Andersen Quartz 7kW Tethered EV Charger – 8.5m Cable | Solar & Tariff Ready

Andersen Quartz 7kW Tethered (8.5m) — Extra Reach, Maximum Elegance

The Andersen Quartz 7kW Tethered (8.5m) is designed for homes that need more cable reach — think double-width bays, deeper driveways, or EVs with rear-mounted inlets — while preserving the Quartz range’s minimalist, architectural look. Built in Britain from premium metals with marine-grade fixings, it’s engineered for year-round outdoor use and understated enough for front-facing installs.

The integrated 8.5-metre Type 2 cable winds neatly into the body of the unit, so there are no trailing leads or wall hooks. You get instant, one-handed plug-in convenience with the clean, cable-free aesthetic that sets Andersen apart.

Smart Features & Energy Savings

Quartz helps you charge for less and with fewer emissions. Its smart controls align charging with cheaper off-peak tariffs and prioritise surplus solar generation, so you top up when energy is cleanest and cheapest.

• Tariff-aware charging: Works with popular UK plans such as Octopus Intelligent Go (compatible vehicle required), OVO Charge Anytime and more.
• Solar integration: Automatically diverts surplus PV to your EV to maximise self-consumption and reduce grid import.
• Flexible control: Schedule sessions, enable eco/solar-only modes, apply a one-tap boost, and monitor usage in the app.
• Load balancing: Protects your main fuse by modulating charge when other high-draw appliances are running.

For even greater savings, pair Quartz with home energy storage or a hybrid inverter from trusted brands available at Evergy.

Safety & Compliance

Safety is built into every Andersen Quartz charger. Fully compliant with the latest UK Smart Charging Regulations, this model ensures both homeowners and installers can be confident in its performance. By integrating PEN fault detection, the Quartz eliminates the need for an earth rod, reducing installation complexity and cost.

• PEN fault protection: No earth rod required, simplifying installation and improving safety.
• Smart regulation-ready: Fully meets 2025 Smart Charge Point requirements, including grid-friendly charging features.
• Load management: Protects your household fuse board by automatically adjusting output.
• Certified durability: Rated IP65 and IK10 for safe, secure outdoor operation in any UK weather.

These protections make the Quartz 8.5m model as reliable for installers as it is safe for homeowners.

Design & Materials

The Andersen Quartz is crafted in Britain with the same focus on aesthetics and durability that has defined Andersen chargers since launch. Unlike plastic-bodied wallboxes, Quartz is made from powder-coated aluminium with marine-grade stainless steel fixings, ensuring it withstands rain, frost, salt air and impacts.

• Discreet tethered design: The 8.5m cable retracts into the body of the charger, keeping driveways tidy.
• Premium finishes: Choose from 16+ curated colours, including greys, greens, wood effects, and Andersen’s unique Carbon texture.
• Weather resistance: IP65 water/dust protection and IK10 impact resistance for long-term durability.
• Minimalist styling: No flashing LEDs, bulky fixings, or visible cables — just clean, architectural lines.
• British-built quality: Sustainably manufactured, quality tested, and backed by a 3-year warranty.

Whether you’re fitting it to a modern townhouse or a traditional property, the Quartz 8.5m blends in seamlessly while delivering premium convenience.
