A NOX Energy IPS retails at AUD$425 per unit + GST. Installation of the sockets varies, depending on the structure and size of the premises. We typically see an average total cost of installation per unit of AUD$500 to AUD$1000. Installation of multiple units will also reduce the total costs.
A payment-processing fee of ~2.5 – 4% is payable on each NOX Energy App wallet top-up transaction. No transaction fees are incurred on completion of each charge session.
kWh pricing is charged based on the main meter holder’s (building strata, etc) supply costs. This pricing is supplied by the meter holder to NOX Energy, to be used in the charge cost calculation. A NOX Energy management fee of AUD 5c/kW is also applied per each charging session.
The NOX Energy IPS solution is a metered intelligent power socket. The solution is based on the premise that an EV trickle charger is plugged into the power socket and the NOX NMS is used to monitor and cost the EV charging session.
Currently in Australia, new EV cars are generally supplied with a trickle charger to allow at home charging. EV manufacturers that do not supply these as standard may have them as a selectable option or direct EV owners to 3rd party suppliers. Although the specific type and specification of each trickle charger may vary, they are generally considered a Level 1 charger ranging from 8A-15A.
Around 20km per hour using the 15-amp socket, and 10km per hour using the 10-amp socket.
Yes. The safety threshold will need to be lowered first. Please let NOX Energy know if this your intended use and we’ll make an update in our backend.
Yes. The IPS is functionally the same as any power outlet, meaning that you can use it for the same applications.
No. The NOX Energy model is pay as you go. There are no ongoing subscription fees.
NOX Energy will investigate and dispatch an electrician to fix any issues within two business days. Please note, this does not cover malicious damage.
Yes. The IPS requires an internet connection to communicate with the NOX Management System. This can be via Wi-Fi, or an Ethernet connection. Each IPS will consume around six megabytes of data per day or around the equivalent of six emails. The network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) does not need to be dedicated to the NOX Energy devices. It can be used for any other building purpose (security, smart lighting, motion control, etc.).
The IPS can establish a connection with your phone via Bluetooth to initiate a session. Please ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
Any active charging sessions will continue to charge until full/unplugged. The NOX Energy Management System will prevent any new session from being started. When Internet is restored, the IPS will automatically reconnect.
No. Each charging session is linked to the user that starts the session. If someone else uses your IPS, they will pay for their own charging session.
The NOX Energy IPS uses a cloud-based load management system (LMS). This LMS utilises a set of site-specific; circuit, distribution board, and building thresholds for simultaneous operation. When these thresholds are exceeded, the IPS’ in a building are cycled on and off every 15 minutes so that the building’s electrical systems are protected and all users receive power, regardless of when they plugged in.
