The Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 EVWC2S7G is a 7.4kW single-phase socketed EV charger with Wi-Fi and LAN connectivity. It is the base socketed 7.4kW model in the Wall Charger 2 range, using a Type 2 socket with auto-lock rather than a tethered cable. That makes it suitable for drivers who want to choose their own Type 2 cable length or serve different vehicles from one wall unit. The charger supports Auto Solar Charge using the supplied EVA120CT1 CT clamp, dynamic load balancing, full smart functionality through the app and OCPP 1.6J connectivity. Integrated open PEN conductor protection means no earth rod is required, and the unit includes built-in 30mA AC Type A RCD protection with 6mA DC detection. Variant options add 4G and RFID on separate sibling codes, so connectivity should be selected carefully at purchase.

Why choose a socketed 7.4kW charger

A socketed charger lets the driver choose the Type 2 cable that suits the vehicle and parking position. The charger provides the wall unit and socket, while the cable can be changed separately if the household later needs a different length. That can be useful where one unit is expected to serve more than one vehicle, or where a visible tethered cable is not wanted on the wall.

The EVWC2S7G delivers up to 7.4kW at 32A on a single-phase 220-240V supply. The socket has auto-lock, so the charging cable is secured during a session. The base and body are specified in black with an anthracite grey trim, and optional coloured trims are listed as accessories in the range documentation.

Solar charging and tariff control

Auto Solar Charge is supported through the supplied EVA120CT1 CT clamp. The installation guide states that one Sync Energy CT clamp is supplied in the box for load balancing and the Auto Solar Charge feature. The clamp is fitted around the incoming live conductor before tails are split, allowing the charger setup to use the correct measured input during configuration.

Tariff Sense is listed for the Wall Charger 2 socketed range and is described as connecting to any UK tariff to give real-time insight and control over charging costs. The charger also supports full smart functionality via the app and OCPP 1.6J connectivity. For customers comparing domestic charge points, this places the unit within LAMPS home EV chargers with solar-aware and tariff-aware control rather than simple plug-in charging only.

Protection and installation requirements

The socketed Wall Charger 2 includes integrated open PEN conductor protection, so an earth rod is not required. It also has built-in 30mA AC Type A RCD protection with 6mA DC protection. Those integrated protection features are important for installers because they affect the upstream protection design and reduce the need for separate hardware when the installation route permits.

The installation guide states that the EV charger is suitable for a single-phase 220-240V nominal AC supply for up to 7.4kW charging and that the supply should run from a dedicated 40A circuit breaker. Power connectors are suitable for 4-10mm² cable sizes. Rear cable entry is suitable for a 25mm hole size, while base cable entry is suitable for 16-32mm hole size. Final electrical testing must be completed by a competent electrical installer before charger commissioning and network setup.

Connectivity variants on this page

The EVWC2S7G variant has Wi-Fi and LAN connectivity. EVWC2S7GG keeps the same 7.4kW single-phase Type 2 socketed charging specification and adds 4G. EVWC2S7GGR adds both 4G and RFID, and the installation guide states that one RFID key fob is supplied with that RFID variant only. These differences are important because they change access and connection resilience rather than charging power.

Choose Wi-Fi and LAN where the charger location has reliable local networking. Choose the 4G version where mobile data is required for the installation plan. Choose the 4G and RFID version where local RFID authorisation is needed. The 7.4kW output, socketed Type 2 format, open PEN protection and built-in RCD protection remain the shared specification across these three single-phase socketed siblings.

Load balancing for one charger or many

For a single charger, the supplied CT clamp supports dynamic load balancing and Auto Solar Charge. The installer enters the correct maximum load during setup, and the CT reading can be checked to confirm that the clamp is fitted correctly. This helps the charger respond to site load rather than operating as an unmanaged fixed demand.

For load management across more than one charger, the installation guide directs installers to the Sync Energy EV Balancer. A balancer hub can dynamically manage compatible chargers across a site, which is a different requirement from the single supplied CT clamp used with one charger. For accessory planning, use LAMPS EV ancillaries and the EV charger installation guide.
