Up to 22kW AC charging

Designed for higher-demand sites, PlugStream 22S supports faster charging where three-phase power is available while preserving the clean PlugStream design language.

Domestic and commercial flexibility

Suitable for homes, private communal parking, leisure settings, and business premises where a more capable charger or scalable site architecture is required.

Start, stop, and schedule charging

Use the PlugStream app to automate charging around your energy pricing strategy, your operating hours, and the availability of vehicles on site.

Connected through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, or optional 4G

Multiple connectivity paths make the charger easier to commission and easier to manage over time.

OCPP 2.0.1 ready

PlugStream 22S remains back-office agnostic so sites can integrate with PlugStream Cloud or another OCPP-compliant platform.

Installer friendly commercial hardware

Built-in safety measures and practical cable routing help installers deploy single or multi-unit sites efficiently with less unnecessary complexity.

Power and Ethernet daisy chaining

PlugStream 22S is designed to support cleaner multi-unit layouts, reducing friction when planning repeatable workplace or destination charging projects.

Over-the-air software updates

Stay current with future improvements and operational enhancements without replacing charge point hardware in the field.

Automated load management

Distribute available site power intelligently across more than one charger to make the most of the existing supply and support staged expansion.

Smart Tariff Support

Charging with smart tariffs

PlugStream is designed to work with smart tariff-led charging so drivers can shift charging into lower-cost windows instead of plugging in at the same time every day.

If you use compatible Octopus Energy tariffs, you can build your charging routine around real household energy prices, intelligent scheduling, and off-peak periods to make everyday EV charging easier to manage.
