal for fleets and internal department cost centres, apartment body corps and more.
Designed to last. Unlike most plastic-cased chargers on the market, this charger has a solid aluminium water-resistant housing and is prepared for the toughest outdoor environments (certified IP54 standard). It also includes a shatter proof acrylic glass plate, plus an extended product warranty.
Future-focused. With open protocol software (OCPP) this charger can be seamlessly integrated into your building and can be linked to future charging platforms. As more EVs hit the road, our national power supply will be impacted. This charger can be linked in the future to the national grid to respond to tariffs and the supply of greener energy.
Built-in electrical safety protection. With a built in RCD Type A and DC leakage detection sensor, there is no need for an external RCD Type B device to be installed on your fuse board. This greatly reduces install time and costs (a dedicated external RCD Type B can cost between $300- $500 extra per charger).
Applications:
Commercial buildings and fleets where a number of chargers are required and load management is essential
Apartment complexes which require billing for power and cost recovery
Hospitality / Retail
Carparks
Government and Councils

*You will need a Type 1 to Type 2 or Type 2 to Type 2 charge cable to use with this charge station. We do not supply tethered cables as this ensures maximum accessibility to all users, future proofs your charger and allows various EVs with both Type 1 or Type 2 charging ports to use this station. If this charger is installed inside a secure garage, you can leave the cable attached to this charge station.
