The Fox ESS A Series 7kW EV Charger is a single-phase, tethered Type 2 home charge point finished in black, supplied with a 5m charging cable for straightforward reach across most driveways and carports. Delivering up to 7.3kW at 32A, it charges compatible EVs significantly faster than a domestic 3-pin socket, while its streamlined enclosure suits both wall and post mounting.
The charger connects over WiFi and Bluetooth and supports the OCPP 1.6 (JSON) and OCPP 2.0 protocols, giving installers and network operators the option to bring it onto a back-end management platform for remote monitoring, smart tariff charging and access control. Day-to-day, it can be operated by app, RFID card, or straightforward plug-and-play, making it equally suited to single-household use or managed fleet and workplace charging.
