Evnex E2 Flex Installs

Both are 7.4kW single-phase home chargers with a 5m cable and Wi-Fi. The main differences are that the E2 Core includes solar-smart charging, a cable hook, and Amber integration out of the box.

The E2 Flex skips those features to keep the cost lower. If you add solar later, solar-smart charging can be unlocked through a $349 software upgrade, with no electrician visit needed.

Homes that don't have solar yet and want a smart charger with scheduling, overload protection, and app control at the lowest price point. It's also a solid choice if you simply don't need solar features now but want the option to add them later.

If you already have solar or plan to install it soon, the E2 Core or E2 Plus is usually the better starting point.

The E2 Flex is a 7.4kW charger, and Evnex positions the E2 range as adding up to 50km of range per hour, depending on the vehicle.

In practical terms, it’s designed for reliable overnight or scheduled home charging. It won’t charge as quickly as a public DC fast charger, but for most EVs, it can add plenty of range overnight while the car is parked at home.

Yes. Solar-smart charging can be unlocked later for a one-time $349 fee. It’s a software upgrade, so no electrician visit is needed.

That said, if you're planning to install solar soon, we'd usually recommend starting with the E2 Core or E2 Plus, since solar smarts are already built in.

Yes. The Flex connects via Wi-Fi and gives you full access to the Evnex driver app for scheduling, monitoring, and charge management.

Compared to the Core, the main app features missing on the Flex are solar diversion controls and Amber Electric tariff integration. Amber integration cannot be added later, but solar-smart charging can be unlocked with a software upgrade.

Yes. Built-in overload protection comes standard on all Evnex chargers, including the Flex. It monitors your home's power supply and adjusts charging speed to prevent overloading circuits.

That's one of the most practical smart features for real homes where air con, ovens, and hot water run alongside the charger.

Yes — they work with all modern EVs and plug-in hybrids. They use a Type 2 connector, which is the standard on nearly every electric car sold in Australia.

This includes vehicles from Tesla, Hyundai, Nissan, BYD, MG, BMW, Audi, Volvo, and more. In short, the E2 range is a universal charger that will safely charge almost any EV or PHEV on the road today.

Yes. Evnex describes the E2 range as weatherproof, UV-resistant, and designed for local conditions, so outdoor installation is normal when the mounting position is sensible.

We still choose the location carefully so the charger stays easy to use and protected from avoidable knocks, pooling water, or awkward cable paths.

Wi-Fi only (2.4GHz band). The Flex does not include 4G — that's a step up to the E2 Plus if you need cellular backup for a weak Wi-Fi spot.

The E2 Flex relies on reliable Wi-Fi at the charger location for app control, scheduling and monitoring, so Wi-Fi coverage should be checked before installation.

Evnex offers a 4-year residential warranty and 3-year commercial warranty on the E2 Flex, backed by local support and remote diagnostics.

We also back our installation work with our workmanship warranty, so you're covered on both the charger side and the install side.

Yes. Smart scheduling is included on the Flex. You can set it to charge during cheaper off-peak periods and save on your electricity bills.

Evnex can automatically fetch your actual energy tariffs from your power company and create a personalised charging schedule through the app.

We can do either. We can supply and install the E2 Flex as a complete package, or if you’ve already purchased a new E2 Flex, we can quote the installation only.

The important thing is confirming the model suits your site before installation day.

We inspect the switchboard, confirm the mounting point, run the dedicated circuit, mount the charger, test the hardware, and set up the app and smart charging settings.

Most straightforward installs are done in a few hours, although difficult cable routing or board work can extend that.

The main variables are switchboard condition, supply arrangement, distance to the charger location, cable routing difficulty, and whether extra protection or remedial work is needed.

It depends on your situation. If you already have solar or are getting it fitted soon, the E2 Core is usually the better buy because solar smarts come built in.

If you're genuinely grid-only for now and want to save the difference, the Flex gets you the same charging speed, app control, and overload protection at a lower price — with the option to upgrade later.

Evnex chargers are designed and manufactured in New Zealand, not rebranded generic imports. They’re backed by local support teams across Australia and New Zealand, with over 10,000 customers.

As a local installer, we deal directly with the Evnex team when needed, so you're supported on both sides of the install.

No. The cable hook is included with the E2 Core and E2 Plus but not the Flex — it's one of the features Evnex trimmed to keep the Flex at a lower price point.
