      "q": "Is the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro tethered or untethered?",

    },
    {
      "q": "How does Hypervolt solar charging work?",
      "a": "Hypervolt lists two solar modes. EcoMode uses solar first and switches to the grid if solar output drops below 1.4 kW. Super EcoMode only uses solar and pauses when it drops below 1.4 kW. One CT clamp is included in the box."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does the Hypervolt need an earth rod?",
      "a": "Hypervolt's installation guide lists integrated PEN fault protection compliant with Amendment 2 of BS 7671:2018. An external Type A RCD is still required. Your installer confirms the earthing arrangement for your property."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does Hypervolt work with Intelligent Octopus Go?",
      "a": "Yes. Octopus lists the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro (and Home 3 and Home 2) as supported for Intelligent Octopus Go (checked 4 October 2026). OVO and E.ON Next also list Hypervolt for Charge Anytime and Next Drive Smart."
    },
    {
      "q": "What warranty does the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro have?",
      "a": "Three years from installation as standard. A 24-month extension, taking cover to five years, can be bought at checkout within 30 days of installation. Hypervolt's installation guide says the unit must be registered as installed within 48 hours to validate the warranty."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which chargers are similar to the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro?",
      "a": "Andersen A3, Andersen Quartz and Cord Zero share the most charger types with it (such as solar charging, cable type and smart tariff listings). They are listed by how many types they share, then A to Z; this is not a ranking. Compare any two side by side on our compare page."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro support V2H or V2G?",
      "a": "No. Hypervolt does not publish vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support for the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro, so it charges the car only."
    },
    {
      "q": "How much does the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro cost?",
      "a": "We do not list prices, because they change often and most people buy a charger fitted, so the price depends on the installer and your home. Ask two or three installers for a fitted price for the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro by name. If you rent, or own a flat with private off-street parking, the EV chargepoint grant can cover 75% of the cost of buying and installing a chargepoint, up to £500."
