EDITOR'S QUOTE:

AC coupling capabilities make the Anker Solix F3800 a revolutionary next step in sustainable home power, but paired with its massive 6,000W output, wide range of connections, and expandable capacity, this power station is the most future-proofed on the market.

Almost three years ago, a winter storm blew through my town, knocking out power lines and rendering roads impossible to navigate. As a result, my family and I spent a full week (well, five days) rummaging around for crackers and water, lighting candles, and wrapping ourselves in blankets for simple warmth through the duration of the total blackout. Despite keeping a decent fire going in our backyard for a couple of days, it was impossible to stay focused on anything, and working in those conditions wasn’t viable. Enduring those freezing temperatures would’ve been far more convenient with a backup power source, and I wish I’d had Anker’s newest portable power station: the Anker SOLIX F3800, which — despite being the very first of its kind I’ve ever owned — is clearly a revolutionary next step in the growing landscape of backup power solutions. It features a maximum 6000W AC output, 120V/240V dual-voltage (meaning it can do what a gas generator does, power several appliances at the same time, and even power a house!). It even supports AC coupling when pairing with the Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel, and, used sparingly, its 3.8kWh (expandable up to 53.8kWh) capacity would’ve been just enough to sustain a handful of comforts through the winter freeze.

Before we get started with the nitty gritty details about the Anker SOLIX F3800, it’s worth mentioning Anker provided a functional prototype to Yanko Design for the purpose of this review. It includes all the features of the official launch product, but its appearance and craftsmanship does not reflect the final build quality, which is supposed to be much better than the prototype shown in this review.

Designer: Anker

Aesthetics

For a modular power station designed to provide backup power storage for homes and RVs, make solar power more accessible for all, and potentially replace gas generators — the Anker SOLIX F3800 is relatively compact. It’s also quieter than any regular gas generator, and since it doesn’t emit any smoke, you can safely run it indoors. Because of a sizable but effective fan system, you’re going to hear a little noise, around 45dB if you’re standing within a meter, but it’s no louder than a PlayStation 4 running on full blast. YMMV, but I imagine it’ll be a better fit for regular outdoor use during non-emergency situations — particularly, once summer rolls back around and I can use it to power indoor gadgets like musical instruments and gaming consoles underneath the patio rather than inside the house.

The F3800’s subdued aesthetic style — it being a big gray rectangular box on wheels with an LCD display, a pull-out handle, and visible outlets on the front and both sides — allows it to blend in naturally with other electrical equipment, but it may get in the way of any aesthetic style not complementary to dark gray. I wouldn’t stick it in a kitchen, though it’s an attractive addition to a garage, and you might get away with planting it in your office.

After all, it’s essentially a big suitcase full of electrical equipment. No, it’s not as compact as, say, the Anker 767 Portable Power Station. But it still gets the job done, and it doesn’t take up all that much space. Right now, my SOLIX F3800 is tucked in-between a coat rack and a couple of shelves in my office, where it’ll stay until I need to stroll it back out again, and I genuinely love how easy it is to set up.

Utilitarian design pervades the layout of the Anker SOLIX F3800, and, I mean, yeah — you’re definitely not getting a $3,999 power station to make a fashion statement — but what it lacks in artistic appeal, it more than makes up for in functional design. Its predominantly matte finish, easy-to-navigate exterior, exposed fan grills, and conveniently-placed handles and wheels make it exude a sense of durability and reliability.

Ergonomics/Comfort

I had a rough time getting the SOLIX F3800 off my porch and into an area where I could comfortably unbox it, set it upright, and wheel it around. Granted, I’ve been needing to hit the gym lately so my inability to carry it around without immediately wanting to place it back on the ground again could be a “me” issue. But, just so you know, this thing is an absolute unit. It’s rated to weigh 132 lbs, though the package mine arrived in was a bit heavier than that — around 143 lbs in total. If you’re planning to order one of these to your house from Anker’s online store, make sure you have a pallet or some sort of luggage dolly on standby, as well as a second pair of hands to help you transport/set it up.

