Will this charger be compatible with my EV?

All Ocular chargers are compatible with all EVs in Australia. The tethered chargers require a type 2 socket.

All top selling EVs in Australia are a type 2 socket and will be compatible.

What are the 3 charging modes?

Fast Mode:

In this mode, the vehicle will be charged at maximum power. This power can come from a renewable energy source or the grid. If you have set a current limit on the schedule or by the electrician during installation that will determine maximum power.

Solar Assist: (Recommended Solar Mode)

This mode will charge your EV at a minimum of 6 Amps plus any excess solar produced. If solar production is low, power will be drawn from the grid. This is the preferred solar mode, particularly on cloudy days or when you have a smaller solar system. This will ensure a continuous charge plus any excess solar that your home generates.

Solar Only:

This mode charges your EV only when excess solar is produced. Please note a minimum excess of 7 Amps is required to use this mode so that the integrity of your vehicle’s battery is protected. If the solar production drops below 6 Amps the charging will pause and then restart after ~2-3 minutes of excess solar above 7 Amps.

We recommend this mode when you have a clear excess of solar power produced. Use Solar Assist when your production is low or intermittent.

How does the charger connect with my home solar system?

The system works by using CT clamps to measure the solar generation of the home and then match the charging speed to take advantage of solar rather than exporting to the grid.

This essentially allows your vehicle battery to become a solar sponge and importantly reduces your cost of charging. We help ensure your EV is charged fast, safely, and with the lowest carbon emissions.

When should I choose Fast, Solar Assist or Solar Only?

The key here is to know how much your solar is producing and when you need your car to be fully charged. The charger prioritises the home's use of excess solar first. Eg. the oven, TV, kettle and air conditioner. A negative value indicates you are exporting to the grid (excess solar) while a positive value indicates you are consuming electricity from the grid. Remember the Solar Only mode requires your home to be exporting excess solar to the grid.

Do I need solar to use the Ocular IQ Solar?

No, the hardware unit can be operated as a smart EV charger that can still schedule, record and monitor all your charging sessions. Solar modes or CTs can be connected in the future for an added cost.

What happens if I have a stationary storage home battery?

For the most part, any excess solar produced by the system will be absorbed by the battery. The Ocular IQ Solar modes work by using CT clamps to understand what you are exporting out to the grid. You may find that the home battery is absorbing most of your excess solar generated first and so what’s going out to the grid is minimal. Despite this, it’s fine to still install a charger, but you may find the Solar Assist mode best to draw a small amount from the grid/battery when no excess solar is being produced. If there is excess solar available, it can then utilise the available excess solar that the battery is not taking.
