The charger we install in your home
Every Volt Éire installation includes the BENY 7.4 kW smart home charger — single-phase, 32 A, with a 5-metre tethered Type 2 cable. Smart enough to schedule off-peak charging from your phone; simple enough to just plug in and go.
It's included in our fixed price of €1,299 all-in. You receive €300 back from SEAI after installation, bringing your net cost to €999.

Smart, but only when you want it
You can use the charger as a simple plug-and-go unit on day one. When you're ready, the BENY Z-BOX app on your phone unlocks scheduled charging, RFID management, history and remote start.
Z-BOX is the manufacturer's app — we don't require an account with us to use your charger.
OCPP 1.6J
Open-protocol smart charger — works with the BENY cloud and any OCPP 1.6J back-end (e.g. Monta, ChargeHQ).
Works without internet
No network needed for daily charging. RFID cards or a tap on the app via Bluetooth get you going even when Wi-Fi is down.
Solar-ready (optional add-on)
Compatible with the BENY DLB box for solar PV integration — charge from excess solar, hybrid mode, or fixed grid limit. Ask us if you have panels.

Take control with the Z-BOX app
