Supporting Statement
The Sync Energy Link EV Charger has been developed to challenge what installers, wholesalers and homeowners should expect from a domestic EV charging solution. In a market where functionality has often taken priority over appearance, Link delivers both. It combines smart charging capability, installer-focused flexibility and a premium architectural finish, creating an EV charger that is as considered in design as it is in performance.
At the heart of the product is its unique, patent-approved two-part design. Unlike conventional EV chargers, where the full charging unit is fixed to the outside of the property, Link separates the outlet from the control box. The result is a much smaller and more discreet charging point on the wall, with the control box positioned separately, up to 50 metres away. This gives installers significantly more flexibility when planning the installation and allows homeowners to achieve a far cleaner, more refined finish.
This design approach is particularly valuable for modern homes, high-end residential properties and design-conscious customers who want EV charging without compromising the appearance of their property. The visible outlet can be installed in a recessed format for an ultra-slim finish, sitting just 37mm proud of the wall. Alternatively, it can be surface mounted where a recessed installation is not suitable. Both mounting options are included in every kit, helping wholesalers and installers offer one flexible product that can adapt to a variety of property types and customer preferences.
The finished installation is where Link really sets itself apart. Its compact outlet has been designed to look intentional, not intrusive. Rather than appearing as a bulky electrical product on the front of a home, it presents as a neat, premium charging point with a clean, architectural feel.
For electrical wholesalers, this creates a clear point of difference. Link gives branches a product that answers a growing customer demand for EV chargers that look better, install flexibly and still deliver the technical confidence expected from a professional charging solution. It is not simply another wall charger. It is a product that helps wholesalers offer a more premium option to installers and end users.
The two-part design also brings practical benefits on site. Because the outlet and control box can be separated by up to 50 metres, the installer has greater freedom to position the visible charging point exactly where the customer wants it, while placing the control box in a more practical location for wiring, protection and access. This can help overcome common installation challenges where the ideal charging position is not the most suitable place for the main electronics or protective components. It also supports a cleaner result when working with garages, driveways, side elevations, plant rooms or properties where appearance is a key consideration.
Link is available with two control box options, giving installers further flexibility depending on the application. The plastic control box offers a lighter, compact and cost-effective solution, with integrated safety features including 30mA AC Type A RCM and 6mA DC sense, making it well suited to installations where upstream protection is already in place. The metal control box provides additional integrated protection, including SPD, 40A MCB, 30mA Type A RCD and 6mA DC, making it suitable for more demanding environments or where sufficient upstream protection is not already in place. This choice enables wholesalers to support a wider range of installation scenarios with a consistent, premium product proposition.
Durability has also been built into the design. Link is IP65 rated and IK10 rated, giving installers and homeowners confidence that the visible outlet is robust enough for external installations while retaining its discreet, design-led appearance.
The premium aesthetic is supported by intelligent detail. The outlet includes an indicator LED, while the control box also features an LED status indicator. For customers who prefer a darker, more subtle appearance at night, the outlet LED can be disabled, supporting “dark skies” style installations and maintaining the clean, understated look of the property. This level of consideration reflects the wider design intent behind Link, to provide smart EV charging without unnecessary visual clutter.
Link is also part of the wider Sync Energy ecosystem, giving users access to smart charging features through the Sync Energy App. This includes scheduling, smart stop/start, Auto Solar and Tariff Sense, helping homeowners make better use of energy tariffs and available solar generation. For installers, it provides a clear handover journey and supports the growing demand for connected home energy solutions. For wholesalers, it strengthens the value of the product beyond the hardware itself, positioning Link as part of a broader home energy management proposition.
The Sync Energy Link EV Charger has been designed around the needs of three key audiences. For homeowners, it offers a premium, discreet and future-ready EV charging solution that complements the property rather than detracting from it. For installers, it offers flexibility, practical installation options and the ability to deliver a more professional finished result. For wholesalers, it provides a distinctive and commercially valuable product that can stand apart from standard EV chargers in an increasingly competitive market.
In a category where many products still follow a similar format, Sync Energy Link brings genuine innovation. It is compact, flexible, robust and visually refined. It enables a cleaner installation, supports premium property aesthetics and gives wholesalers a product with a strong, easy-to-understand point of difference. The charger has been designed not only to meet today’s EV charging requirements, but to raise the standard for how EV charging should be integrated into the home.
For these reasons, the Sync Energy Link EV Charger represents a standout product for the Electrical Wholesaler Awards. It brings together patented design, installer practicality, homeowner appeal and strong commercial opportunity for wholesalers, all within a premium EV charging solution that is genuinely different from the rest of the market.
