amina S – The future of EV charging

Click on the “find dealer” button to see all partners and resellers and what they currently sell it for.

The two versions differ in the fixed cable and the maximum charging power. The 20 A version charges at up to 13.8 kW on a 3-phase supply and up to 4.6 kW on 1-phase. The 32 A version charges at up to 22 kW on 3-phase and up to 7.4 kW on 1-phase, which adds up to 100 km of range in one hour. Both come with a 6 m Type 2 cable fitted.

Yes, the 6 meter fixed cable is included. You can choose between 20 A (14 kW) or 32 A (22 kW).

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

Yes. amina S / S2 has Zigbee and Bluetooth LE built in, so it can connect to smart home and energy platforms such as Home Assistant, Homey, EVA Smart and Perific. If your car can schedule charging, you can also set charging times in the car, in its app, in a smart charging app or through 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.

amina C / C2 and amina M / M2 work with Monta: they use OCPP and are already integrated with Monta. amina S / S2 does not have OCPP, so it cannot connect to Monta. It handles smart charging over Bluetooth and Zigbee instead, through platforms such as Home Assistant, Homey, EVA Smart and Perific.

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 S2, amina C2 and amina M2 are compliant with ISO 15118-20 according to AFIR. This enables Plug & Charge and bidirectional charging (V2G). The first versions of amina S, amina C and amina M do not support ISO 15118-20.

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.

amina S / S2 is sold in black only.

amina C / C2 and amina M / M2 are a different matter. The front cover, cable handle, packaging and manuals can all be customised to a partner’s brand, so those are not limited to black. This is a B2B arrangement rather than a per-unit option at the point of purchase. Contact amina to discuss customisation options and order requirements.

amina chargers are built for the European market. They use the Type 2 connector and are designed for European electrical systems and standards.

amina chargers are currently live in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain, the Baltic states, Poland, Iceland and Ireland.

Availability and sales routes vary by country. For these markets, or to discuss another market, contact sales through aminacharging.com/contact. Arrangements may be possible outside the countries listed.

Use the contact form at aminacharging.com/contact for product support, technical questions or help with an existing charger. Your enquiry will be sent to the right team.

amina does not publish a general support phone number. Include your charger model, country, installer or dealer, and a short description of the issue so the team can respond efficiently.

Use the amina charging app for iOS or Android. Stand next to the charger, find it over Bluetooth and run the update from the app. amina C / C2 and amina M / M2 also support over-the-air updates, so they can be updated without a site visit.

amina S2 is the AFIR-ready version of amina S. It is compliant with ISO 15118-20, the standard behind Plug & Charge and bidirectional charging (V2G). Both versions charge at up to 22 kW and connect to smart home systems over Zigbee and Bluetooth.

Yes, through a third-party Zigbee hub such as EVA Smart, Perific, Homey or Home Assistant. amina S / S2 has no charger-to-charger load balancing, so the hub manages it. Find out more about smart charging at aminacharging.com/smart.

You can download the documentation for amina S / S2 from our Brand Hub in several languages, including the quick guide, product sheet, warranty and declaration of conformity. Electricians can find the installation video on our Support page.
