What I noticed
Project EV is a UK distributor and brand that has carved out the value segment with smart-feature-complete chargers at noticeably lower prices than premium brands. The Apex 7S is their flagship 7.3kW single-phase wall unit with an integrated RFID reader, OCPP 1.6 support, and app-based scheduling.
Built-in DC fault protection (Type B RCD equivalent) means installation doesn't require an external Type B RCD — saving £80-150 in install costs. The 4G variant adds cellular connectivity for installs without reliable WiFi.
Who it suits
Budget-conscious households who want smart-charging features (scheduling, app, RFID) without paying premium-brand prices. Also strong for multi-charger commercial-light installs where OCPP back-end management matters.
What I'd watch for
Solar-divert is not a strong feature — for solar-first households, look at Zappi or Hypervolt instead. App polish is below premium brands. UK installer familiarity is growing but still patchy outside major cities. 7.3kW (not 7.4kW) — minor.
