SolarEdge’s new EV charger cuts fleet charging costs by 70% with solar smarts

SolarEdge just dropped a new 22kW charger at Intersolar Europe 2025, and it’s aiming to make electric fleet charging a whole lot cleaner and cheaper. The smart energy tech company’s solar-powered EV charger plugs into its commercial solar and battery storage system.

The Level 2 SolarEdge ONE EV Charger is part of an integrated system controlled by SolarEdge’s energy management software, which came out of its acquisition of Wevo Energy last year. With it, businesses can charge their EV fleets using solar power, managed intelligently to cut costs and maximize clean energy use. One of the first beta testers, German office retailer BV-comOffice GmbH, slashed its EV charging costs after installing the system.

“We’ve managed to cut our EV fleet charging costs by around 70% since installing SolarEdge’s PV and EV charging solution,” said BV-comOffice CEO Christoph Vogl. “It’s smart enough to prioritize which vehicles charge when, so our sales reps are always ready to hit the road. Our employees are also really pleased to be charging their cars with clean energy.”

The SolarEdge ONE EV Charger is built to prioritize solar self-consumption. It uses excess solar generation to power up fleets, reducing reliance on pricey grid electricity. It works in both single- and three-phase power modes and automatically switches between them. Its slim, modern design includes snap-on wall mounting and flexible cable entry points, so installation only takes minutes.

But what makes this solution really stand out is the smarts. It calculates the most cost-effective energy source – solar, battery, or grid – in real time, based on energy prices, solar output, and charging schedules. SolarEdge’s inverters support up to 175% DC oversizing, so any extra solar power gets routed to EVs instead of going to waste.

The system also supports what SolarEdge calls “tiered charging modes.” That means businesses can prioritize certain users, such as road-warrior sales teams, to charge whenever they need, even pulling from the grid if solar isn’t available. Other vehicles can be set to charge when the sun’s out.

And it’s scalable, too. The system dynamically adjusts EV charging to avoid overloading a building’s power supply, so companies can run up to 20 times more chargers without upgrading infrastructure.

SolarEdge is also rolling out its ONE software platform for commercial and industrial users. It gives operations teams more tools for remote troubleshooting and configuration, plus real-time alerts to help catch issues before they become downtime. The company launched a new AI phone support agent for EV charging.

CEO Shuki Nir said, “The efficient integration of solar energy and public EV infrastructure is an important building block for more cost-effective and sustainable EV charging – after all, an EV fleet is only as clean as the energy that powers it.”

The residential version of the ONE EV Charger is expected to hit the market in Q3 2025. The new commercial solution is available now globally.
