Supported Versions

The ZJ Beny AC EV charger is available in a number of different variants, each supporting different features. See:

The following models are compatible with Charge HQ

  • Current Models
    • BCP-A2N-P  (Single phase, tethered)
    • BCP-B2N-P (Single phase, socket)
    • BCP-AT2N-P (3 phase, tethered)

    • BCP-BT2N-L OCPP Version (3 phase, socket)

IMPORTANT: The superseded models (ending in -L) were available in either a Smart Version or an OCPP version, each having the same model number. Only the OCPP version is compatible. The smart version does not support OCPP.

The following models do not support OCPP so it is not possible to use them with Charge HQ:

  • BCP-A1-L, BCP-A2-L, BCP-B1-L, BCP-B2-L (1 phase, non-smart)
  • BCP-A1D-L, BCP-A2D-L, BCP-B1D-L, BCP-B2D-L (1 phase, non-smart, DLB)
  • BCP-A1S-L, BCP-A2S-L, BCP-B1S-L, BCP-B2S-L (1 phase, smart, no OCPP)
  • BCP-A1N-L, BCP-B1N-L (1 phase, smart, no RFID)

Notes

DLB / Solar Hardware Kit

The supported models can include an optional (Dynamic Load Balancing) DLB / Solar hardware kit, which allows the charger to perform basic solar charging. This option requires the installation of additional hardware in your meter box (a control box and some CT clamps). If you are planning to use a ZJ Beny charger with Charge HQ, you do not need this additional hardware, provided you have a supported solar inverter or battery.

The DLB kit can be used to manage maximum demand for electricity in a home. The DLB kit can be used in parallel with Charge HQ for this purpose. In such cases the maximum rate of charge will be set to the lower of the charge rate set by the DLB kit OR Charge HQ.

Feature notes

  • ZJ Beny AC charger models which support OCPP do not appear to provide a smart phone App that can be used to directly control the charger.
    - Control most be via an OCPP service such as Charge HQ.
    - Alternately, the charger may be configured in Plug and Charge mode with any scheduling controlled via the vehicle.
