The Sync Energy Wall Charger 2 EVWC2T7G is a 7.4kW single-phase tethered EV charger with a 7.5m Type 2 cable. It is the fixed-lead Wi-Fi and LAN model in the Wall Charger 2 range, built for homes, workplaces and light fleet bays where the same users return to the charger regularly. The 7.5m lead gives more reach than many shorter tethered home chargers, helping where the charger position is set by the supply route rather than the exact vehicle inlet. Smart functions include Auto Solar Charging, Tariff Sense, Sync Energy app control, OCPP 1.6J connectivity and over-the-air updates. For LAMPS navigation, place it in home EV chargers, Sync Energy and related installation support pages.

Where does the 7.5m tethered lead help?

The 7.5m cable is the key buying difference for this variant. It helps where the vehicle inlet is not always close to the charger, such as wider driveways, garage side walls, staff bays and parking positions where cars may reverse in or park nose-in. A longer lead reduces the risk of specifying a neat charger position that becomes awkward in everyday use.

The tethered format is faster to use than a socketed charger because the cable is always attached. A driver parks, takes the Type 2 plug from the holster and connects the vehicle. There is no need to find a separate cable or return it to the boot after charging.

Cable management still needs to be planned. The datasheet lists a built-in cable wrap and gun holster, which should be considered during mounting. A 7.5m lead should not be left across pedestrian routes or where vehicles can run over it, so the finished cable return position is part of the install quality.

Solar charging and tariff-led operation

Auto Solar Charging allows excess solar power to be used for EV charging when the system has the required sensing and configuration. For solar homes, this makes the charger more useful than a fixed-rate AC load because the vehicle can be part of the property’s energy strategy. It is also relevant for small commercial sites where vehicles park during daytime generation.

Tariff Sense connects to UK tariffs and gives the customer a way to align charging with cost information. This matters for drivers using time-of-use tariffs, where the difference between peak and off-peak charging can affect running costs over the life of the charger. The LAMPS EV tariff guide is a useful supporting internal link for buyers comparing charging tariffs.

OCPP 1.6J connectivity means the charger can be connected to compatible charge point management platforms where required. For domestic installs, the Sync Energy app handles normal control and monitoring. For light commercial installs, OCPP support gives a route to broader oversight if the customer needs managed charging later.

Protection features installers check first

For EVWC2T7G, the Wall Charger 2 tethered datasheet lists built-in open PEN conductor protection with earth disconnection. It also lists built-in 30mA AC Type A RCD protection and 6mA DC protection. These are important installer features because they influence the upstream protective arrangement and the need for separate earthing measures.

The datasheet states that consumer unit requirements are a 40A MCB or a 30mA Type A RCD, dependent on cable type and route. The charger is Class 1 with Class 2 housing, with over-current and load protection listed. Final circuit design remains the installer’s responsibility, including cable sizing, voltage drop, isolation and routing.

A Load Management Kit is supplied with the charger. Load management helps the charger respond to site demand instead of assuming that the full 32A is always available. For related supply-side products, link the product page to EV circuit protection and use EV cabling where cable route planning needs support.

Connectivity, metering and app feedback

The Wi-Fi and LAN version uses 2.4GHz wireless networking and RJ45 Ethernet. Ethernet is a practical option where the charger is installed on a garage, external wall or position where Wi-Fi may be weak. A reliable data route supports app control, OCPP 1.6J operation and over-the-air software and firmware updates.

Bluetooth 4.2 BR/EDR and BLE is listed for commissioning, and anti-tamper detection uses two-layer protection. Local status is shown through an RGB LED and buzzer. Indicator states include standby, preparing, charging, no network, error and balancer error, which gives drivers and installers basic feedback at the charger without relying only on the app.

The internal meter is listed as 2% Class C equivalent, with an option for connection to an external RS485 Modbus meter. That can matter where usage reporting or a third-party platform needs more detailed metering. The correct metering route should be selected around the site requirements rather than added after commissioning.

Choosing between tethered and socketed Sync

Choose this tethered model where the same vehicle or group of users will charge regularly from the same bay. The cable is ready every time, and the 7.5m length gives a useful reach margin. It is a strong fit for domestic driveways, staff parking and light fleet use where the charging routine needs to be quick.

Choose the EVWC2S7G socketed Wall Charger 2 where the customer wants a cable-free wall unit and removable cable flexibility. Both versions share the same 7.4kW single-phase output, Sync Energy app control, Auto Solar Charging, Tariff Sense, IP65 housing and integrated protection. The decision is mainly about cable convenience versus wall appearance.

Choose the EVLS7MS Link where the customer wants a more discreet socket outlet with a separate metal control box. Link keeps the 7.4kW Type 2 socket approach but changes the installation style. The approved Sync Energy range page is the safest internal link until the individual product URLs are added to the allowlist.
