Hoymiles launches 22 kW V2X charger

Hoymiles said on September 7 that it had launched a 22 kW V2X DC charger built to work with its HiOne All-in-One battery energy storage system, adding electric vehicles to the company’s residential energy lineup. The Hangzhou-based company said the charger is designed to connect solar generation, home storage, EV charging and the grid in one system. (prnewswire.com) Hoymiles described the product as a bidirectional charger, meaning power can move not only into the vehicle but also back out of it for home or grid use. The release places the product in a part of the market where home energy storage and EV charging are increasingly being sold together rather than as separate devices. (hoymiles.com) Hoymiles said the charger works “seamlessly” with HiOne and framed the launch as an extension of its integrated home energy ecosystem into electric mobility. ### What exactly did Hoymiles launch? Hoymiles launched a DC charger rated at 22 kilowatts under the HiOne-22VD-G3 product name, according to its product page. The company said the unit is a V2X charger, shorthand for vehicle-to-everything, covering bidirectional energy exchange between an EV and other parts of the energy system. (prnewswire.com) The September 7 release said the charger is intended to complete the company’s integrated home energy ecosystem. Hoymiles said that ecosystem combines solar, battery storage, EVs and the grid so homeowners can manage how electricity is generated, stored and used.

The product is a DC charger rather than a conventional AC home charger, which matters because home batteries and EV battery packs both operate around direct current internally. Hoymiles said the charger removes an additional AC/DC conversion stage, which it said can reduce charging losses. (hoymiles.com) A secondary claim from the company was speed. Hoymiles said a conventional AC charger adds about 35 kilometers of driving range in an hour, versus roughly 110 kilometers from its 22 kW V2X charger under the company’s stated conditions. That comparison comes from company materials and was not independently verified. (prnewswire.com) ### What does V2X enable inside a home energy system? Hoymiles said the charger’s bidirectional capability allows an EV to act as an additional energy resource for the home. In practice, that means stored energy in a vehicle battery can be sent back to support household loads in vehicle-to-home use cases, or exported outward in vehicle-to-grid configurations where local rules, utility programs and vehicle compatibility allow. (saurenergy.com) The company’s wording stops short of naming automaker partners or listing compatible vehicle models in the material surfaced on September 8. The product page and release instead focus on system-level integration with the HiOne All-in-One BESS. (saurenergy.com) ### How does this fit with Hoymiles’ broader product push? Hoymiles’ newsroom lists the V2X charger launch as a product release dated September 7, following other home-energy announcements in August and early September. Those entries include updates tied to whole-home backup, plug-in solar products and regional storage approvals, showing the company has been adding pieces around residential generation and storage. The charger adds the EV link to that stack. (eqs-news.com) Hoymiles said the new unit extends the home energy ecosystem into electric mobility rather than standing alone as a separate charger product.

The next concrete step is product-level detail from Hoymiles on rollout, including market availability, vehicle compatibility and installation requirements, none of which were specified in the September 7 release excerpts surfaced in search results. The company’s newsroom and the HiOne-22VD-G3 product page are the named places where those updates would be expected to appear. (prnewswire.com) (hoymiles.com)
