What are the benefits of getting an EV charger installed at home?
Whilst you can use a standard 3-pin plug socket, there are many benefits to getting a dedicated EV chargepoint installed at your home.
For starters, your electric car will charge 3x faster on a home 7kW chargepoint than a 3-pin plug. Plus, some EVs have large batteries (100kWH+) that it’d be impossible to fully charge your electric vehicle overnight without a home charger.
Also, dedicated home chargepoints are designed to carry the sustained electrical loads needed to charge the EV with a range of safety features, which a conventional 3-pin plug won’t have.
So if you’re thinking of getting an EV, you’ll want to get a dedicated home charger. They’re quicker, safer, easy to use, and installation only takes around 2-3 hours.
WHAT ARE EV CHARGERS?
EV chargers, or Electric Vehicle chargers, are devices designed to supply electric energy to recharge the batteries of electric vehicles (EVs) or plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs).
