A smart and secure solution that simplifies home charging in situations where installing a wallbox is complex or impractical

Padua, May 29, 2025 – In Italy, the electric market is growing steadily, but home charging remains a challenge. According to the Smart Mobility Report 2023, about 90 percent of electric car owners recharge mainly at home, but nearly half (47 percent) still do so via a traditional home outlet, despite the limitations and risks – of overheating, inefficiencies and lack of control – that this entails. Indeed, there are logistical or bureaucratic conditions for which installing a wallbox is not possible. It is in this fertile ground that HOMER, the new smart portable home charger developed by Silla Industries, an innovative Italian e-mobility pmi, was born.

“Installing a wallbox, as much as it is the ideal solution, is not always possible. There are too many situations in which users find themselves without alternatives: old installations, distant meters, bureaucracy in apartment buildings, or simply economic and logistical difficulties. In these cases, recharging from the home outlet is not a choice: it is the only option. Yet, almost half of people still do it with simple, unsafe and unsupervised devices. HOMER was born exactly for this: to bring smart technology, security and simplicity where they are lacking today. To offer even without installation, by plugging into a simple residential outlet, a truly accessible and advanced home charging experience, everywhere and for everyone.”

The new device, available from August 2025, combines ease of use, advanced security and all the features that distinguish Silla’s Prism Solar premium wallbox range, but in a compact format that requires no installation.

Specifications

HOMER is a portable single-phase Mode 2 charger, with a “Schuko” power plug at one end and a Type 2 connector at the other. It is a technologically advanced device capable of ensuring:

Energy intelligence: thanks to the Chain2 protocol, HOMER communicates with second-generation meters (Open Meter) and adjusts charging based on household consumption, avoiding overloads or blackouts.
Active safety: a sensor built into the Schuko plug monitors its temperature and, in case of overheating, automatically lowers the power, even to the point of stopping charging if necessary.
Remote control: connects via WiFi or built-in SIM and can be managed from the mySilla App, where you can schedule, monitor and report on each session.
Zero installation, maximum flexibility: it is used immediately, anywhere there is a “Schuko” type socket. At home, on vacation, in the second home, no installation required.

In addition, with compatibility with major reporting standards and built-in connectivity, HOMER is also a perfect tool for corporate fleets, enabling them to track domestic refills made by employees and manage reimbursements accurately and transparently.
With HOMER, Silla Industries brings smart premium charging technology to an even wider audience, removing barriers to access and offering a practical, flexible and secure solution wherever there is an outlet.
The first 50 pieces of Homer will be pre-orderable at an introductory price, with Holdy’s cable holder and free shipping, with delivery in late August.
