SMA EV Charger allows PV system operators to charge their electric vehicles intelligently and sustainably. This is because charging electric vehicles with solar power keeps grid purchase costs to a minimum.
Whether your system is brand-new or has been in operation for some time, SMA EV Charger is highly flexible and compatible with all standard electric vehicles thanks to its permanently attached type 2 charging cable. Thanks to the SMA Energy System Home, users receive solutions from a single source.
It can be easily operated using a rotary switch directly on the device or from the SMA Energy app on your smartphone. The boost function charges at almost twice the speed of a conventional charging station. Even small solar capacities can be utilized to the maximum early in the morning and evening thanks to the automatic switchover from single- and three-phase charge modes.
When you are in a hurry, SMA EV Charger enables charging with the maximum available charging power and up to ten times faster than a conventional household socket*. For this, the electric vehicle charger can use utility grid or solar power.

If you have time to spare, SMA EV Charger enables affordable, CO2-neutral charging with sustainable electricity from your own PV system. For emission-free mobility at minimal costs.
When you enter the charging target (departure time and amount of electricity to be charged) in the SMA Energy app, Sunny Home Manager intelligently schedules charging. This enables charging at minimal cost and with the peace of mind that your vehicle will be ready to go.
Thanks to the SMA Energy app, system owners have all the relevant information about their systems at the ready at all times. This ensures greater transparency thanks to up-to-date information about the charging process and maximum control through configuration of the charging mode.
Highly convenient: Simply enter when you want your car to be ready and the app starts the charging process automatically.
This highly intelligent system always takes all loads into account during charging and prevents the home connection from becoming overloaded. Automatic adjustment of the charge power, even when multiple loads are in use simultaneously, ensures smooth operation at all times. This means that users always benefit from the maximum available power that the house connection and vehicle allow. With SMA Smart Connected, SMA is the first manufacturer to offer free, automatic monitoring of the charging station, which allows installers to provide customers with quick and targeted service.
The SMA Energy System Home is the perfect combination of high-quality equipment, intelligent management and exceptional service. Its modular design means that getting started is easy and allows the system to be upgraded to suit your budget and requirements – anytime and with no hassle.

Yes. When the installer commissions the device, the “Nominal active power WMaxIn” setting can be reduced to any value in the installation wizard under > Device configuration > Charging settings. Configuring the SMA EV Charger 22 to a maximum of 11 kW, for example, may help you avoid having to obtain approval from the grid operator. The settings are protected by the installer password and can be adjusted by the installer at any time even after commissioning.
An outdated vehicle software version may be causing this. In this case, contact your vehicle dealer or the specialist workshop of your choice and have all vehicle control units updated. This will usually solve the problem.
The AC onboard charger installed in the vehicle is an important factor when it comes to the maximum possible charging power. For example, if your vehicle has an 11 kW AC onboard charger, the SMA EV Charger 22 will charge at a maximum power of 11 kW as well. Please also check the configuration of the SMA EV Charger’s “Nominal active power WMaxIn” setting (> Device configuration > Charging settings).
