V2G & V2H hardware-ready
ISO 15118 communication is built in. None of the mainstream home chargers here are vehicle-to-grid hardware.
How it compares
The MX7, measured against the UK's best-known home chargers.
An honest, like-for-like look at the Humax MX7 next to four popular 7.4kW home chargers — built from each manufacturer's own published specifications, not marketing claims.
Where the MX7 pulls ahead.
Swappable front fascia
Change the front panel to match your home. The other four chargers ship with a fixed housing.
Energy-theft protection
PLC vehicle identification means only your registered vehicle can draw a charge — unique to the MX7 here.
Up to 5-year warranty
Among the longest standard cover in its class — twice the 3-year standard of most rivals.

Humax MX7 figures from the official Humax MX7 datasheet. Competitor figures taken from each manufacturer's own published specifications — myenergi (Zappi), Ohme, Hypervolt, Pod Point — correct as of 12/06/2026 and subject to change. A "—" means the manufacturer does not publish that detail; it is not a claim the feature is absent. Always confirm current specifications with each manufacturer before purchase.
