VARTA.iq Compatibility List

Charge your car intelligently and efficiently with green energy

Connect VARTA.iq to your wallbox and boost your contribution to the environment by charging your electric car intelligently. Thanks to compatibility with standard wallboxes, you can customise:

Which energy source your vehicle should use:

Set the power source, timing, duration, and amount of energy for charging integrated devices such as heat pumps and wallboxes.

How much your vehicle should charge:

Minimum charge level, specific charge level or full charge

How your vehicle is charged:

Minimum charging current, constant current or maximum power

Bidirectional charging

With the upgrade to VARTA.iq Pro, you already have the functions you will need tomorrow to optimally coordinate your household energy.

The bidirectional charging function not only allows you to charge your electric car’s battery individually, but also to your home network and use it as an additional smart energy storage solution.

Charge your electric car with surplus solar power that is not needed in the household during the day. In the evening or when solar generation is low, this energy is available to you again – directly from the car.

This allows you to keep even more of the electricity you generate within your own household and reduce your grid consumption and the resulting electricity costs.

Blends perfectly into your home

With VARTA.iq, you have full control over your integrated devices. You can determine the power source, timing, duration and amount of energy for charging integrated devices such as heat pumps and wallboxes. The VARTA.iq.link is compatible with over 700 devices in the Pro package and over 300 devices in the Basic package.
