Who This Product Suits
The GW7K-HCA-20 suits Australian homes with a single-phase electrical supply where a dedicated 7 kW EV charging point is required. It is particularly relevant for GoodWe solar and battery installations where the owner wants EV charging to work alongside available solar generation and household energy management. With an IP66-rated charger enclosure and support for indoor or outdoor installation, it can be installed in garages, carports and other suitable charging locations. A licensed electrician should confirm the available supply capacity, circuit protection and load-management requirements before installation.
Specifications Explained
The GW7K-HCA-20 has a nominal output of 7 kW at 230 V and 32 A, with 50/60 Hz operation and an IEC Type 2 charging connection. Charging can be started through the app, RFID or automatic start, while available operating modes include Fast Charging, PV Priority, PV + BATT, Scheduled Charging and Dynamic Load Control. Protection functions include AC 30 mA plus DC 6 mA residual-current protection, overcurrent, overvoltage, over-temperature and ground-fault protection, Type III AC surge protection and integrated emergency power off. The charger uses natural-convection cooling, has an IP66 enclosure rating and supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LAN and dual RS485 communications, along with Modbus TCP.
Summary
The GW7K-HCA-20 is a GoodWe HCA G2 Series single-phase EV charger delivering up to 7 kW from a 230 V, 32 A supply.
