Product Description

The Statiq Nectar is a smart AC charger for homes with a three-phase power supply, sold on Amazon in 11 kW and 22 kW versions. Statiq also runs one of India's larger public EV charging networks, and the Nectar works with the same Statiq app. Both versions have the same features and a 2-year warranty.

11 kW vs 22 kW

Which one should you buy?

It depends on your car's onboard charger, not just on how big the number on the charger is.

Short answer: the 22 kW version is the future-ready choice. It charges every Type 2 EV at the full AC power the car can take, whether that is 7.2 kW single-phase, 11 kW three-phase or 22 kW three-phase. The 11 kW version gives full speed only to cars with an 11 kW three-phase onboard charger. If you change cars later, the 22 kW charger will still deliver the new car's full AC speed.

If your EV has a 7.2 kW single-phase onboard charger, as many EVs sold in India do, buy the 22 kW version. A single-phase car draws power from only one of the three phases. The 11 kW Nectar supplies about 16 A per phase, so the car gets only about 3.7 kW (16 A x 230 V), roughly half its rated speed. The 22 kW version supplies about 32 A per phase, so the same car charges at its full 7.2 kW.

If your EV has an 11 kW three-phase onboard charger, the 11 kW version gives you full speed. The 22 kW version would charge it at the same 11 kW, but it keeps you covered if your next EV charges faster or is a single-phase 7.2 kW car.

If your EV accepts 22 kW AC charging, which few cars in India do, the 22 kW version is the only one that gives you full speed.

Check your car's onboard charger rating, and whether it is single-phase or three-phase, in its spec sheet or owner's manual before you buy. The 22 kW version also needs a higher sanctioned load than the 11 kW version.

Compatibility

Both versions use a Type 2 connector and work with Type 2 EVs from Tata, Mahindra, Hyundai, BMW and other brands. If your home has only a single-phase supply, you need a single-phase charger instead.
