NexBlue Edge & ZEN smart load balancer package

The universal charging box for home charging

NexBlue Edge is a high-efficiency electric vehicle charging station that operates on both 1- and 3-phase with up to 22 kW of charging power. Designed to provide a seamless charging experience for your electric vehicle.

NexBlue Edge is intelligent and adapts to all electric vehicles, supports all currents (6-32A) and all power grids (IT, 230V/1+3-phase, TT and TN 400V). The table shows what effects you can expect with the different power grids and currents:

* Maximum power depends on the car supporting the power grid + power

It will automatically detect whether the car supports 1- or 3-phase charging. The charging box is equipped with one type 2 plug/socket so that all types of rechargeable vehicles can charge from the charging station with the correct charging cable.

The charging box is developed by technology experts from Norway, Sweden and Hong Kong, and meets all safety requirements related to product and installation standards. Tested internally and by third-party accredited technical monitoring organizations.

NexBlue Edge is the winner of the iF Design Award 2024 and aimed to cater to the aesthetic preferences of the Nordic and Western European markets. The Edge uses a Nordic minimalist geometric style, mixed with a “meteorite” design. This, combined with the product being very compact and functional, and allowing customers to monitor and adjust charging from anywhere, made the product win the award. The modular design promotes sustainability by being easy to install and expand.

	Safe and secure charging With 19 sensors, NexBlue Edge continuously monitors changes in amperage, voltage, temperature, keeping you protected and safe before, during and after charging your vehicle. Automatic self-test of the residual current device (RCD-DD) every 24 hours and before each charging session.
	Automatic detection of power grid The charging station supports all power grids so you always get the most out of your charging. It detects which power grid it is connected to so you don't have to think about it.
	Local OCPP NexBlue Edge has OCPP 1.6 J support locally in the charging station, providing integration options with all operators. This means that all operators can control your charging box via the OCPP protocol.
	Certified by TÜV and SGS NexBlue Edge complies with all necessary safety standards for both the product and its installation, ensuring a high level of safety compliance. The charging station has therefore received an EU type approval certificate from SGS. NexBlue Edge has built-in RDC-DD (6 mA DC) and has received the test certificate from the German TÜV (Technischer Überwachungsverein). This indicates that the technology used is safe and complies with all specified regulatory standards (IEC 62955:2018).
	Always online Each charging station has a built-in eSIM with 4G/LTE connectivity to the telephone network so you can control your charging box from anywhere. This subscription is free and included in the purchase price.
	Always updated charging box The charging station automatically connects to the cloud solution and is continuously updated with the latest functionality via over-the-air (OTA) software updates, meaning you have purchased a secure and future-proof product.
	EcoPilot - Smart charging integrated into the APP With EcoPilot mode, you charge smartly according to Nordpool's spot prices. Choose when you want your car to be fully charged, and the software will charge your car during the cheapest hours.

Reliable local control with Bluetooth®

With new Bluetooth functionality, you can control and monitor your charger locally, without relying on cloud services or an internet connection. Or if the charging box has neither 4G/LTE nor WiFi coverage.

Future-proof — easy installation and scalable

The NexBlue Edge charging system allows you to have multiple charging stations as the communication between the charging stations is wireless. Installing multiple charging stations in an existing installation only requires a standard circuit breaker in front of each charging station.

Configuration

With the NexBlue Partner APP, it's quick and easy to configure the charging box. This can be done either by scanning the QR code or via Bluetooth.

Dynamic load balancing and phase balancing

NexBlue Edge makes the most of the available electrical capacity with dynamic load balancing across all charging stations to ensure you always get maximum charging. Load balancing supports up to 3 per “plant” and will work offline. Load and phase balancing optimizes the available power for charging and:

• Monitors the charging system's available charging current ( requires NexBlue ZEN )
• Ensures that available charging power is distributed and used equally
• Does not overload courses or set limits
• Balances the power and phases of the charging stations

Load and phase balancing is done using wireless technology that normally does not require additional infrastructure (cabling), cloud connectivity or internet. It is done via Nexus radio frequency, alternatively WiFi or LAN.

The first charging station configured becomes the main unit (master/primary) in the system. The other units (secondary) communicate with the main unit, so that available capacity can be automatically distributed between all connected units.

The charging boxes have a soft start of charging which ensures that the power circuit is not overloaded at the start of charging and thus you also avoid fuses blowing out due to high and short current pulses.

Dynamic load balancing

New Advanced Metering and Control Systems (AMS), also called AMS electricity meters, mean that in the future we will have to pay for electricity billed per hour. NexBlue Edge is smart and gives you the opportunity to charge your car(s) when electricity is cheapest, and at the same time adapt to your home's consumption via NexBlue ZEN. Likewise, you can easily override smart charging and start charging immediately if you need to use your car in a couple of hours. You can easily switch between smart and fast charging in the app.

User access

You can enable access control on NexBlue Edge so that it must be activated via NFC/RFID or you can lock the charging box via the app. This will prevent unauthorized people from charging at your charging station(s).

Measuring power consumption

A built-in power meter in each charging station gives you control and overview of your power consumption via app or cloud service. You can easily create consumption reports for each user or charging station. This means you can easily have multiple users on one charging station and still distribute electricity costs fairly.

myNexBlue - Application

The charging station comes with an app that makes it easy to:

• Monitor and control charging
• Local control via Bluetooth
• Schedule charging according to the electricity price (timed charging)
• Power consumption - charging statistics and history
