Evnex launches Australia's first home EV charger with 'grid now, solar later' flexibility

2025-11-24 05:55 Last Updated At:06:15

Built for cost-conscious EV drivers using grid energy today, with an easy software upgrade path if they add solar later

SYDNEY, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Smart EV charger manufacturer Evnex has today launched the E2 Flex - the most affordable charger in the range, and Australia's first home charger built for grid use now, with no extra hardware needed to enable solar later.

With around two thirds of Australian households still without rooftop solar (Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water), the E2 Flex lets users start with grid power now and roll in solar integration later via a simple software upgrade.

Combining both immediate affordability and long-term flexibility, the E2 Flex is Evnex's most affordable smart home charger, designed to help households cut costs without losing access to key smart features. 

Evnex CEO Ed Harvey says the E2 Flex was designed for Australians seeking quality and value, with introductory pricing of just $649 for a limited time.

"Many EV owners want to start with simple, safe, cost-effective home charging that gets them to a full battery fast," said Harvey.

"The E2 Flex meets those needs perfectly: it charges up to four times faster than a standard wall socket, has built-in home overload protection, and enables smart off-peak scheduling, all at a more sensible price than comparable smart chargers."

"Flexibility is in the name," Harvey said. "Users can start simple, and if they install solar later, the upgrade is seamless."

Unlike many entry-level EV chargers on the market, the E2 Flex includes built-in home overload protection. This safety feature monitors household electricity demand and automatically slows or pauses charging if the system detects risk of overloading. As more homeowners default to lower-cost options that often lack this safeguard, the E2 Flex, and all Evnex chargers, offer peace of mind that their home is protected.

The new E2 Flex comes ahead of the Federal Government's new Solar Sharer program, rolling out from July 2026. The program gives eligible homes in NSW, SE Queensland, and SA three hours of free electricity during the day. With its higher power output, the E2 Flex helps EV drivers take full advantage of this - fitting more charging into those free hours than standard chargers.

Combined with smart scheduling, the E2 Flex smart charger ensures charging aligns with the Solar Sharer free hours of electricity, even without rooftop solar. For households with solar, the E2 Core and E2 Plus take it further, enabling solar-smart charging that maximises excess generation to extend free charging well beyond the three-hour window.

New Zealand-made and supported locally, the E2 Flex includes a four-year residential warranty and expert local customer support. It is compatible with all major EV brands and can be installed by any licensed electrician, with Evnex also offering fully installed options through its installer network.

Chris Keenan, General Manager of Smillie Electrical, says, "We've observed that many customers are turning to cheaper chargers due to the tough economic conditions in Australia without fully understanding the importance of key features such as home overload protection, choosing price over safety."

The E2 Flex is available now across Australia via Evnex.com.au, with Evnex certified installation options available nationwide.

Two-Day Summit at Rosewood Amsterdam, October 7–8, 2026, to Convene the World's Leading Litigation Funders, Law Firms, General Counsels, and Institutional Investors

AMSTERDAM, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LITFINCON, the global litigation finance conference series created by Silstone Capital, today announced the launch of LITFINCON Europe, a two-day summit bringing the world's most influential litigation finance community together in Amsterdam on October 7–8, 2026. The event will be held at Rosewood Amsterdam, one of the city's most distinguished luxury hotels, marking LITFINCON's formal entry into the European market. The Rosewood Amsterdam provides a fitting backdrop for the conference as the historic building once served as Amsterdam's Palace of Justice – the city's main courthouse. LITFINCON Europe will reestablish this venue as a vibrant hub for legal dialogue and networking.

LITFINCON Europe follows the series' debut events in Houston and the upcoming inaugural Asia edition at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on June 4, 2026. The European edition expands LITFINCON into the world's most dynamic litigation finance regulatory environment, as the UK, EU, and individual member states grapple with transformative questions about disclosure requirements, funder returns, and the future of third-party funding across the continent.

 "The regulatory environment is evolving rapidly across the UK and EU, capital is flowing into the space at an unprecedented rate, and the demand for high-quality, senior dialogue has never been higher," said Robert Le, Co-Founder of Siltstone Capital.

Conference Program
Across eleven panels over two days, LITFINCON Europe moves from the macro to the granular — opening with a global market overview before examining the regulatory divergence reshaping how funders, law firms, general counsels, and institutional investors operate across the UK, EU, and US. The program addresses the structural mechanics of European deal-making, including the distinct dynamics of loser-pays cost regimes, ATE insurance integration, and portfolio financing, alongside deep dives into collective redress, international arbitration, and cross-border enforcement.

The second day turns to the investment and innovation questions defining the industry's next chapter: how institutional allocators — pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices — are assessing European litigation finance funds; the convergence of ATE insurance and third-party funding; the Unified Patent Court's emergence as a major new venue for funded IP disputes; and the competitive implications of AI adoption under GDPR and EU AI Act constraints. The conference closes with an unscripted, 75-minute Candid Conversations session — no slides, no prepared remarks — where industry veterans reflect honestly on what Europe gets right, wrong, and differently from the rest of the world.

Venue: Rosewood Amsterdam
Rosewood Amsterdam occupies a series of five interconnected 19th-century palace buildings along the Herengracht, one of Amsterdam's most storied canal rings. Its location in the heart of Amsterdam's historic center positions it as one of Europe's premier settings for high-level conferences and private events.

"LITFINCON has built its reputation on bringing the right people into the right room. The Rosewood hotel in Amsterdam reflects the standard we set for every event in this series — an environment where senior professionals can have honest, substantive conversations away from the noise," said Jim Batson, CIO – Legal Finance, Siltstone Capital.
