Untethered 22kW EV chargers have a Type 2 socket rather than a fixed cable, so drivers bring their own lead and one charge point suits every vehicle. On a commercial site that is almost always the right choice — nothing hangs off the unit to be damaged or stolen, and the bay stays tidy. We stock 40 untethered 22kW chargers from £469, including the Rolec EVO (£469), NexBlue Edge (£599), Easee 22kW (£688), Teltonika EVC2 (£690) and NexBlue Delta Max with MID metering (£715). Free UK delivery and trade pricing on multi-unit orders.
Three reasons. Any vehicle can use it, because the driver supplies a cable matched to their own car. There is nothing permanently attached to steal, damage or trip over, which matters in a public or shared car park far more than on a private driveway. And the unit is cheaper to maintain — a damaged tethered cable means a service visit, while a damaged driver's cable is the driver's problem. The trade-off is that a driver arriving without a cable cannot charge.
How much do untethered 22kW chargers cost?
Prices start at £469 for the Rolec EVO, one of the best value 22kW units available. The NexBlue Edge is £599, the Easee 22kW £688 and the Teltonika EVC2 £690 — both of the latter with 4G built in, which keeps them online in car parks and basements where Wi-Fi does not reach. For billing-accurate metering, the NexBlue Delta Max is £715 and the Sevadis MaxiCharger Gen 2 Digital £840. All prices include free UK delivery.
Do drivers need their own cable?
Yes — a Type 2 to Type 2 lead, which most EV owners carry as standard because the majority of public and workplace charge points are untethered. If your site serves visitors who may not have one, either provide a small number of tethered bays alongside, or keep spare cables at reception. We stock Type 2 charging cables from £105, and a 22kW cable also works on 7kW chargers, so it is the more flexible option for anyone buying one.
Are untethered chargers grant eligible?
Yes — 22kW commercial chargers qualify under the Workplace Charging Scheme, worth up to £350 per socket, capped at 40 sockets, for businesses, charities and public sector organisations. The grant covers 75% of the purchase and installation cost up to that cap, and dual socket units count as two sockets — up to £700 on a single unit.
Do I need three-phase power?
Yes. 22kW requires a three-phase supply, which most commercial premises have and most homes do not. Fitted to single phase, a 22kW charger delivers 7.4kW — it works, but you have paid for capacity you cannot use. It is also worth checking the vehicles: many EVs have an onboard AC charger capped at 7kW or 11kW and will draw only that from a 22kW unit. Read our guide to three-phase power and 22kW charging.
