You can easily monitor and schedule your charging through the EO app, saving money by using cheaper energy times or solar power. The charger offers good safety features and flexible installation options, meaning it fits well in most home setups.

With strong connectivity options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet and optional 4G, you stay connected no matter where you are. The EO Mini Pro 3 gives you peace of mind with its durable build and a good warranty to back it up.

Why Choose the EO Mini Pro 3

If you want a reliable home charger for electric vehicles that fits your daily needs, the EO Mini Pro 3 offers a range of useful features. It is designed with practical use, space-saving design, and broad vehicle compatibility in mind. These points make it a solid choice for electric car owners.

Designed for Everyday Electric Vehicle Drivers

The EO Mini Pro 3 was created with everyday EV drivers like you in mind. The charger supports both single phase (with power output up to 7.2kW) and three phase (with power output up to 22kW) electrical supplies, offering flexible charging options. Its power output varies depending on the phase configuration, making it suitable for different home electrical setups. It offers a fast charging speed of 7.2kW, ideal for overnight charging. This means your electric car will be ready when you need it without long wait times.

You can control and monitor the charger easily with the EO smartphone app. The app lets you start or stop charging sessions and check your energy use and charging history from anywhere. It also includes power balancing, which helps prevent overloading your home’s electrical system.

This charger supports solar power through included CT clamps. If you have solar panels, you can use green energy to charge your car, reducing your carbon footprint and energy bills.

Compact and Stylish Home Charging Solution

The EO Mini Pro 3 has a compact design that is about the size of an A5 notepad (230mm x 151mm x 125mm). This small size means it won’t take up much space on your wall or garage, keeping your home neat and tidy.

Its simple yet modern look fits well in any home setting. The unit is designed to be both functional and attractive, so it doesn’t look out of place. The charger is also built to high standards, being IP54 or IP56 certified, depending on the model you choose, which offers good protection against dust and water.

With the included cable holster, you can keep the charging cable organised and secure, ensuring your home EV charging space stays clean and user-friendly.

Compatibility with Modern Electric Cars

The EO Mini Pro 3 works with all electric cars that use a Type 2 charging plug. This covers almost every electric car available in the UK, making it a highly versatile choice for your home.

You can choose between tethered or untethered models. A tethered version with an integrated charging cable is available for added convenience, while the untethered version allows you to use your own Type 2 cable. This flexibility means you can pick the option that best suits how you want to charge your electric car.

Its smart features also integrate with other home energy solutions, including Hive, allowing you to schedule charging during cheaper or greener times. This helps you save money and be more eco-friendly.

The EO Mini Pro 3 is a new charger model with improved features, enhanced durability, and a user-friendly setup.

Core Features and Smart Capabilities

The EO Mini Pro 3 is one of the latest smart charge points, fully compliant with current smart charging regulations and offering advanced app-based control for preset tariffs and off-peak charging. It is designed to work efficiently with your home’s electrical system while offering flexible control over your car’s charging. Its smart tech helps prevent overloads, ensures safety through built-in components, and manages power use to fit your home’s needs and energy availability.

Power Balancing to Prevent Overload

You won’t need to worry about overloading your home’s electrical supply when charging your car. The EO Mini Pro 3 includes power balancing technology that adjusts the charging rate in real time. This means if other appliances in your home are drawing a lot of power, your charger will reduce its output to avoid tripping your main breaker. Dynamic load management also helps prevent energy blackouts by automatically adjusting the charger’s output to maintain electrical stability in your home.

This feature helps protect your household wiring and keeps your energy use stable. It is especially useful if you have a smaller or older electrical system. By managing the load carefully, the charger ensures safe and continuous charging without causing disruptions or the need for expensive electrical upgrades.

Built-in PME for Simplified Safety

The EO Mini Pro 3 comes with a built-in PME (Protective Multiple Earth). This component adds an extra layer of safety by improving earth fault detection and protection.

Having PME integrated means you don’t have to install an external earth fault detector, saving on both time and installation costs. The built-in PME protection also removes the need for traditional earth rods, simplifying installation and enhancing safety. It also ensures compliance with the latest UK electrical regulations, providing peace of mind that your charger is safe to use at home.

This safety feature is key in preventing electrical faults that could lead to shocks or fires, making your charging experience more secure.

Dynamic Load Management Options

Your charger includes smart dynamic load management, meaning it can adapt to your home’s available power. Using sensors like a CT clamp, it monitors how much energy is being used by your household and solar panels for accurate solar matching functionality. For even more precise solar integration, you can add an additional CT clamp to further optimise the performance of your solar charging system.

You can set the charger to only use surplus energy from solar panels, reducing your reliance on grid electricity. Load management also means the charger can balance energy use between your car and home appliances to avoid overloading circuits.

This flexibility helps you make the most of your energy supply, potentially lowering electricity bills and making your charging greener by prioritising renewable energy.

Connectivity and Integration Options

The EO Mini Pro 3 offers several ways to stay connected and manage your charging remotely. You can use built-in wireless and wired connections, with optional upgrades for mobile network access. For users with limited internet access, 4G cellular connectivity is available as an alternative to standard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet options. Its compatibility with communication protocols also supports more advanced use cases like fleet management.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity

Your EO Mini Pro 3 comes with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as standard. Wi-Fi lets you connect the charger to your home network, enabling control and monitoring through the EO Smart Home app.

Bluetooth provides a direct, short-range link. This is useful when setting up the charger or managing it without needing internet access. Both connections support features like scheduling charges, checking status, and locking the unit remotely.

