The Honda e:Ny1 charges at home at up to 11 kW through a Type 2 connection. You only reach that with a three-phase connection in your meter cupboard, which uses three phases of your grid supply instead of one. With a single-phase connection the e:Ny1 charges at 7.4 kW. Which charger fits best therefore depends on your connection and on whether you want to track your charging costs. See also our overview of all Honda EV chargers.
For the Honda e:Ny1 we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Honda e:Ny1?
The e:Ny1 accepts up to 11 kW AC, so an 11 kW charger uses the on-board charger to the full. A 22 kW charger adds nothing here: the car sets the maximum, not the charger. With a single-phase connection the e:Ny1 falls back to 7.4 kW. Keep that in mind if you do not have three-phase power at home.
Among the 11 kW chargers, a model with a built-in MID meter is worth considering. A MID meter is a certified kWh meter. It lets you measure exactly what home charging costs, separate from the rest of your household use. The choice of 11 kW models with a MID meter is still limited. If that feature matters to you, look for it specifically or check the dedicated chargers with a MID meter.
The e:Ny1 uses a Type 2 connection, like most modern chargers. You only need a separate Type 2 charging cable if you want to charge somewhere else. At home you charge through the charger's fixed connection.
How long does the Honda e:Ny1 take to charge?
With an 11 kW charger you charge the usable battery of 61.9 kWh from empty to full in about 6 hours. Plug in at 23:00 and you drive off with a full battery in the morning. With a single-phase connection the charging power drops to 7.4 kW. A full charge then takes around 8 to 9 hours instead of 6. On the road the e:Ny1 charges via a CCS rapid charger at up to 78 kW. That takes the battery from 10 to 80 percent in just under an hour.
Installing your charger
We always recommend having the connection made by a certified installer, for safety and because it matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany; in Germany this runs through a free quotation. Shipping is available worldwide, but installation is limited to those three countries. Do you not yet have a three-phase connection? You can request one from your grid operator.
Frequently asked questions about the Honda e:Ny1
Does the Honda e:Ny1 need a three-phase connection to charge quickly?
To reach the full 11 kW you need a three-phase connection. With a single-phase connection the e:Ny1 charges at 7.4 kW. That means a full charge of around 8 to 9 hours instead of 6.
Why is a MID meter important for the Honda e:Ny1?
A MID meter records your charging use accurately, separate from your other household consumption. So you can see exactly what charging at home costs you. It is worth considering on an 11 kW charger. The choice of 11 kW models with a built-in MID meter is still limited, so look for it specifically if precise measurement matters to you.
Can the Honda e:Ny1 feed power back to my home?
No, the e:Ny1 does not support bidirectional charging such as Vehicle-to-Load or Vehicle-to-Home. The car only charges up; feeding power back to your home or the grid is not possible.
