EcoFlow Power Hub: Heart of the Power Kit

Traditionally, creating a fully electric off-grid or mobile power system has been quite a daunting task. First you have to plan out your system, this requires you to have at least a basic understanding of electricity. Once you figure out how much power you need, you must create a schematic that makes sense, all the while trying to make sure you strategically place your components optimally for functionality and desired aesthetics. Next, you need to order all of the electrical components to connect everything, making informed decisions and researching what will work together the best. Finally comes installation - the maze of components and wires is difficult even for a professional to tackle.

A functional, reliable and clean final product takes some serious effort to accomplish.. with the new EcoFlow Power Kit, an RV and off-grid electrical system solution, all of the tasks detailed above are at a minimum. This plug-and-play power system requires little effort and little electrical knowledge to get up-and-running. In this article we are going to take a close look at EcoFlow’s new Power Hub - a component of their new power system that integrates seamlessly into New Way Van Life’s Pre-Engineered Van Conversion Kits.

What is the Power Hub?

The Power Hub is one of the main components of the Power Kit. It thoroughly simplifies the process of powering up a van conversion or off-grid home. Put very simply, it combines several components of the traditional system into one unit. It accepts all inputs from the system and sends out all outputs. It controls the charging of the batteries and inverts DC power to AC power.

Inputs & Outputs: Explained

The Power Hub has multiple options for charging the system, options which can be used alone or simultaneously, to provide the system with the most efficient and fastest charge. There is a single input that connects to either a 60 amp alternator, or if the system does not have an alternator, the port can instead be used as a 30 amp solar charging input. There are two dedicated solar charging inputs that give you a maximum of 90 amps of solar charging. Finally, you have the AC Input of 10-140V at 3000W. Located on the front of the device following the above inputs are 3 battery inputs, one of which can accommodate EcoFlow’s Smart Generator, in addition to one AC outlet.

On the right side of the unit are connection points for AC and DC outputs, along with the ground connection that is used to ground the system to a vehicle chassis or similar application.

Convenient Cabling

Another benefit of this plug-and-play system is the amount of value added through simplifying each aspect of building an electrical system. The Power Hub simplifies the installation process and removes the extreme complexity that normally goes into installing a system like this in a vehicle, tiny home or whatever the application may be.

Provided with the kit is all the required cabling for the entire system, with the exception of the actual outputs you wire to the Smart Distribution Panel. Be sure to check out our YouTube video where we go into detail on all of the cabling included with the Power Kit!

We had the pleasure of having the North American Product Team at our facility and got a firsthand look into how much they care about their system, down to the very last details in the design and functionality. One extremely cool insight passed along to us is that the bump cover for the power button is the only thing on the Power Hub designed without functionality in mind.. The inspiration was taken from the ignition button in some Lamborghini models, and honestly, the system gives off Lambo-quality vibes..
