Vorsprung Nano Full Review
Design
At just 16 x 16 x 7 cm, the Vorsprung Nano is among the smallest EV chargers on the market, making it easy to fit into tight spaces such as small garages or narrow driveways. It only weighs 1.5 kg! The casing is made from industrial-grade ABS, and it has an IP55 rating, meaning it can withstand dust, dirt, and low-pressure water jets.
Performance
The Vorsprung Nano’s charging power of 7.4kW is more than enough for everyday EV charging, it can add around 25-30 miles of range per hour for most electric cars.
Smart Features
Despite its compact size, the Vorsprung Nano comes with a range of tasty smart features. The Vorsprung app allows users to monitor their EV charging remotely, schedule charging sessions to take advantage of cheaper overnight tariffs, and adjust settings such as power consumption.
The app provides real-time data on power usage and charge status, allowing you to track your charging sessions, giving you full control over how and when you charge your vehicle. For EV owners with solar panels, there is the ability to schedule charging during peak sunlight hours.
Safety & Protection
The Vorsprung Nano is equipped with built-in PEN protection. The charger also features overcurrent protection and a Type A RCD with 6mA DC leakage detection, providing essential safeguards for both your home and vehicle.
The Nano doesn’t include DC leakage protection.
Installation & Maintenance
Any qualified local electrician can install the charger, meaning you won’t have to hire an EV charger installation specialist. The charger is easy to maintain, requiring minimal upkeep, and the 3-year guarantee is pretty much the industry standard for Ev chargers.
Its compact size makes the Nano one of the easiest chargers to install in homes with limited space.
Design & Durability
The IK10 impact rating means the Nano is tough enough to withstand accidental knocks and scrapes, while its IP55 rating ensures protection against dust and water. This makes it durable enough to withstand typical outdoor weather. Its got a slightly ‘boxy’ design that is not as modern as some chargers on the market, but the price makes up for that!
The Final Word on the Vorsprung Nano EV Charger
We like the Vorsprung Nano EV charger, the price is great and although it’s got an old-fashioned look about it, it’s still a high-performing charger that works well for UK homes. Its got a lot of smart features and is easy to install!