At least there’s a solid handle built into the SOLIX F3800’s chassis, as well as a pull-out trolley handle that unfolds with the tap of a bright blue button. Once the pull-out trolley handle came out, this thing suddenly became a lot easier to maneuver around. This is because its 65 mm back wheels and additional front wheels are more than sufficient to push and pull the thing around on smooth surfaces, and it even seemed to have no trouble with some rocky terrain as well. If you wanted to carry the Anker SOLIX F3800 around like a cooler (if you have the physical strength, that is), you’d be in luck; there is an additional handle located on the bottom, allowing you to two-hand-carry it.

Everything important information-wise is located on the front LCD panel, though you can also connect your smartphone to the device via the Anker App. It’s a simple enough process getting it set up; all you need is an Anker account and a smartphone with Bluetooth, and you can tell the app to sync with the SOLIX F3800 as long as it’s powered on, and as long the Bluetooth mode is activated. You can do that by tapping the Bluetooth button on the front of the device itself, neatly located right next to the display. Once it’s all set up, you can watch the flow of energy coming into and going out of the SOLIX F3800 directly from the Anker App. This is a neat and convenient way to stay on top of your energy usage, especially when you need to conserve energy during a blackout.

One thing I love is how easy it is to get the Anker SOLIX F3800 set up and going as a portable generator. Plugging it into my wall outlet, getting it fully charged, and powering on the unit itself was a really simple and rather quick process. On paper, it will take less than 3 hours to charge the power station to full from a wall outlet, as long as it is getting full power and not charging under extreme temperatures. Once I was ready to use it, I only had to tap two buttons: the power button on the front of the power station next to the display, and a separate AC outlet button on its right side (conveniently located next to its array of six 120V 20A outlets and two 240V 25A plugs).

Performance

From a performance standpoint, the Anker SOLIX F3800 breaks through the ceiling and into a whole new tier. Electric portable power stations simply don’t do what the Anker SOLIX F3800 does, and before now, there’s been little reason to get rid of the gas generator altogether. If you want to use it as a backup generator, you can. If you want to expand it with the Solix Home Power Panel and make it the storage battery in a far more sophisticated power setup that balances grid and rooftop solar power through the main electrical panel, you can set it up that way as well; and it’s made even easier to manage if you use the Anker App.

Boasting a power load capacity ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 watts (the latter is only possible if you hook up a second F3800), it flies high above other portable power stations from EcoFlow or Jackery — as well as anything Anker has ever placed onto the market previously. Its 240V 25A NEMA 15-40 outlets grant it the ability to power RVs and recharge electric vehicles, making it extraordinarily versatile, and common sense indicates that if you need to power something, you probably can. This alone makes the SOLIX F3800 the heaviest-hitting portable electric power station around. The question is whether or not you can power something for a long time.

Luckily, the Anker SOLIX F3800 is also one of the most scalable power stations in existence. It comes with a base storage capacity of 3.8kWh, which is generally enough to power a 1500W space heater for about two and a half hours. Of course, that’s not enough to sustain heat throughout a multiple-day blackout like the one I experienced, but unlike other power stations, this device can be upgraded to 26.880kWh with all six expansion batteries installed. That’s at least enough to power the same heater for over a day.

If you wanna go even further and reach a staggering 53.8kWh of power storage capacity, you can go all-in and connect a second Anker SOLIX F3800 via the Anker SOLIX Double Power Hub. Alternatively, you can link two F3800 units together via the Home Power Panel. That sets the F3800 apart from its predecessor, the F2000, which had a comparatively meager capacity of 2kWh with only one slot for an expansion battery, totaling 4.09kWh. Just note you’ll need to invest in 12 expansion batteries to make the most of this system, and that could run you well into the tens of thousands.

