Hoymiles releases 22kW V2X charger

Hoymiles said on September 7 that it launched a 22 kW V2X DC charger designed to work with its HiOne All-in-One battery energy storage system, adding electric-vehicle charging and discharging to its residential energy lineup. The Hangzhou-based company said the charger is bidirectional, allowing energy to move between an EV and the home rather than only from the grid into the car.

The product arrives as Hoymiles continues to build out the HiOne platform, which the company markets as an integrated package of inverter, battery and energy management system components. (hoymiles.com) On its product pages, Hoymiles shows the V2X charger alongside modular battery units, a gateway for whole-home backup and its S-Miles Cloud monitoring platform. ### How does the new charger fit into Hoymiles’ home-energy system? Hoymiles said the charger is intended to operate “seamlessly” with the HiOne All-in-One BESS, rather than as a standalone EV charger. The company said that pairing is meant to extend the home-energy system from solar and storage into electric mobility. (prnewswire.com) The HiOne product family already combines inverter, battery and energy management functions in one system, according to Hoymiles’ website. The company says the platform can be expanded with modular batteries and connected to monitoring and backup hardware, which places the new charger inside a broader managed household-energy setup.

Hoymiles said the charger supports bidirectional energy flow, which means an electric vehicle can act as an additional energy resource for the home. In the company’s description, that allows coordinated charging and discharging across solar panels, the battery system, the EV and the grid. (prnewswire.com) The HiOne-22VD-G3 product page says the charger enables “bidirectional energy flow” and is designed for “a smarter and more flexible home energy solution.” Hoymiles did not, in the materials reviewed, name specific compatible vehicle models or markets for rollout. (hoymiles.com) ### Why is 22 kW the key number here? Hoymiles lists 22 kW as the charger’s maximum output power on its HiOne product page. That figure is also the centerpiece of the launch announcement and the clearest specification attached to the release. The charger is described by Hoymiles as a DC unit, which distinguishes it from lower-power AC home chargers commonly used for overnight charging. (prnewswire.com) The company did not publish pricing in the materials reviewed. ### What hardware and software pieces sit around it? (hoymiles.com) Hoymiles’ website places the V2X charger inside a stack that includes the HiOne inverter and EMS, modular battery packs, a gateway for whole-home backup and the S-Miles Cloud monitoring platform. That presentation shows the charger as one node in a system that can be monitored and managed through connected hardware and software. (prnewswire.com) Hoymiles said in its release that the system is intended to give homeowners more control over how they generate, store and use energy. The company’s newsroom lists the charger launch as a September 7 product release, and the product page for the HiOne-22VD-G3 is already live. ### What comes next from Hoymiles? (prnewswire.com) Hoymiles’ newsroom shows the V2X charger as part of a run of recent residential-energy announcements, including new whole-home backup products in August and a HiOne approval notice for Australia in mid-August. The company has not, in the materials reviewed, given a shipment date, launch price or country-by-country availability for the 22 kW charger. The next concrete reference point is Hoymiles’ own product and newsroom pages, where the charger is listed as the HiOne-22VD-G3 and grouped with the rest of the HiOne ecosystem.
