Product Description

Siemens VC30GRYU Versicharge 30-Amp Electric Vehicle Charger with Flexible Indoor/Outdoor Cord

Siemens VersiCharge Electric Vehicle Chargers

Founded more than 165 years ago, Siemens is a worldwide industry leader in electronics and electrical engineering, dedicated to innovation, quality, and reliability in the fields of energy, industry, and healthcare. Standing for technological excellence and delivering infrastructure solutions, Siemens is the world’s chief supplier of environmental technologies, with about 40 percent of its total revenue coming from green products and solutions. VersiCharge is just one more best in class product in the green energy sector to be developed by Siemens.

VersiCharge is available in plug in (VC30GRU) and hard wired options (VC30GRHW) VersiCharge makes it easier than ever to incorporate energy efficient practices into your home
VersiCharge Selection

The Siemens 30-A Level 2 VersiCharge electric vehicle charger is available in two configurations – Hardwire for indoor use only (VC30GRYHW) and Universal which can be used indoors and outside (VC30GRYU). The Universal unit arrives ready to plug in for use into a 240V receptacle and is easily attachable to most surfaces with the provided mounting bracket.

Charging Convenience

Most EV batteries will be charged from zero to full in less than 3.5 hours, leaving plenty of time to delay your charge by 2-8 hours with the easy to use time of charge delay feature on the unit. Additional features like the status indicating LED Halo visible from a distance and a clean cord management solution will leave you even more satisfied when you get into your fully charged EV every day.

Choose Whichever Installation is Right for You

The Universal VersiCharge is equipped with a plug and cord assembly which can either be plugged into a suitably sized double-gang receptacle below or behind the unit. The plug and cord assembly can be detached from the unit for a hardwired installation. For an indoor only hardwire application, we recommend the more cost effective VersiCharge hardwire version (VC30GRYHW). Not only does this easy plug and play installation enable you to take your VersiCharge on the road with you, but it comes equipped with a mounting bracket and other hardware for permanent installation at home in your garage, carport, or parking pad. The weatherproof NEMA 4 enclosure, made of 60 percent recycled material with matte finish, is designed to withstand the elements no matter its location. The unit’s standard SAE J1772 connector is ergonomic for user comfort and an integrated holster keeps debris and dust out of the plug for clean and convenient usage. The attached 20-foot cord (14 foot for Hardwire only) wraps over the top of the enclosure for expedient, clean storage.

Making Energy Efficiency Easy

The VersiCharge is jam packed with user-friendly features that make it easier than ever to efficiently and economically charge your electric vehicle. Monitor the status of your vehicle’s charge with help from the LED color indication halo that’s visible from across the garage and displays the stage at which your charge stands, from ready to charge, to charging, to fully charged. As demand response utility plans increase in popularity, inquire with your utility about utilizing the VersiCharge low voltage connection to enroll your charger in potential savings programs offered by your utility. Further adjust charging status to specifically fit your schedule and electricity bill budget with help from the delay timer functionality, which allows you to postpone charging for up to eight hours from the time of plug-in with the press of a button. Regardless of when you choose to charge, the VersiCharge power output can be adjusted to complement the outlet’s capability, ranging in increments from a maximum power setting of 7.2 kW to 1.8 kW. Plus, by delivering adjustable, extended amperage options, the VersiCharge keeps up with evolving electric vehicle technology, helping to future proof compatibility over time. If you are looking for speed, please refer to the table at the top right of the page to compare the amount of miles charged in a certain time period by your VersiCharge over a Level I charger and other seemingly competitive products.

VersiCharge is a Level 2, 30 Amp Max, providing the fastest level of charging

Well thought out, easy install, works as advertised
5 Stars
Well thought out, easy install, works as advertised
I selected this unit after spending several months charging my i8 with the level 1 charger supplied with the Car. I selected it over the Bosch unit due to reviews here on Amazon even though Bosch "makes" the BMW unit. This unit was easy to install, My electrician installed the required circuit. There are three ways to install it, direct wired, plugged into a flush mounted receptacle behind the unit or plugged in to a surface or flush mounted receptacle below the unit. The installation bracket is clever in that if you choose the flush mount behind the unit option, the bracket provides "hints" to align it to the cover plate to insure that the plug will be properly aligned. This allows you to get the clean look of a direct wired unit with the portability of a plug in unit if you so desire. I chose to install the plug below, much like the picture here. I also got a second bracket, (yes $30 is a bit much for a piece of plastic and a few screws) as I wanted the option to relocate the unit to a second location in the future and the bracket arrangement is very well suited to that possibility .. one screw "locks" the unit to the bracket. Once removed the unit simply lifts off the bracket, it is very well designed. The cord management (wrapping around the unit) works well. The supplied J1772 plug fits my BMW just fine but does not lock into the socket when the car is locked as the BMW supplied unit does, other reviews here mention that. Not a problem for a unit in my garage. The socket on the front of the unit is a bit awkward to use, and in my opinion unnecessary .. I simply drape it over the top. Charge times are vastly improved, 3-4x over the level one charger I was using, allowing a full charge of the I8s modest battery in a couple of hours. The 20 foot cord provides great flexibility if/when I add another EV or choose to park in an different bay. Documentation / installation instructions are supplied on a USB stick or are available on-line. the unit has a soft green halo that glows steady when the car is attached and fully charged and pulses slowly when the car is charging, this feature can be disabled as you choose. I'm quite pleased with the unit thus far, but its early days, I'll be back in a month or so with an update.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great home charging station for the money
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2018
When we bought our 2018 Chevy volt, I basically gave up on trying to look cool, but boy does our home charging station make me look cool. The level 1 charger that came with the vehicle simply wasn’t going to cut it with a 14-16 hour charge time. This station charges our Volt in 4.5 hours.(14kwh capacity on the car) We looked at a few models, and we love ChargePoint and use their stations all the time; there’s one in my office building. This charger was substantially less expensive and performs without any issues whatsoever. We paid an electrician $125 to install it, and still came out with overall savings compared to ChargePoint.

This product works exactly as advertised, simply plug and charge - it’s that easy. Some other models have WiFi control/apps, but you don’t really need those frills. We are on tiered energy, so it’s enough to set the delay button for when we are asleep and at super off-peak. I don’t use my car’s app, so if there was an app for this product, I wouldn’t use it either - and we have a lot of IoT devices in our home.

We opted for the longer cord because of the location of the wall the power box is on. Overall we have used this for almost 6 months, and have recommended it to several of our friends who just purchased plugin hybrids because it’s worked great for us. We spend about 40% what we used to spend on gas after factoring in our energy costs. (3-4miles per kWh. At $0.19/kWh = roughly $1 per 20 miles.) Compared to our Honda Accord which costs $4 for 30 miles, this product paid for itself in less than 6 months. (In California).
