Chargers
Smart home unit
Rolec Zura
The smart home charger, app controlled, in a case that suits most houses and a fair few small car parks.
What it is for
Where the Zura fits
Homes, new build housing developments, apartment blocks and small workplace car parks.
- Category
- Smart home unit
- Output
- 7.4kW single phase, or 22kW three phase
- Sockets
- One or two, socket or tethered lead
- Suits
- Homes and light commercial
Specification
- Charges at up to 22kW on three phase, or 7.4kW single phase
- Single or twin outlet, so two cars can share one unit
- Interchangeable front covers to suit the building
- Start a charge by app, RFID card or fob
- Load balancing so the property supply is never overloaded
- Earth fault detection built in, so no separate earth rod is needed
Charge speed
How fast the Zura is
Where this unit sits against the rest of the range, by top output. Speed classes rather than a linear axis, because a wall unit and a rapid DC cabinet do not belong on the same straight line.
Bars are scaled by charging class rather than linearly, so the wall units stay readable next to rapid DC. Figures are each unit’s top output.
On the Zura
20 to 80 per cent, which is the window a fleet actually turns around in.
at 22kW
1h 47m
Indicative. A vehicle whose on-board charger is limited to 7.4kW gains nothing from a 22kW unit.
Installation
What fitting one actually involves
01
What installing a Zura involves
On a house it is usually half a day. The work is a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit to the unit, the unit itself, and the cable route between them, which is the part worth agreeing before anyone starts.
On a development or a small car park it is the same unit but a shared supply design, with load management so the units share what is available.
02
Single or twin outlet
The twin outlet version serves two vehicles from one unit, which on a two car household or a small staff car park saves installing twice. If a second vehicle is likely within a few years it is normally worth doing now.
03
Making it suit the building
The interchangeable covers are the practical reason we specify the Zura on period and conservation area properties. A charger is a box on the front of a building for the next ten years, and on some houses that matters as much as the charging.

Zura in short
- Charges at up to 22kW on three phase, or 7.4kW single phase
- Single or twin outlet, so two cars can share one unit
- Interchangeable front covers to suit the building
- Start a charge by app, RFID card or fob
UltraCharge in short
- Sold from 40kW up to 400kW, so the unit can be matched to the turnaround you actually need
- The larger units are modular, so power can be added later in steps rather than replacing the cabinet
- Two outputs that share the available power between vehicles automatically
- Works across a 150V to 1000V range, so it suits older and newer vehicles
