Easee and Hypervolt both sell compact smart wallboxes used on UK homes. Easee is often discussed where more than one point might be added later on a bus or a load-sharing arrangement. Hypervolt is often discussed as a single domestic unit with a strong app focus. Your house probably needs one 7 kW point on a dedicated circuit. In that case, compare warranty, tether options, tariff support, installer familiarity and look. Do not pay for a multi-unit architecture you will never expand.

Frequently asked questions

Neither, on a single-phase 7 kW install, if both are set to the same current.
Can I mix them later?
You can add a second brand on its own circuit if the supply allows. They will not act as one system.
What about the Equalizer?
That is a load-management product in the Easee world. Specify it only if the design needs it.
Are cables included?
Ask. Socketed and tethered prices are easy to miscompare.
