The evec EDW02 is a dual-socket 22kW wall-mounted commercial EV charger for three-phase sites that need faster shared AC charging from an existing wall position.

Not every commercial site wants to jump from slow AC charging straight to rapid DC. Many workplaces, hotels, apartment blocks and fleet locations simply need more energy moved into vehicles during a working day, while still keeping the installation neat, scalable and easier to place around existing walls. EDW02 answers that need with two Type 2 sockets, 22kW charging, OCPP-ready communications and commercial access control. The wall-mounted format is important because it avoids the extra groundwork of a pedestal where a suitable wall already exists. PAS 1899 alignment, app control, RFID and dynamic load balancing also make it relevant to public-facing and managed private sites that need more than a high power figure on a datasheet.

Two 22kW sockets for busy shared bays

EDW02 is aimed at sites where the charger has to do more work across the day. evec positions it as a dual-socket 22kW wall charger for shared charging spaces, and the product page states that it can charge two EVs at full 22kW simultaneously. That makes it a more serious option for business premises, hotels, apartment sites and service yards where drivers may only dwell for part of the day and still need meaningful energy added. In practical terms, it gives a site a middle ground between slower AC wall boxes and the larger cost step associated with DC rapid hardware. For projects browsing commercial EV chargers, it is the high-output wall option in the vecSPRINT range.

PAS 1899 access and visible wall charging

Accessibility and visibility are not add-ons here. evec states that the socket positions are designed in accordance with PAS 1899 when the charger is installed at the specified height, which is useful for sites planning inclusive parking from the outset. The 4.3-inch LCD screen and integrated light strip also help with legibility and status visibility in covered car parks, hotel parking and evening-use commercial settings. Those details matter because user friction on shared chargers usually starts with simple things such as finding the socket, understanding the display and knowing whether the bay is charging or available. EDW02 therefore offers more than power. It supports a more intelligible shared-bay experience for both operators and drivers.

4G, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and OCPP back-office control

High-output shared charging only works properly when the control layer is considered at the same time as the hardware. EDW02 supports 4G, Wi-Fi and Ethernet communications plus OCPP 1.6J, giving operators options for backend management, monitoring and monetisation. evec also lists plug and play, RFID, app control and smartphone-led pay-to-charge journeys through backend partners such as Monta. That means the same hardware can be used in different ways depending on the site. A depot may want staff-only RFID access, a hotel may want guest charging with simple activation, and a landlord may want paid resident or visitor access. That flexibility helps protect the investment because the usage model can change without forcing a complete hardware replacement.

Three-phase load balancing and supply planning

Once a charger moves into the 22kW commercial space, supply management becomes central to the specification. EDW02 supports dynamic load balancing, which helps allocate available power more intelligently across active chargers rather than building everything around worst-case simultaneous demand. The wall-charger datasheet also notes that evec’s dynamic load balancing kit is available across its AC range and that matched models should be used within the same DLB setup. For designers, that matters because it turns EDW02 from a standalone high-output wall box into something that can sit within a larger coordinated charging plan. Where the property already has three-phase infrastructure but limited spare capacity, controlled charging can be just as important as nominal output.

PEN protection, IK10 housing and IP55 build

Commercial wall charging has to survive weather exposure, repeated use and the occasional knock from poor parking or trolley traffic. EDW02 includes three-phase PEN fault detection, AC 30mA and DC 6mA leakage protection, over-current protection and CE/UKCA certification to EN IEC 61851 and EN 62196. The housing is a galvanised powder-coated metal enclosure with IP55 weather protection and IK10 impact resistance. Those details are important because high-turnover charging equipment lives a much harder life than a private domestic wall box. The goal is not only to deliver 22kW, but to keep doing it in a shared outdoor environment where reliability, physical toughness and electrical protection all directly affect operating costs and user confidence.

Wall mounting instead of a dual pedestal

The wall-mounted format is a major part of the buying case. EDW02 ships with wall brackets and is listed at 580 x 390 x 130mm, which makes it easier to plan around service walls, retaining structures and parking-deck edges. For many sites, this reduces installation disruption compared with creating a freestanding island position. Cable routes can often remain closer to the building fabric and the charging equipment stays out of the main circulation path. That can make the overall scheme tidier and less vulnerable to vehicle contact. Buyers already scoping EV charger installation often choose a wall unit like this where the building geometry already supports the charger location and a pedestal would add cost without adding real user benefit.

RFID, pay-to-charge and higher-turnover use

EDW02 is not only about faster AC charging. It is about turning that power into something manageable on a live site. RFID as standard, app control, OCPP backend compatibility and support for optional payment options such as Payter or vecPAY make the unit easier to deploy in semi-public and public-facing contexts. Faster chargers attract more use, so site rules and payment logic matter more, not less. A hotel may want guests to pay, a workplace may want access restricted to approved staff, and a mixed-use site may want one tariff for fleet vehicles and another for public sessions. EDW02 gives operators a route to those models while keeping the hardware anchored to a straightforward wall-mounted form.

Choosing EDW02, EDW01 and pedestal models

Choose EDW02 when the site has three-phase supply, wants dual sockets and needs quicker energy delivery than a 7.4kW wall platform can usually offer. EDW01 remains the better fit for single-phase sites or lower-demand shared charging. A pedestal version still makes more sense where no suitable wall exists beside the bays, or where the charger needs to sit out in the centre of a parking area. In practical terms, EDW02 is for commercial locations that want 22kW performance without stepping into DC hardware and without taking on the extra groundwork of a pedestal. It is a strong match for high-turnover AC charging on sites that already have the right electrical infrastructure.
