In The Spotlight… How Humax went from set-top box king to EV innovator

In the latest edition of In the Spotlight, we sit down with Simon Humphries, Retail Business Director at Humax.

During the 10-minute discussion, we explored how Humax’s new MX7 7.4 kW home charger, which is backed by decades of electronics expertise and 17,000 chargers already deployed in South Korea, could transform residential EV charging in Europe by unlocking vehicle-to-grid (V2G) bi-directional energy flow and smart off-peak scheduling.

According to Humphries, the MX7’s built-in power-line communication and ISO 15118 ‘Intelligent Charge’ functionality let homeowners use their EV battery as home storage: charging on low-tariff hours, selling surplus energy back to the grid, and even feeding power into the house during peak demand—all automatically scheduled via the Humax app. He also highlighted the charger’s vehicle-recognition and per-vehicle billing features, making it ideal for families with multiple cars or fleet operators seeking accurate expense tracking.
