Hoymiles launches 22 kW V2X charger

1/ Hoymiles has added a 22 kW bidirectional DC charger to its residential energy lineup, pairing it with the company’s HiOne all-in-one battery energy storage system. The launch was announced on Sept. 7-8, 2026 in company-backed releases. (prnewswire.com) 2/ The product matters because it is not just an EV charger. Hoymiles is positioning it as a V2X device — meaning power can move both into the vehicle and back out again for home or grid use. (prnewswire.com) 3/ In practice, that means three use cases in one setup: charging an EV from the home energy system, sending power from the EV to the house in a vehicle-to-home setup, and exporting power in vehicle-to-grid scenarios. (prnewswire.com) 4/ Hoymiles says the charger works with its HiOne All-in-One BESS, which combines inverter, battery and energy management functions in one residential platform. The company launched HiOne earlier in 2026 as its home storage flagship. (hoymiles.com) 5/ The company’s pitch is ecosystem control. With the charger added, Hoymiles says solar generation, storage, energy management and electric mobility can operate as one coordinated household system rather than as separate devices. (prnewswire.com) 6/ One technical point Hoymiles emphasizes is that this is a DC charger, not an AC-coupled setup. In the company’s product material, it says direct DC charging from PV and battery storage to the EV avoids extra AC/DC conversion steps and reduces charging losses. (tmcnet.com) 7/ The charger is rated for up to 22 kW of bidirectional DC charging, according to Hoymiles product documents and release text. That places it in the category of relatively high-power residential charging hardware, especially for homes already built around storage. (w3oss.hoymiles.com) 8/ Hoymiles also says the unit supports a 200-1000 V DC charging range. That wide voltage range is meant to improve compatibility across current and future EV platforms, based on the company’s specification sheet. (w3oss.hoymiles.com) 9/ The broader idea behind V2X is simple: the EV battery stops being only a transport asset and becomes part of the home’s electricity architecture. When paired with rooftop solar and a stationary battery, the car can serve as another flexible energy reservoir. (prnewswire.com) 10/ For homeowners, the most concrete appeal is backup and load shifting. In a vehicle-to-home setup, stored energy in the car could support household loads during outages or during periods when grid electricity is expensive, assuming the vehicle and local rules support it. Hoymiles specifically markets the system around backup and intelligent energy use. (theevreport.com) 11/ For utilities and aggregators, the more ambitious angle is vehicle-to-grid. That would let EVs discharge back to the grid or into grid services programs, though real-world participation still depends on utility programs, regulation and vehicle compatibility beyond the charger itself. The company says the charger supports V2G scenarios; deployment conditions will vary by market. (prnewswire.com) 12/ This launch also shows where residential energy vendors are competing: not only on standalone solar inverters or batteries, but on integrated stacks. Hoymiles already sells solar and storage products, and the V2X charger fills the EV link in that chain. (hoymiles.com) 13/ HiOne itself is marketed with whole-home backup, modular battery expansion and cloud monitoring, so the charger is being slotted into an existing software-and-hardware platform rather than introduced as a separate accessory. (hoymiles.com) 14/ The release does not, at least in the materials surfaced here, spell out pricing, country-by-country availability, or a list of compatible EV models. Those details are important because V2H/V2G capability often depends on vehicle support as much as charger support. (prnewswire.com) 15/ So the story here is less “Hoymiles made a charger” than “Hoymiles is trying to make the EV a native part of the home energy system.” The hardware spec is 22 kW, but the commercial message is integration across solar, storage, management software and mobility. (prnewswire.com) 16/ The next thing to watch is whether Hoymiles publishes market rollout details, pricing, and certified vehicle compatibility lists for the HiOne-linked V2X charger. Those will determine how quickly this moves from product announcement to deployable home energy package. (hoymiles.com)
