The Fox 7kW L Series EV Charger 1PH (Part No: FE-EV-L07PMC) is the commercial-specification variant of Fox ESS's L Series wallbox, supplied with a 5-metre tethered Type 2 cable. Built on the same 7.3kW single-phase hardware platform as the standard L07P, the L07PMC adds the connectivity and authentication layer that fleet operators, workplaces and pay-per-use sites need: an integrated RFID card reader, full OCPP 1.6 JSON / 2.0.1 compliance for charge point management back-offices, and a wired Ethernet (LAN) connection for a stable commercial network link alongside WiFi and Bluetooth.

Qualified Electrician Required
EV charge point installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician registered with an approved competent persons scheme (e.g. NICEIC, NAPIT) in accordance with BS 7671 and the IET Code of Practice for EV charging equipment installation. An external RCCB is required in addition to the unit's internal 6mA DC residual current detection.
Single-Phase Supply Only
The L07PMC is a single-phase (1P+N+PE) charger rated at 230V ±20%, 32A maximum. Confirm the property has adequate single-phase capacity available before specifying — sites requiring three-phase 11kW charging should be directed to the Fox L11P.
Built for Back-Office Management
Unlike the standard residential L07P, the PMC ('Plug, Mode-3, Commercial') variant is configured for commercial charge point operation: RFID card authentication controls who can start a session, OCPP integration lets a central management platform monitor, bill and remotely manage the charger, and the wired LAN port gives a more reliable connection than WiFi alone for sites with multiple charge points.
Why It Performs
RFID Card Authentication
Integrated Mifare ISO/IEC 14443 A reader restricts charging to authorised cards or fobs — essential for shared bays, workplace charging or pay-per-use commercial sites.
OCPP 1.6 / 2.0.1 Compliant
Open OCPP 1.6 JSON or 2.0.1 compliance with an open Modbus interface allows the charger to be managed, monitored and billed through any compatible charge point management system (CPMS).
Wired LAN for Commercial Reliability
A dedicated Ethernet (RJ45) port supplements WiFi (2.4GHz) and Bluetooth, giving commercial sites a stable, interference-free connection to the back-office platform.
Solar Linkage & Dynamic Load Balancing
When paired with a Fox ESS hybrid inverter, the charger can prioritise surplus PV generation for EV charging, while dynamic load balancing automatically reduces charging power to protect the site's incoming supply capacity.
Outdoor-Rated, Impact-Resistant Housing
Rated IP55 for dust and water ingress and IK08 for impact resistance, suitable for permanent wall or post-mount installation in exposed commercial locations.
Flexible Cable Entry & Mounting
Supports both bottom and back cable entry for flexible first-fix wiring, with wall-mount or post-mount installation options to suit car park or forecourt layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 'PMC' in L07PMC mean?
It denotes the commercial-specification variant of the L07 platform — the same 7.3kW single-phase charging hardware as the standard L07P, with RFID authentication, OCPP 1.6/2.0.1 back-office compliance and a wired LAN connection added for commercial charge point deployment.
Can this charger be used on a domestic driveway?
Yes — the underlying hardware is identical to the residential L07P. The PMC's RFID and OCPP features simply aren't required for a single domestic vehicle, but they don't prevent residential use; some installers specify the PMC variant for shared driveways or HMOs where access control is useful.
Does this charger work with solar panels if I don't have a Fox ESS inverter?
Solar-linked charging works natively when paired with a Fox ESS hybrid inverter. With a different inverter brand, a Fox Smart Meter can be fitted in the distribution board to provide the generation/consumption data the charger needs for solar-excess charging.
Is a separate RCD required, or is one built in?
The unit includes an internal 6mA DC residual current detection (RCD-DD) meeting IEC 62955, but Fox ESS specifies that an external RCCB is still required at the distribution board in line with BS 7671.
What charge point management platforms is the L07PMC compatible with?
Any platform supporting OCPP 1.6 JSON or OCPP 2.0.1 can manage, monitor and bill sessions on the L07PMC, alongside an open Modbus interface for direct integration.
Can charging power be reduced automatically to protect the site's supply?
Yes — dynamic load balancing continuously monitors site electricity demand and automatically reduces the charger's output to avoid overloading the incoming supply.
