General

amina’s chargers are available from electricians, electronics stores and electricity providers. Click on the “find dealer” button to see all partners and resellers.

amina’s EV chargers are a much safer choice than an electrical socket and is developed according to the latest safety regulations and international standards. An EV charger can handle a much higher load, over a longer period of time, than a socket. It also includes extra safety features, which makes the charging safer. As an example: in 2022, the Norwegian Electrotechnical Committee (NEK) prohibited to install a socket to be used for car charging. The reason is simple: fire safety. Check your local rules and regulations for more information.

Efficient design and manufacturing. Those savings are passed down to you.

amina 1 and amina S must be protected against overload and short circuit as well as AC earth faults. This can be solved with an earth-fault circuit breaker type A (normal type) or one circuit breaker and one earth-fault circuit breaker type A.

amina M

The amina M is built for homes, multi-unit residential buildings, and commercial car parks, anywhere between 1 and 200+ charging points in a single installation when a MID meter is required. It handles the complexity of shared infrastructure so building managers and charge point operators don’t have to.

Yes. MID (Measuring Instruments Directive) certification means the amina M measures energy delivery to the legal standard required for billing tenants or customers. If you’re charging per kWh, this matters legally.

The amina C & M use OCPP 1.6J (and are ready for OCPP 2.0.1), which is the industry-standard open protocol. That means it’s compatible with any OCPP-compliant charge point management system (CPMS). You’re not tied to amina’s software or any specific vendor. You can find all integrations partner here.

Standard connectivity is via 4G. Ethernet and Wifi are available as an option for locations where cabling or connectivity to 4G data back to a network is not available, impractical, or expensive.

It uses the Type 2 connector, which is the European standard. Any EV sold in Europe from roughly 2018 onwards will be compatible. Older vehicles with Type 1 connectors would need an adapter, though this is rarely an issue in practice.

amina C

amina S is designed for residential use, offering technology like Zigbee and Bluetooth connectivity for home integration.