Sustainability/Repairability/Durability

Anker is a respectable brand with a lot going for it, and that’s because it’s constantly pushing out high-quality, durable power banks and power stations. Its LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery makes it notably longer-lasting than conventional lithium ion-based batteries used in older portable power tech; Anker promises at least 3,000 charge cycles up to 80% before this thing starts to die. That also enhances its sustainability rating by avoiding the use of cobalt and nickel. Plus, when you compare it to much larger and more expensive home power systems, it’s obviously a far more sustainable choice.

The need for separate hardware and additional batteries to get the absolute best utility out of the F3800 could absolutely be considered a drawback in terms of sustainability. But again, that’s not such a big deal when you realize a fully-upgraded Anker SOLIX F3800 system wouldn’t do nearly as much harm to the environment as legacy solutions with the same power output.

In terms of repairability, the F3800’s construction is complex and full of parts I don’t understand, and so I wouldn’t attempt to service it myself during a system failure. There are a few silver linings here: it comes with a 5-year warranty and is rated to work for 10 years or longer. Plus, it’s advertised as being simple for an electrician to set up and work with when coupling it with a house.

Value for Money

I’m iffy about making a hard call on the SOLIX’s value for its $3,999 MSRP (though there is currently a substantial discount of up to 35% off on Kickstarter on a number of Anker SOLIX F3800 deals — dropping the price of the standalone unit to $2,599, and giving excellent value on bundles including Anker’s 200W and 400W solar panels). On one hand, it’s pricier than the smaller generators, even though having the Anker SOLIX F3800 in my possession opens up more lifestyle options. The other reason is solar panels are still not widespread enough, even though you don’t really need solar panels to get the maximum value out of the F3800. Going in on an Anker SOLIX F3800 is making an investment into the future — especially since its heaviest-hitting feature is its ability to store a large quantity of solar power and convert that power into 240V AC output for home, RV, and EV usage.

While its initial price is eye-watering (at least, for me), the potential benefit of saving money over a much longer time with a fully-equipped SOLIX system, solar panels and all, could make the expenditure worthwhile. Especially for those actually living in RVs and tiny homes where utilities are significantly more important to stretch out. And, even in the much shorter term for a suburban house dweller like myself, the SOLIX F3800 is a sturdy backup power source — its base 3.8kWh storage capacity and 6,000W AC output are enough to make camping trips and natural disasters more bearable.

Even if there’s no emergency need for power, and even if you don’t plan to upgrade your Anker SOLIX F3800 with all the extra bells and whistles, you can still roll it outside during a sunny day and use it like any portable generator. Plus, you don’t necessarily need a fully-equipped SOLIX system (with the home power panel and all) to recharge the F3800 with solar energy either. The home power panel is just a tool to help the F3800 access larger rooftop solar panels, and you don’t even need that to make good use of the SOLIX system. In fact, if you bring the F3800 outdoors, as long as you also bring a portable solar panel to recharge it, you can have sustainable green power to do virtually anything you’d use power for. This is because the F3800 can be recharged by connecting to almost any rigid or portable solar panel available on the market.

Verdict

The Anker Solix F3800 is a revolutionary next step in sustainable home power, though it may not become a daily power source until you start buying solar panels. Thankfully solar is getting cheaper, and that’s certainly not the only reason you’d want to get one. This is the most future-proofed portable power station on the market right now, thanks both to its incredible portability for a home power system as well as its overwhelmingly strong performance. I love its 6,000W~12,000 and 120/240V AC output capabilities, its 53.8kWh maximum power capacity, and its ability to recharge itself via solar panels (up to 2,400W via XT-60 input) and then channel that same power into a house, an RV, an electric vehicle, or just about any appliance I can think of. That all means it meets the electricity needs of many day-to-day users, and its ability to provide a large dose of backup power during a disaster makes it a critical piece of equipment to have around. Plus, it’s simple and easy to use — requiring zero technical knowledge to charge it from a wall outlet or begin using it as a portable backup power generator. That all represents a meaningful push into the future, especially considering its first-in-class 240V AC power coupling makes it a direct competitor to home power systems that weigh significantly more and are significantly less portable. But when you want to use it like a portable backup generator, you can power it with any electricity source and it produces no emissions. That makes it a standout choice for homeowners seeking a reliable backup power source that’s both portable and versatile.

