Finn's KEBA EV Chargers Review & Verdict

Finn Peacock has been a Chartered Electrical Engineer since 1998, and is ex-CSIRO

KEBA chargers aren't the prettiest chargers around; although beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But there's more than looks that concern me.

Given comparatively high pricing, no mention of a local contact point or warranty details on the company's website, and the lack of response to various questions we've sent them, in my opinion, there are better brands for Australian EV owners to consider.

If you do decide to buy a KEBA charger, make sure you get one from the c-series so you'll have access to smart charging features.

About KEBA

KEBA, headquartered in Linz, Austria, has been manufacturing automation solutions for industry, banking and service automation since 1968. The firm moved into energy automation and manufacturing EV chargers in 2009.

"Climate Neutral" Chargers

One of the company's claims to fame is making what it says are "climate neutral" devices since 2022. KEBA took stock of the entire lifecycle - from extraction of raw materials to production and disposal – and took measures to reduce or avoid emissions; or compensates for them by investing in certified climate protection projects.

KEBA EV Charger Models

The company's KeContact P30 wallbox family has several variants - the a-series, c-series and x-series. All are accompanied by KEBA's eMobility App to control and manage the wallbox.

KEBA KeContact P30 a-series

The a-series is available in single and three-phase models. These are basic chargers without solar smart charging features, and they come with a 6 metre charging cable.

4.6 kW and 7.4 kW output single phase models
11 kW and 22 kW three-phase models
USB and RJ45 interface
Can work in offline mode where internet access isn't available

KEBA KeContact P30 c-series

The major difference between the a-series and c-series is inclusion of an energy meter and OCPP support, which enables integration with smart home tech, solar power systems and third-party services.

Single and three-phase operation (up to 22kW)
6-metre charging cable.
Programmable display
OCPP support
UDP interface and Modbus TCP
USB and RJ45 connection, LSA+ support

KEBA KeContact P30 x-series

While not really applicable to home scenarios, as well as charging, the x-series enables control of multiple charging points, including dynamic load management. One x-series wallbox can control up to 15 c-series devices.

Single and three-phase operation (up to 22kW)
6-metre charging cable.
Programmable display
OCPP support
UDP interface and Modbus TCP (passive and active), LSA+, UDP interface, USB and RJ45 connection, WLAN interface

You can find out more about these devices and compare them to others on SolarQuotes' EV charger comparison table.

KEBA Warranty Info

If you go looking for warranty documentation on the KEBA website, good luck. We weren't able to find it, and warranty documentation should be front and centre. There also wasn't Australian tech and warranty support contact listed on their site.
