Teltonika EV Chargers: TeltoCharge and EVC 2 Explained

Teltonika EV Chargers: TeltoCharge and EVC 2

Teltonika Energy is the EV charging division of the Teltonika Group – the same Lithuanian technology company behind the industrial routers and IoT gateways used in hundreds of thousands of deployments worldwide. The Teltonika EV charger range, marketed under the TeltoCharge name, brings the same engineering approach to AC wallbox charging: industrial build quality, flexible connectivity options, and deep integration with network management tools.

routerstore.com is a Teltonika Diamond Partner. We supply Teltonika hardware and provide specialist advice on the connectivity layer that keeps EV charging infrastructure online. If you have found this page while researching Teltonika EV chargers for a UK installation, speak to our technical team about the full picture – hardware, cellular backhaul, and remote management.

The TeltoCharge Range

TeltoCharge is Teltonika Energy’s AC wallbox, available in three power outputs to suit residential, small commercial, and commercial installations. All variants are UKCA compliant and carry Type 2 connector support (IEC 62196-2), making them compatible with every BEV and PHEV sold in the UK.

Each model is available in tethered (cable included) and untethered (Type 2 socket) configurations. Five interchangeable front plate options allow the unit to be specified to match a site’s aesthetic requirements.

Key TeltoCharge Features

• OCPP 1.6J – connects to any CPMS for billing, authorisation, and remote monitoring
• Dynamic load balancing – static, dynamic, and phase balancing via Modbus connection to smart meters
• Solar PV surplus charging – charges from on-site generation when available
• IP55, IK10 – rated for permanent outdoor installation
• Operating temperature -30°C to +50°C
• Multiple connectivity options: Wi-Fi 2.4GHz, Bluetooth LE, Ethernet (RJ45), NFC reader
• Optional built-in 4G LTE modem (CAT1) – available on selected variants
• NFC card and app-based authentication
• CE and UKCA compliant
• Residual current monitoring, ground fault detection, overvoltage and undervoltage protection

EVC 2 – The Next Generation TeltoCharge

The EVC 2 is Teltonika Energy’s second-generation wallbox, launched in 2025. It retains the power range and OCPP connectivity of the original TeltoCharge and adds an upgraded IP56 weatherproofing rating, a 36-month standard warranty (extendable to 60 months), and improved installation flexibility with cable entry from either the back or the bottom of the unit.

The EVC 2 adds dual RS485 ports for dynamic load management and MID metering, a potential-free contact for external integrations, and a power selector switch to simplify commissioning. Firmware updates are available over the air via the Teltonika Energy app or from the cloud platform.

Built-In Connectivity vs Dedicated Cellular Backhaul

Both TeltoCharge and EVC 2 offer multiple connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and an optional integrated 4G LTE modem. For residential and small business installations where a single charger connects via the site’s broadband or Wi-Fi, this built-in connectivity is often sufficient.

However, for commercial deployments – public charge points, car parks, fleet depots, and roadside installations – built-in Wi-Fi and shared broadband introduce risk. A password change, a router fault, or a weak signal is enough to take a charger offline and break the OCPP session.

A dedicated industrial cellular router, separate from the site’s consumer broadband, provides an independent data connection that the charge point operator controls entirely. It also enables dual-SIM failover across two mobile networks, remote management of the connection itself, and VPN-secured communication back to the CPMS. This is the approach used by professional CPOs and installation companies handling multi-unit sites.

As a Teltonika Diamond Partner, routerstore.com provides both the TeltoCharge hardware and the cellular connectivity layer to support it. Our technical team advises on the right router and SIM combination for each installation type.

Teltonika EV Chargers in the UK

TeltoCharge and EVC 2 are both CE and UKCA compliant, meeting the requirements for sale and installation in the UK post-Brexit. The chargers meet IEC 61851-1 (electric vehicle conductive charging systems) and IEC 61851-21 (EMC requirements). OCPP 1.6J compatibility covers the CPMS integration requirements of the major UK charge point network operators.

The OZEV EV chargepoint grant scheme covers workplace and residential installations. TeltoCharge variants have been confirmed as eligible under this scheme by UK resellers. Confirm eligibility with your installer for the specific model and site type.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between TeltoCharge and EVC 2?

TeltoCharge is the original Teltonika Energy AC wallbox, available in 7.4kW, 11kW, and 22kW variants. EVC 2 is the second-generation model launched in 2025. EVC 2 improves on the original with a higher IP56 weatherproofing rating (vs IP55), a longer standard warranty (36 months, extendable to 60), dual RS485 ports, a built-in energy meter, and more flexible cable entry options. Both support OCPP 1.6J and dynamic load balancing.

Does TeltoCharge work with all electric vehicles?

Yes. TeltoCharge and EVC 2 use the Type 2 connector standard (IEC 62196-2), which is the UK and EU standard for AC charging. All battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids sold in the UK are compatible. The charger also supports all PHEV models that accept AC charging via Type 2.

Does TeltoCharge need an internet connection to work?

The charger will deliver power to the vehicle without any network connection – it does not require internet access to charge a car. However, OCPP features including remote management, billing, session authorisation via CPMS, and energy monitoring all require a live connection to the charge point management platform. For commercial and public installations where OCPP uptime is critical, a dedicated cellular connection is the recommended approach rather than relying on site Wi-Fi or broadband.

Can TeltoCharge be managed remotely?

Yes. TeltoCharge connects to Teltonika’s cloud platform and mobile app for remote monitoring, scheduling, and configuration. For commercial CPMS integration, OCPP 1.6J allows the charge point to be managed through any compatible back-office platform. The optional built-in 4G LTE modem provides the connection in locations without fixed-line infrastructure. For larger fleets of chargers, pairing with a Teltonika router and Teltonika RMS enables centralised remote management of the connectivity layer as well as the charger.

What does dynamic load balancing mean?

Dynamic load balancing prevents the charger from drawing more power than the site’s electrical supply can safely provide. The charger monitors overall site consumption via a smart energy meter connected over Modbus and adjusts its charging current in real time. If the site demand rises – for example, industrial equipment switching on – the charger reduces its draw automatically. This allows EV charging to coexist with other high-draw equipment without requiring a grid connection upgrade.

Is TeltoCharge eligible for the UK EV chargepoint grant?

TeltoCharge variants have been confirmed as eligible under the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant scheme by UK resellers. The grant covers workplace and residential installations. Eligibility depends on the specific model, the installation site type, and current grant criteria. Confirm with a registered OZEV installer before purchasing.
