CT clamps come in the box, the IP65 rating handles exposed outdoor positions, and the unit measures roughly the size of an A5 notebook.

Build Quality and Design

The EO Mini Pro 3 measures 230mm x 151mm x 125mm, roughly the footprint of an A5 notebook. Among the smallest home chargers on the market. IP65 makes it the right choice for an exposed outdoor wall where IP54 units would need a canopy. Connectivity options go beyond most competitors: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a hard-wired Ethernet port, and an optional 4G module. The Ethernet port solves a real installation problem when the charging point is too far from the router for reliable Wi-Fi.

Installation

You need a 32A dedicated circuit. The CT clamps for solar diversion come in the box, no extras to source or purchase. Most solar-compatible chargers charge extra for these or require them as a separate order. The EO Mini Pro 3 is OZEV-approved, qualifying for the EV Chargepoint Grant where eligible.

Charging Speed

7.2kW on a standard single-phase supply, adding around 25 miles of range per hour. The 0.2kW difference from the 7.4kW standard makes no practical difference in daily use. Both charge the same car in the same overnight window.

Solar Charging

The CT clamps connect to your solar system and feed live generation data to the charger. In solar priority mode, the EO Mini Pro 3 draws from surplus generation first and pulls from the grid when output drops below the minimum. On overcast days the charger supplements with grid power to keep the session moving. Setup comes ready to install from the box.

App and Smart Features

The EO app covers charging history, energy monitoring, session scheduling, and remote control. You can set schedules around off-peak tariff windows for overnight grid charging when solar is not available.

Key Benefits

• CT clamps for solar diversion included as standard
• IP65 weatherproofing, suitable for exposed outdoor positions
• Among the smallest home chargers on the market
• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, and optional 4G connectivity
• Tethered and untethered versions
• OZEV grant eligible

Things to Consider

• 7.2kW output rather than the 7.4kW standard, negligible in practice
• Three-year warranty
• Fewer smart tariff integrations than Ohme or Hypervolt

Verdict

The EO Mini Pro 3 is the right choice for drivers who want solar diversion and the smallest possible footprint on the wall. CT clamps in the box removes a hidden cost, and IP65 opens up installation positions that other chargers cannot use. For buyers where compactness and solar capability both matter, this is the most complete package at the price.
