Overview

Solar-Aware EV Charging for Florida Homes

Most Level 2 EV chargers just pull power from whatever the panel offers, grid or solar. The OCEAN EV Charger, when paired with an EcoFlow OCEAN battery and Smart Panel, prioritizes stored solar power for charging your car before drawing from the grid, which can meaningfully cut the marginal cost of driving on solar rather than FPL, Duke, TECO or LCEC rates.

At up to 11.5 kW, a full charge on most EVs completes overnight, and the unit works as a standalone Level 2 charger even without the rest of the EcoFlow ecosystem if that is all a homeowner needs.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes This Solar-First EV Charging?

Solar-first EV charging Florida drivers get here means the charger prioritizes surplus production from your array before pulling from the grid or the battery.

Does it work without an EcoFlow battery system?

Yes, it functions as a standard 11.5 kW Level 2 charger on its own. The solar prioritization feature requires an EcoFlow OCEAN battery and Smart Panel.

How long does it take to charge an EV with this unit?

At up to 11.5 kW, most EVs charge fully overnight, and many drivers only need a partial daily top-up depending on commute distance.

How much does the EcoFlow OCEAN EV Charger cost installed?

Installed as a universal, non-Tesla charger, it runs $1,800, assuming the charger lands within two feet of your main panel. Longer conduit runs or a panel upgrade cost more.

Will my main panel need an upgrade?

Not always. Many homes have enough spare capacity for a dedicated circuit; when they don't, load management or a panel upgrade solves it, which we confirm during the site visit.