This gorgeous Ferrari EV Charger pays tribute to the Italian marque’s design legacy

A perfect blend of the old tradition with a new vision.

Designed originally as a visual language exercise, this Ferrari EV charger really does get the heart and engine racing. The charger pays tribute to Ferrari’s roots with a design language that borrows from the curvilinear surfaces of its own cars. The charger’s body is a standing tribute to the Dino 246 GT, visible through the charger’s main module, which looks like the iconic car’s top view.

Designers: Sungmin Hwang & PDF Haus

The Ferrari EV Charger does a stellar job of capturing the aerodynamics of the Italian company’s cars. The charger, shaped like a vertical column, comes with an incredible amount of detail located at the eye level. Its iconic red hue is visible from a distance, and as you pull up, you notice the smooth form, the carbon fiber detailing, and the iconic prancing horse logo. Arrive at the pump and it identifies your car once you plug the port into your car’s inlet. The pump greets you by name, using a backlit LED panel right under the horse logo, before your car’s battery is replenished.

The charger’s incredibly intuitive to use, and comes with just two buttons. One to prematurely stop the charging process, and another to wind or unwind the port’s long cable.

While your battery’s being replenished, the Ferrari EV Charger also does a quick diagnostic check on your car, giving you updates on your battery health, range, driving stats, tire pressure, etc. The charging procedure effectively also troubleshoots your car for you, so you’re aware of anything that may need servicing. Meanwhile, Ferrari’s notified too, just in case you ever need their assistance.

The overall design of the EV Charger evokes the same emotions as you’d get from a Ferrari itself. The charger looks iconic, dependable, aerodynamic, and exciting. It’s easy to locate and easier to use, making owning an electric Ferrari a dream. In June, it was reported that Ferrari was building a $4.6 billion dollar EV factory right in the town of Maranello, where it produces all its cars. This new facility will entirely be responsible for Ferrari’s new fleet of upcoming EVs, as the Italian automotive giant hopes to go carbon neutral by 2030.

Autel MaxiCharger makes charging EVs at home almost as easy as charging your phone

Electric cars are pretty much the future of automobiles. Or they should be if we want to keep our planet alive for a very long time. But while these green cars have almost caught up to their gasoline-chugging ancestors in speed and range, the infrastructures that support EVs aren’t completely there yet. Charging on the road is still a problem, and there are issues even with charging at home. Being able to charge your car during the night while it’s parked in your garage should be an advantage that regular cars would never be able to enjoy, but it isn’t all sunshine and roses because of a multitude of factors. That’s where Autel’s new HomeCharger comes in, making EV charging so easy you’d wish your phone or laptop charged that way, too.

Designer: Autel

Click Here to Buy Now: $447.2 $559 (20% off). Hurry, deal ends on August 7th.

Since its founding in 2004, Autel has immersed itself in the automotive industry. It provided services and products that revolved around intelligent diagnostic, inspection, and analysis, creating an ecosystem that seamlessly integrates device, cloud, big data, and artificial intelligence. Over time, its reach grew to over 70 countries and regions, including the US, the UK, Germany, and Australia, just to name a few.

Last year, it embarked on a new journey of discovery and research, exploring the growing market for electric vehicle charging solutions. In line with its mission of exploring intelligent driving and new energy, it is using its expertise and resources to develop smart charging solutions to promote the faster adoption of EVs. The Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox makes the next step in that mission, bringing the convenience of EV charging to your home garage.

The AC Wallbox is a 240V-40A level 2 charger that promises to juice up your electric car seven times faster than common level 1 home chargers. For just 60 minutes of charging, you can get a range of 30 miles for your car. That means you can simply hook it up when you get home and wake up to a fully charged EV waiting for you.

