7.4 kW – this corresponds to over 35 km range per hour charged.

amina 1 charges your car in all kinds of weather, from -30° C to +40° C.

You can charge all cars with a type 2 connector, the European standard.

If your car can time-control the charging, you can either do it directly from the car, via the car’s app, via a smart charging app or via your electricity company.

Yes. The amina charging app lets you update the software on your amina S and check its basic status. The app connects to the charger over Bluetooth, so stand near the charger when you use it. amina 1 has no connectivity and does not use the app.

Get amina charging on the App Store or Google Play.

The vehicle controls the connector lock, not the charger. On every amina model the release comes from the car side, so that is where to start.

  1. End the charging session in your car or in your car’s app.
  2. Unlock the car fully with the key or app. Some cars need a separate “unlock charging cable” action in the EV settings menu, not just a door unlock.
  3. Pull the connector straight out, firmly, without forcing it.
  4. If it still will not release, switch the charger’s circuit breaker off, wait ten seconds, switch it back on, and try again.

amina 1 uses a Type 2 socket and your own cable, so the connector can be held at either end. The same steps apply.

If the cable is still held after a power cycle, stop pulling and get in touch. Forcing it risks damaging the connector or the socket.

amina S, amina C and amina M ship with a 6 m Type 2 cable, factory fitted. If the cable is damaged, an electrician can replace it using the official replacement part.

A 9 m cable is available for B2B customers to order and offer to their own customers. amina does not sell the 9 m cable directly to consumers. Contact the business that supplied your charger to ask whether it is available.

amina 1 is different. It has a Type 2 socket and no cable included, so you can use any Type 2 cable rated for your charging current, at whatever length suits you.

amina M. It has an RJ45 Ethernet port alongside 4G and Wi-Fi, which makes it the most reliable choice wherever a cable run is possible.

The others do not:

  • amina C has 4G LTE and dual-band Wi-Fi, but no Ethernet.
  • amina S has Bluetooth and Zigbee only.
  • amina 1 has no connectivity at all.

Yes, but how depends on the model.

  • amina M has no built-in load balancing. It works with an external energy meter, through a local or a cloud solution.
    • Local: amina tested and supports the Xemex module. The module connects to amina M over Modbus RTU. It reads data from the P1 port of the smart meter or from CT clamps. The installer sets the main fuse size on the charger. amina M then adjusts its charging current to stay within that limit.
    • Cloud: A Chargee Sparky, a Chargee Flint or a Saveeye+ device can manage load balancing through your charging platform (CPMS). This works only if your CPMS has an integration with the device and controls the charger over OCPP.
  • amina C gets load balancing from your CPMS through OCPP smart charging profiles.
  • amina S gets load balancing from a third-party Zigbee hub, for example EVA Smart, Perific, Homey or Home Assistant. amina S has no charger-to-charger load balancing.
  • amina 1 has no connectivity, so instead a fixed maximum current is set on the dial by your electrician at installation.
