Hoymiles launches 22 kW V2X charger

Hoymiles has launched a 22 kW bidirectional V2X DC charger that plugs into the same residential energy stack as its HiOne All-in-One battery energy storage system, according to a September 8 company release. (prnewswire.com) The move matters because it pushes Hoymiles beyond rooftop solar and storage hardware into the part of home energy management that includes electric vehicles as mobile batteries. In the company’s framing, the charger is meant to let solar generation, stationary storage, EVs and the grid operate as one coordinated system inside the home. (w3oss.hoymiles.com) (hoymiles.com) For a homeowner, the practical point is not just faster charging. The larger pitch is bidirectional power flow: the car can take electricity from the house system, but in supported use cases it can also send electricity back to the home or the grid. (prnewswire.com) ### So what exactly did Hoymiles launch? Hoymiles described the new product as a V2X DC charger with up to 22 kW of bidirectional charging power. The company tied the launch directly to its HiOne All-in-One BESS platform, saying the charger is built for “seamless compatibility” with that system. The model listed on Hoymiles’ product page is the HiOne-22VD-G3. Hoymiles says the unit is part of a broader HiOne lineup that combines inverter, energy management system, modular battery expansion, gateway functions and now a V2X charging module. (prnewswire.com) ### What does V2X mean in this case? Hoymiles says the charger supports vehicle-to-home, or V2H, and vehicle-to-grid, or V2G, functions. (hoymiles.com) That means an EV connected to the charger can act as a flexible energy source rather than only as a load drawing power from the house. The product sheet says the system is designed for “efficient power flow between EV, home, and grid.” Hoymiles also lists a charging voltage range of 200-1000 Vdc, which it says is intended to support compatibility with current and future EVs. (hoymiles.com) ### How does it fit into Hoymiles’ home energy lineup? Hoymiles already sold residential solar and storage products, including AC EV chargers and the HiOne home battery platform. (hoymiles.com) The new launch extends that stack by adding a DC bidirectional charger positioned as part of a single managed ecosystem rather than a standalone accessory. The company says the HiOne platform integrates inverter, battery and energy management functions in one system and pairs that with monitoring through its S-miles Cloud platform. (hoymiles.com) Adding the V2X charger gives Hoymiles a way to include EV charging and discharge inside the same control architecture. ### Why is the 22 kW number the part to watch? (w3oss.hoymiles.com) The 22 kW figure is the top-line power rating Hoymiles is using to market the charger, and it places the product in the category of higher-power residential or light commercial DC charging rather than conventional lower-power home AC charging. That is an inference based on the published specification and Hoymiles’ existing AC charger lineup. (hoymiles.com) Hoymiles’ separate AC EV charger page lists 7 kW, 11 kW and 22 kW AC products. The new V2X unit differs because it is DC and bidirectional, which is the feature set needed for vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid operation.

Hoymiles has already published the September 8 launch release, a product page for the HiOne-22VD-G3 and a charger data sheet with core specifications. The next concrete step for customers and installers is likely to come through those product pages and Hoymiles channel partners, where compatibility, supported vehicles and market availability would typically be detailed. That final point is an inference; the company materials reviewed here do not specify launch markets or pricing. (w3oss.hoymiles.com) (hoymiles.com)
