Why should I have an EV charging point installed at my home?
There are a few different reasons why drivers often prefer to have an electric vehicle charging point installed at their home.
- Their vehicle can charge while the owner sleeps.
- The owner does not have to drive specifically to a charging point to charge their vehicle.
- Often faster than a public EV charger.
- Are waterproof and have built-in safety features.
What type of electric vehicle charger do I need?
There are a few different types of EV chargers available, but a few things need to be taken into consideration before an EV charging point can be installed on your property. The type of electric vehicle charger you will require depends on:
- If your car is a hybrid or fully electric.
- How quickly you want to be able to charge your vehicle.
- The size of the battery in your vehicle.
The most common household EV charger is either a 3.7kW or a 7kW outlet. A much bigger component, at 22kW, would be required for a workplace or public electric vehicle charger installation.
What distance can be covered on a single charge?
It is important for a driver to understand their vehicle and how far it can travel for every hour of charging. Generally speaking, the most efficient EV charger can charge a vehicle enough in half an hour for the driver to be able to complete a 60-200 mile journey. This, however, all depends on the size of your car, the size of the battery and how powerful your EV charging station is.