These wireless options make controlling your charger easy and convenient. They also allow you to receive updates and monitor energy use from anywhere within Wi-Fi range.

Cat 5 Ethernet Support

If your home or workplace has a wired network, you can connect your EO Mini Pro 3 using Cat 5 Ethernet cable. This ensures a stable internet connection with less risk of interruptions compared to Wi-Fi.

Using Ethernet is beneficial in areas where wireless signals are weak or unreliable. It supports consistent communication between the charger and your app or cloud services, improving overall performance.

This wired option suits users who want a robust and secure network link for their charger, particularly useful in environments with heavy data demands or many wireless devices.

4G Cellular Connectivity as an Upgrade

For locations without reliable Wi-Fi or Ethernet, EO offers 4G cellular connectivity as an optional extra. This means your charger can connect to the internet through a mobile network SIM card.

You get remote management features without needing a fixed internet line. This upgrade suits homes or sites in rural areas or spaces where running cables would be difficult.

Using 4G means you can still monitor charging, schedule sessions, and receive notifications through the app. Keep in mind that this option comes at an added cost and may require a mobile data plan.

OCPP Compatibility

Your EO Mini Pro 3 supports OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) version 1.6J. This is a communication standard used widely across the EV charging industry to allow interoperability between chargers and management systems.

OCPP compatibility means you can integrate your charger with third-party software or fleet management platforms. This is especially valuable if you manage multiple chargers or work with charging networks.

It offers you flexibility to track use, billing, and status remotely through a central dashboard. For home users, this may not be essential, but it adds professional-grade functionality if required.

Flexible Charging Setups

The EO Mini Pro 3 offers flexible installation options, as it can be wall mounted or post mounted to suit various charging setups. For post mounted installation, an additional backplate is required. This versatility allows the charger to be installed in either indoor or outdoor environments, thanks to its weather-resistant design. Each option suits different user preferences and installation needs. You can choose the one that fits your setup best, whether you want a simple plug-in socket or a permanently attached cable.

Universal Type 2 Socket Availability

The EO Mini Pro 3 with a Type 2 socket provides flexibility because you can use any compatible charging cable, including an EO cable, which is available as an optional accessory in various lengths. This is ideal if you want to use your own cable length or want to swap cables between vehicles easily. For greater charging reach, you can choose a longer cable, such as a 7.5m or 10m EO cable.

The socket version is weather-resistant with an IP54 rating, so it’s safe to use outside. Its compact design keeps it neat on your wall or post. This option suits households where users might share the charger or have multiple electric vehicles with different cables.

You plug your own Type 2 cable directly into the charger and then into your car. This setup gives you control over cable management and lets you easily replace cables if they get damaged or if your car changes.

Type 2 Tethered Cable Versions

If you prefer a ready-to-use solution, the EO Mini Pro 3 also comes as a tethered unit. This means the Type 2 cable is permanently attached to the charger. It’s available in different lengths, typically 5m, 7.5m, or 10m, letting you pick the best size for your parking space.

The tethered model offers a higher weather resistance with an IP56 rating, making it durable for outdoor use. With the cable fixed, it’s simpler and quicker to plug your car in, which many find more convenient for daily use.

This version reduces clutter since you don’t need to store or handle separate cables. It’s a practical choice if you want a neat, efficient charger without worrying about managing cables separately.

Installation Process and Safety Certifications

When you choose the EO Mini Pro 3, you get a home EV charger that is installed by skilled professionals. A standard installation includes a remote home check and basic equipment, providing a straightforward and commonly suitable setup for most properties. If additional work is required beyond the standard install, any extra costs will be clearly communicated in your quote before proceeding. The charger meets strict safety standards and is built to withstand tough weather, making it a reliable choice for your property.

You can also review your charging history and installation details through the smartphone app.

The EO Mini Pro 3 is IP54 certified, so it is fully protected against dust and water splashes. This rating makes it suitable for outdoor installation, including exposed garden walls and outdoor garages.

It can operate in temperatures as low as -25°C, so you can count on it in cold winters. This weatherproof feature ensures your EV charger remains reliable all year round without damage.

The robust enclosure prevents water and dirt from affecting the internal parts. This protection helps maintain the charger’s performance and longevity, giving you a durable home EV charger solution.

User Experience and Ongoing Support

The EO Mini Pro 3 offers smart features that make charging your electric vehicle simple and efficient. It can be integrated with Hive EV Charging and managed through the Hive app, allowing for seamless smart home control, scheduling, and monitoring of your charger alongside other Hive devices. Its management tools give you clear control over your charging times and energy use.

To access certain features, such as FreeCharge mode, which reimburses charging costs when enabled, you may need a compatible energy tariff. Plus, you have reliable support in place to keep your charger running smoothly.

Control via Smartphone App

You manage the EO Mini Pro 3 easily through the EO app, which lets you set charging schedules to fit your daily routine. This helps you charge when electricity is cheaper or when it’s best for your vehicle. You can also monitor how much energy you use and keep track of your charging costs.

The app supports both tethered and untethered units, putting full control at your fingertips. However, EO is transitioning users to the ev.energy app, so you should check which app will handle your charger long term. This switch aims to improve user experience with added features and continued updates.

Aftercare and Warranty

The EO Mini Pro 3 comes with a three-year warranty that covers the main components, giving you peace of mind. If you face any issues, you can access support through official channels or your installer, who can assist with maintenance and repairs.
