Does the Alpha7 need WiFi?

No, it is optional.  The Alpha7 can use a simple BlueTooth connection to your mobile device, fulfilling the Smart Charge Point Regulations 2021.  WiFi and EtherNet connections are available and an optional part of the installation.  The Alpha7 is simple, straightforward, and reliable.

Does the Alpha7 need a network connection?

No, the Alpha7 does not have extra components inside that it does not need; components that would make it less reliable and more expensive.  The Alpha7 uses a simple BlueTooth connection to your mobile device, fulfilling the Smart Charge Point Regulations 2021.  The Alpha7 is simple, straightforward, and reliable.

Which cars will work with the Alpha7?

The Alpha7 is compatible with all EVs.

Note that some cars (Pre-2014) from Japan and South Korea (eg Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, andf Kia Soul) require a type 1 cable and need to use a socketed charger.

How long does it take to charge?

We get asked this question a lot.  The short answer is that it depends on how big and how empty your battery is when you plug in.  

Battery sizes range from 12 to 120kWh: a big difference.  Some cars use less than half the electric than others: a big difference!  A good way to think is “how much range do I get for each hr of charge?”  Tesla 3 (34miles), Mini-E & Renault 5 (30miles), VW ID3 (26miles), Volvo XC40 (22miles), Jaguar I-Pace (20miles), Mercedes G580 (15miles).  

For a full charge: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (13.8kWh: 2hrs), Mini-electric (35kWh: 5hrs), Renault 5 (52kWh: 7hrs), Tesla 3 (75kWh: 10hrs), Jaguar I-Pace (85kWh: 12hrs), Mercedes EQS 450+ (108kWh: 15hrs).  An 8hr FastAmps charge will give 160 to 270 miles of range: more than enough for almost any situation.

How much does it cost to charge my car with the Alpha7?

This very much depends on the price of electricity and the EV that you own.  At the current average price of 30p/kWh, to charge the average car battery (62kWh) from empty to full (an average of 200 miles of range) would cost around £18. 

Switching to a specialised EV tariff (eg EOn Next Drive / British Gas Electric Driver or Octopus Intelligent Go) could reduce the unit cost to less than 6.5p/kWh overnight.  The integration of solar panels can reduce the cost still further.
