Hypervolt Home 3 Pro Ultra Black 5m for tidy charging on darker exteriors

Hypervolt Home 3 Pro Ultra Black 5m is a 7.4kW single-phase tethered EV charger designed for home charging setups where a standard cable length is enough and a darker charger finish is the better visual fit. It combines a permanently attached 5-metre Type 2 cable, connected smart charging features, solar-aware modes and the current Home 3 Pro platform in Hypervolt’s Ultra Black colourway.

The core charging platform is the same across the Home 3 Pro range, so the main buying differences are cable length and finish. On this variant, the 5m lead is the practical choice for straightforward parking layouts, while the Ultra Black casing suits darker render, black cladding, anthracite doors and more contemporary exterior details where a lighter charger could draw more attention than you want.

Because the charger is tethered, daily use stays simple. You do not need to fetch a loose cable from the car each time. That matters most on regular home charging routines, where small differences in convenience make the charger easier to live with over time.

Why the 5m cable is right for some homes

A standard-length tethered lead is often the best answer when the charger location and the vehicle inlet are already reasonably close. The 5m Home 3 Pro keeps enough reach for many home layouts without adding unnecessary slack. That helps keep the charging area neater and reduces extra cable handling on narrower driveways or inside garages.

Longer leads have their place, but they are most useful when the layout demands them. On a simpler driveway, extra cable can become something to store and manage rather than a real advantage. That is why the 5m variant remains a useful option in its own right.

For a household that parks in a consistent spot each day, the 5m model keeps the tethered experience quick and tidy.

App control, schedules and tariff support

Home 3 Pro is designed for connected use through the Hypervolt app. The app provides access to schedules, usage records, lock functions and charger settings, giving buyers a practical way to control charging without needing to rely on the wall unit alone. Bluetooth is used during setup, while WiFi or wired Ethernet can be used for ongoing connection.

That connected setup matters because it supports more than simple start and stop times. Hypervolt also supports Octopus Intelligent Go and OVO Charge Anytime activation through the relevant apps, which helps the charger fit lower-cost charging routines where supported.

LED status lighting is part of the Home 3 Pro platform too, and Hypervolt lists selectable LED brightness and modes in its feature set. That is useful when the charger is mounted in a visible location and you want a lower-profile look at night.

Eco and Super Eco solar charging modes

Hypervolt lists Eco and Super Eco charging modes for the Home 3 Pro. The supplied CT clamp is part of that picture because the installation guide confirms it is fitted to measure the main load on the property and discover solar export. That allows the charger to respond to what the home is generating and using.

In practice, Eco mode can use a mix of solar and grid power, while Super Eco is intended to prioritise surplus solar generation. That gives the charger a clear advantage for solar-equipped homes, while still leaving it fully useful as a normal smart wallbox on days when solar output is limited.

Automatic load management is also part of the Home 3 Pro feature set, adding another practical layer for households that want the charger to respond sensibly when demand elsewhere in the property rises.

Build quality, protection and installation relevance

Hypervolt’s current technical sheet lists Home 3 Pro as a 7.4kW, 32A, 230V single-phase charger with WiFi, Ethernet and Bluetooth. It also lists IP66 ingress protection and IK10 impact resistance. Those ratings matter because they show the unit is intended for outdoor domestic use rather than protected indoor-only installation.

The installation guide confirms that the charger is supplied with a CT clamp and that the platform includes built-in PEN fault protection. That helps simplify installation planning, although the final protection arrangement and circuit design still depend on the electrician and the site.

Hypervolt also states that Home 3 Pro comes with 3 years warranty as standard, which is the core verified warranty position for this variant.

Who this variant suits best

The Ultra Black 5m version is a strong fit for buyers who want a standard tethered cable length, a darker charger finish and the convenience of a fixed lead on a routine home setup. It is particularly well suited to darker exteriors and properties where the charger is visible and colour choice matters.

Compared with the 7.5m and 10m versions, this model is the cleaner option when extra reach is unnecessary. It keeps the same Home 3 Pro platform, but with the cable length and finish that best suit a straightforward layout.