EV owners might have some misgivings about having a charger at home because of safety concerns. The MaxiCharger is specifically designed to allay those fears, making it safe to use both indoors and outdoors. IP65 rating makes it resistant to the harshest rains, and it can operate within a temperature range of -40°C to 55°C (-40°F to 131°F), so snow and summer heat are no problems either. The AC Wallbox also has excellent heat dissipation, removing worries of overheating and fire risks to your home.

While these qualities make the Autel MaxiCharger safe and reliable, its smart features make it convenient and painless to use. Like almost any smart home appliance these days, you can monitor and control all of the Wallbox’s functions from the comfort of your smartphone, whether manually or automatically. What makes the Autel app even more impressive, however, are the insights it can provide to make your charging even smarter. You can check the power consumption and even the electricity cost so that you can make better decisions when to charge your EV to save as much money as possible. The MaxiCharge also boasts Adaptive Load Management (ALM), so you don’t have to worry about overcurrent trips and allowing it to schedule charging times depending on electricity prices and power grid utilization.

Many car makers like to flaunt visions of the future of travel, which often involve not just electric vehicles but self-driving ones as well. These “drives” of fantasy don’t always show the hassles of charging these vehicles, especially at home, where conditions are very different from public charging piles. That could be a major deterrent to the adoption of EVs, but the Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox offers convenience, reliability, and efficiency to make those worries go away. And as more people switch to greener cars, companies like Autel will lead the search for smarter, more power-efficient charging solutions to truly make green energy power the future.

A compact electric vehicle charger perfectly emulates futuristic sleek EV designs

A compact and practical electric vehicle charger designed keeping in mind the future of EVs and the preferences of demanding customers. This is the compact Éclair EV charger which goes perfectly with the styling of future electric vehicle designs and the current ones like Tesla Model 3 too.

It’s estimated that by 2030 all-electric vehicles will account for 52 percent of total worldwide sales. This will consequently see a sharp rise in the demand for electric vehicle charging stations. The more compact EV charging rigs, the better it is for the future. Last year we saw the Genesis EV Home Charger bring a new vision to the user-centric EV charging needs, and now another concept EV charging solution gives us a good idea of what’s heading our way in the coming years.

Designer: Off Of

Most of the electric vehicles that we see in production and on roads adapt sharp geometric aesthetics to reflect the futuristic appeal. The Éclair electric vehicle charger is inspired by that very geometric design aesthetic. This compact electric vehicle charger has a dedicated RFID card payment slot for easy and quick charging at designated stations. Once the halo light turns blue from red, the EV is ready to receive the charge. The wall-mounted EV charging station is designed keeping in mind ease of use, and storing the cable in the gap between the circle face and rectangle body is a clear example.

The charging gun having both B-type and C-type charging ports, slots in the middle of the circle. Those who want to charge their vehicle with their own charging cables can screw it up to the empty socket at the bottom. Keeping in mind the commercial use, the designers have made the charger’s exposed body from black sanding plastic material to avoid any scratches. For aesthetic appeal, the other sections are covered with metallic silver spray.

This Hyundai’s Genesis EV Home Chargers sleek aesthetic gives the Tesla wall connector new design goals

Designed after a thorough understanding of the market and the user requirements, this charger is classy in aesthetics and durable in approach as the Genesis itself, from where it picks its design cues. Incorporating the visual and emotional luxury of Hyundai’s premium brand Genesis, the charger is a result of people’s interaction with the traditional chargers and the entire experience of fueling their vehicles.

Home chargers for electric vehicles are becoming a common sight as more and more customers are treading the EV route. The need for compact and user-centric EV chargers is felt more than ever before and in that case, an option designed for the Hyundai’s premium Genesis begs for attention.
The common hindrance with the present-day EV chargers is the amount of space they occupy in the parking; their stiff and tangling cords; and most importantly the height of these chargers which is not adjustable. Addressing these drawbacks in the design and complementing the top-notch material, styling and pleasant driving dynamics of the Genesis – Citrus Design has fashioned the Genesis EV Home Charger.

