Hoymiles launches 22‑kW V2X charger

Hoymiles has added electric-vehicle charging to its residential energy lineup with a new 22-kW V2X DC charger, according to a company announcement published September 7. The product is designed to work with the company’s HiOne all-in-one battery energy storage system, linking rooftop solar, home storage, an EV and the grid in one setup. (prnewswire.com) In plain terms, Hoymiles is pitching the charger as a way to turn the car from a household load into another controllable energy asset. (hoymiles.com) (w3oss.hoymiles.com) What matters most is the “V2X” part. Hoymiles said the charger is bidirectional, meaning power can move both into the vehicle and back out of it. (prnewswire.com) That opens the door to vehicle-to-home and related export use cases, where a parked EV can help cover household demand or participate in broader energy flows depending on local rules and system configuration. That last point is an inference from the product’s stated bidirectional design and grid integration, rather than a separate regulatory claim by the company. (eqs-news.com) The hardware details show where Hoymiles is aiming. The product page and product sheet identify the model as the HiOne-22VD-G3 and say it delivers up to 22 kW of DC bi-directional charging. Hoymiles also lists a 200-1000 Vdc charging voltage range, which the product sheet says is intended to support compatibility with current and future EVs. (eqs-news.com) The charger also fits into a broader platform push. Hoymiles said the new unit is managed through the same app-based ecosystem as its home energy products, giving users one interface to monitor and control the system. The company’s HiOne product materials describe that wider stack as combining inverter, battery and energy management functions, with the V2X charger shown as one of the connected modules in the system. (hoymiles.com) (w3oss.hoymiles.com) That makes this launch more notable as a system product than as a standalone charger. (w3oss.hoymiles.com) Hoymiles had already offered AC EV chargers that could connect with its storage inverter for an integrated PV, storage and EV-charging setup. The September 7 launch extends that approach into bidirectional DC charging, which is the piece needed for using the vehicle battery as an active part of the home energy system. (prnewswire.com) The timing also fills out a product sequence Hoymiles began earlier this year. In February, the company unveiled HiOne, its first all-in-one residential battery storage system, at a launch event in Amsterdam. (hoymiles.com) The HiOne materials say the platform includes inverter, EMS, modular battery expansion and whole-home backup features, and now list the 22-kW V2X charger alongside those components. (hoymiles.com) For homeowners and energy-tech watchers, the practical takeaway is straightforward. Hoymiles is trying to make the EV another node inside the home energy stack rather than a separate appliance. (eqs-news.com) For developers and product teams, it is also a clean example of where residential energy software is heading: one control layer spanning solar generation, stationary storage, charging and export logic. (prnewswire.com) That framing is based on the company’s published system architecture and app-based management claims. (prnewswire.com 1) (prnewswire.com 2) (hoymiles.com)
