Vorsprung Cyber EV Charger Full Review
The Vorsprung Cyber EV Charger is a very basic charger that has no smart charging capability. It does have fast, reliable charging with minimal hassle – however these days most EV owners would expect to see an app and smart charging capability. It’s designed to be simple yet effective, and it does exactly what it says on the tin! This charger is ideal for EV owners seeking a no-nonsense, plug-and-play solution.
Performance and Charging Speed
With a maximum output of 7.4kW, the Vorsprung Cyber charges your electric vehicle over three times faster than a standard 3-pin plug. The charger delivers up to 32A and its fast-charging capability makes it suitable for overnight or even quick top-ups during the day, adding around 30 miles of range per hour.
It may lack advanced smart features like scheduling, but it will get your car charged.
Ease of Use
The Vorsprung Cyber is very simple to use.
Unlike more complex chargers, this model doesn’t require specialized EV professionals or installation. Any qualified local electrician can set it up, which helps to keep installation costs down. With its plug-and-play design, all you need to do is connect the charger to a suitable power source, and you’re ready to go.
The unit comes with a tethered 5m or 10m cable.
Installation and Maintenance
The Vorsprung Cyber shines in its ease of installation and low-maintenance design. Built-in PEN (Protective Earth Neutral) protection means you don’t need to install an external earth rod. The charger is built to withstand a range of environmental conditions because it has an IP55 rating.
The charger comes with overcurrent, overvoltage, and leakage protection as standard. Maintenance is minimal, and with a three-year warranty included, you’re covered in case of any unforeseen issues.
Design and Durability
At 200 x 148 x 98 mm, the Vorsprung Cyber is small but its durable thanks to its industrial-grade ABS housing. The charger is available in two colours, black and white!
