The Rolec EVO ROLEC5013 is a 22kW three-phase AC EV charger with a universal Type 2 socket, 400V AC 50/60Hz supply requirement and IP54 rated Daytona Grey enclosure. This variant is intended for three-phase homes, workplaces, fleet parking and light commercial sites where the electrical supply and vehicle onboard charger can support faster AC charging than a 7.4kW single-phase unit. It differs from ROLEC5011 by adding three-phase 22kW output, 4G LTE Cat-1 connectivity and three-to-single-phase switching.

• Maximum output: 22kW at 32A, adjustable from 6A where the supply is limited
• Nominal voltage: 400V AC ±10%, three phase, 50/60Hz
• Connection format: universal Type 2 charging socket with cable lock
• Connectivity: 4G LTE Cat-1 with built-in nano SIM, Wi-Fi 6 2.4GHz, RJ45 Ethernet, RFID, BLE 5.0 and OCPP 1.6J
• Protection: AC 30mA Type A residual current protection, DC 6mA detection, PME fault detection, surge and over-temperature protection
• Dimensions: 260mm x 260mm x 112mm, less than 3kg, Daytona Grey PC/ABS alloy housing
• Compliance: UK Smart Charge Point Regulations, EN IEC 61851-1:2019, EN IEC 61851-21-2:2021, UKCA and CE for the 22kW model

How does the EVO 22kW handle access?

ROLEC5013 supports plug and go, ROLEC EVO app control and RFID access, with two EVO RFID cards included. This gives a site operator a simple way to allow authorised charging without making every user rely on the app.

The EVO app supports scheduled charging, charging state, multi-user access, usage analytics, fault notifications and security alerts. Charge Now provides maximum charging when required, ECO combines solar by day with scheduled grid charging, and ECO+ is designed for surplus solar charging only.

For managed workplace or fleet use, OCPP 1.6J allows connection to compatible chargepoint management systems. Any named tariff, back-office or payment platform should be verified separately before adding it to the page, as compatibility can change.

Why specify the 22kW untethered model?

The untethered format lets the site select a separate Type 2 cable around the vehicle mix and bay layout. A three-phase cable is required to make use of the 22kW capability where the vehicle also supports that charging rate. Vehicles with a lower onboard AC charger will charge at their own maximum AC rate rather than automatically taking 22kW.

ROLEC5013 is the correct EVO choice where a three-phase supply is available and the customer wants a compact wall unit rather than a fixed tethered lead. The charger is IP54 rated for ingress protection, IK10 rated for impact protection and suitable for wall or post mounting.

The 22kW model also supports three-to-single-phase switching, which is specific to this variant. For wider site projects, see our commercial EV chargers.

What must be allowed for on installation?

The three-phase model requires a supply up to 32A three phase at 400V AC ±10%. The installer must confirm the available capacity, cable route, protective device selection, earthing arrangement and whether surge protection is required for the site.

Rolec specifies that a suitably rated MCB or 30mA Type A RCBO is to be installed at source, dependent on the cable type and route. Cable terminals for the three-phase version are listed as 6 x 50mm for E, N, 3P and PE, so the installer should check the intended cable and gland arrangement before installation.

Automatic dynamic load balancing is supported, but the three-phase EVO requires an optional CT kit. Use ACSR5013 for three-phase load balancing or ACSR5014 where both three-phase solar and load balancing CT functionality is required.
