Buyer Confidence

Why teams feel confident specifying PlugStream 22S

Confidence comes from more than power output. PlugStream combines warranty clarity, British support, installer-ready hardware, and compliance-led design so the site decision is easier to defend.

Warranty and support cover

3-year warranty as standard, extended to 5 years with installer activation, backed by UK-based support routes.

Designed for practical installation

Installer-friendly hardware, clear commissioning paths, and a pole-mount option available separately where the site needs it.

Made and supported in Britain

PlugStream is proudly designed, manufactured, and supported in the UK for faster communication and clearer accountability.

Choice of charging platform

OCPP 1.6J, OCPP 2.0.1 and OCPP 2.1 support gives you options for PlugStream Cloud or a compatible third-party management platform.

PlugStream 22S Overview

Key Features

PlugStream 22S is built for sites that need faster charging and more room to scale, while keeping the everyday flexibility of a socketed Type 2 format. MID metering, optional 4G, and V2G or V2L project options extend the same platform into more demanding installations.

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.

Three OCPP versions. More platform choice.

OCPP 1.6J, OCPP 2.0.1 and OCPP 2.1 support keeps your choice of management platform open. Connect to PlugStream Cloud or a compatible third-party platform, with the required workflows checked for your project.

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.

V2G and V2L options

Specify bidirectional charging options for projects that need vehicle-to-grid or vehicle-to-load capability. Operation depends on a compatible vehicle, site electrical design, and the selected project configuration.

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.

MID meter interface

Connect a compatible MID meter for auditable energy measurement and project-specific billing. Public and destination charging projects can add a separate payment terminal scoped around the site and payment journey.

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.

Check Octopus compatibility

Open charging platform

Choose the platform behind your charger.

PlugStream Firmware supports OCPP 1.6J, OCPP 2.0.1 and OCPP 2.1. That gives you more choice when connecting a new charger, expanding an estate or planning a move to another management platform.

OCPP 1.6J

Connect to established platforms

Support for existing charging estates using the JSON over WebSocket version of OCPP 1.6.

OCPP 2.0.1

Manage more of the charger

A richer Device Model for configuration and monitoring, with expanded transaction and security capabilities.

OCPP 2.1

Plan for energy integration

A protocol foundation for newer charging and energy services as compatible platforms and equipment adopt them.

Each connection uses one agreed protocol version. Compatibility depends on the installed firmware, platform configuration and required features. OCPP 2.1 support alone does not enable bidirectional charging or every optional feature; these also depend on the vehicle, hardware and site.
