Masterplug Smart EV Home Wall Charger for Type 2 Electric and Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles, Tethered with 5m Cable, Mode 3, App Control, Solar Charging, Single Phase, Black, IP55, 7.4kW, 32A, EVCM3ST7B-MP

Great charger and value. Simple install and app setup. Connects via Monta app, the unit has WiFi and Ethernet connections. Works with WiFi 6 too. I previously had a EO unit that did not connect via WiFi or Ethernet and would require resetting after each use. Have used for a week now and no issues. Build seems great for price. Has a minimalist design and isn’t that much bigger than it competitors. Great, simple to use charger and at a fraction of the cost.

I chose this Masterplug EV charger because of the known Brand and 3 year guarantee rather than several alternatives also sold by Amazon! Physical installation was very straightforward to replace my 11year old 3Kw charger which had suddenly failed! The Masterplug unit is quite a neat size and fitted on my garage wall directly over the cable entry point with a rubber grommet seal. After installing new cabling and 32A breakers the Masterplug unit was ready to commission! You need 2 Apps from this point which are both available for iPhone and Android and QR codes provided on the instruction sheet! Firstly the Masterplug App uses Bluetooth to identify the Masterplug device and to connect to your home Wi-Fi network! There is a small sticker on the instructions sheet giving the Masterplug unit Name and Password! Be careful to keep this paperwork safe in case you need to reboot the charger at any point in the future! Now this was the first sticking point in my installation because we couldn’t get the unit to connect to my home Wi-Fi network!! Despite removing and reinstalling the Masterplug App it refused to connect! Problem was solved by setting up an alternative Wi-Fi network inside my garage using a mesh system! Once connected to this alternative wifi the rest of the setup moved along faultlessly! The next App needed is the Monta App which basically switches the charger ON and OFF and you can set it for instant charge or a timed use! I simply wanted a timed use in line with my night time economy 7 energy tariff in order to charge my car overnight! The rest of the Monta App has no real benefit, in my opinion, unless you want to setup a Public Charging unit or search for other Monta linked public chargers located via their online map! There are other features in the Monta App like notifications of charge start and charge finish tine and a Kw Consumption! But I get that in my Energy providers App anyway! So in Summary, I really like the build quality of this charger !! It seems to works well so far and is easy to use, once you have worked out how to setup the Wi-Fi. Interestingly, I checked back after a couple of hours and I could then easily connect the Masterplug Charger to my home Wi-fi network so the temporary Mesh Wi-fi could now be removed !! I also bought a supplemental charger plug wall bracket on Amazon which holds the charger plug more securely than the Masterplug unit.

Ordered this at black Friday got a good bargain! Great home charger , the app is really easy to use, very happy with this product.

I am impressed. First off, the length is perfect for my needs, giving me much more flexibility when parking. I don’t have to worry about being right next to the charging station anymore. The cable itself feels very durable and weather-resistant. The charging speed is consistent and reliable, and I love how easy it is to plug in and disconnect. It doesn’t tangle which was a problem with my previous cable. This one just works smoothly every time, and the quality is apparent in every aspect of the design. The battery life holds up well, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how far I can go on a single charge, even with city driving. I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to any EV owner looking for a longer, more versatile charging solution.

Installed yesterday and easy to set up. Has synced with our eon tariff and first charge went well!

Great product. Easy setup.

--- October update --- 3 issues have been identified during 1 month of usage. 1. Maximum charge rate I get is 6.7kWh and not 7.4kWh. 2. The "MP EV Charging app" lets you adjust the brightness of the LED, but I see no difference between 1% and 100% indicating the setting is faulty. 3. The WiFi connection drops and reconnects at least once a week. This does not interrupt charging though. --- First review --- I took a chance on this charger since I couldn't find much details on this device or any decent reviews and so here is my review of the device. Preface: I am not an electrician, but I am a talented amateur when it comes to installing simple appliances and wiring them up. Installation: There is nothing out of the ordinary for installation because the device is made to be easy to install. You need 4 screws (not supplied) to fix the case to the wall and then you feed the cable in through the back or like I did from the bottom. While it is possible to install this on your own, it will definitely be much easier if you do it with a partner to help you hold things into place. Configuration step 1: You will need to install 2 apps for this device. The first is the "MP EV Charging" app (Android and iPhone) which you use to configure the charger. The app allows you to connect it to your home network, configure the max amperage draw, and as test the RCD switch. Using the app is really simple with big buttons and an uncluttered screen. Just read what the app asks of you and you'll be fine. Configuration step 2: When step 1 is complete, you'll be using the Monta app to manage and monitor the charger. The app lets you set scheduled charging or swipe to charge etc... You will need to connect your charger to the Monta app, but there is a QR Code you can scan to make this easier. Build quality: The device is all hardened plastic which makes me question its longevity when exposed to the elements, but it's early days so we'll see how it goes. Pros: Easy to install, easy to configure, easy to use. Con 1: Monta App requires you to set an address on the charge point, but I suppose you can just use a fake address if you want to hide your home address. Con 2: There is no cover for the screws. Overall I am happy with the device and it's been charging the whole time I was writing this review with no faults or the RCD tripping. I'll come back in October and December with updates on the device.

My electrician was very happy setting this up. Really straightforward without external management such as with podpoint. Seems pretty configurable but the default Monta Charge app seems pretty good too! Overall very happy especially with the price