Staying true to the design elements of the Genesis, which is currently in a transition phase to going purely electric by 2025, the Genesis EV Home Charger first improvises on the long cables of the chargers with the introduction of a reel attached to the main unit for cable management. With its swift pull, the extended part of the cable – pulled out for charging – rolls back in place smoothly, without posing any danger to the people nearby.

The Genesis EV Home Charger is not decorative in appearance; it’s more practically designed to be more weather resistant to withstand the elements and day-to-day wear and tear. The circular charger comes built-in with a digital display to show the information regarding charging status and other vital details. To wrap up its uniqueness, this Citrus-designed EV charger features a height-adjustable form factor for the convenience of all users and locations. The wall-mounted charger comes with RFID tag reader for instant recognition and as iterated, offers a Genesis-like luxury experience and convenience at the time of charging as well!

EMW kick-starts JuiceBox, a $99 Level 2 DIY charging station

EMW kickstarts JuiceBox, a $99 Level 2 DIY charging station

Electric vehicle charging stations aren't cheap: one of the most affordable Level 2 (240V) units sells for $450 and only supplies 16A. Electric Motor Works (EMW) -- which is best known for its electric conversion kits -- wants to change this with JuiceBox, a 15kW Level 2 EV charger that costs just $99 in kit form (plus $10 shipping). The device, which is launching on Kickstarter today, supplies up to 62A and operates on both 120V and 240V. It's built around an Arduino microcontroller and EMW is making both the hardware and software open source.

But wait, there's more! The company is also crowdfunding a Premium Edition of JuiceBox ($199 in kit form) which adds time-of-day charging, a color LCD, ground-fault plus output protection (for outdoor use) and a unique enclosure (hopefully as funky as the one in the picture above). While the DIY kits only require basic assembly and soldering skills, you'll be able to buy fully assembled versions for $100 more. At $329 (shipped), a ready-to-use JuiceBox Premium Edition undercuts other similar charging stations by several hundred dollars. The catch? You'll have to supply your own cables (or buy them separately from EMW), including one with a standard J1772 EV connector. Hit the source link below to check out the campaign, and take a look at the PR after the break.

GE launches eye-pleasing WattStation Wall EV charger in Europe

GE launches eye-pleasing WattStation Wall EV charger in Europe

Every EV needs juice, but GE likes to dispense it in style, and it's sticking to that mantra with its new, wall-mounted version of the WattStation. The weather-resistant charging point has been launched in Europe, and is available for your home or business in a buffet of custom colors. The WattStation Wall plays nicely with type 1 / 2 plugs and type 2 / 3 sockets under the supervision of GE's smartphone app for monitoring usage and remote charging. A networked version is also due in early 2013 for businesses that want greater control and billing options through the WattStation Connect platform. The PR mentions it supports connections common to Europe, USA and Japan, so we assume it'll also be sticking to walls outside the Continent before too long. If you're not sold on the design, maybe the saving on garage floor space will persuade you -- unless you're set on a Hiriko, of course.

GE, Urban Green Energy set up first integrated, wind-powered EV charging station (video)

GE, Urban Green Energy claim first integrated, windpowered EV charging station video

GE and Urban Green Energy might not be the first to install a wind-powered EV charging station, but the two may be the best prepared to take the concept to a grander scale. The partnership just installed the first Sanya Skypump just outside of Barcelona to serve corporate and government drivers with truly clean energy at levels that meet their typically heftier demands. It's billed as one of the first properly integrated wind-powered EV chargers, and it's undoubtedly one of the more elegant: one of UGE's 4K wind turbine towers catches energy from the breeze above, while a GE Durastation tucked neatly at the bottom provides high-voltage charging for EV drivers undoubtedly eager to get moving once again. Don't worry if you don't speak enough Catalan to charge up at the initial location, either, as plans are underway to bring Skypumps to malls and universities across Australia and the US before 2012 is over. The only catch is the frown you'll likely get if you try to plug in a personal car for a top-up -- let's hope the attention swings towards completely green power sources for commuters in the near future.
