What is EV Charging? 

Installing an EV charging point at your home provides the ultimate convenience for electric vehicle owners, allowing you to charge your car overnight or whenever it’s parked. Home chargers are specifically designed to be safe, efficient, and compatible with all major EV models, giving you the freedom to start each day with a fully charged battery, to make life easier for you and save money.

Why Install a Home EV Charging Point?

• Convenience: No more trips to public charging stations. Simply plug in your EV when you’re at home, and wake up to a fully charged battery, ready to go.
• Faster Charging Speeds: Home charging points are typically Level 2 chargers with 240 volts, charging up to 5-7 times faster than a standard wall outlet, adding 15-30 miles of range per hour. This means your EV can be fully charged in just a few hours.
• Cost Savings: Charging at home can often be cheaper than using public stations, especially if you take advantage of lower overnight electricity rates. This means you’re saving on both time and energy costs.
• Safety and Reliability: Home EV chargers are installed with safety in mind. Equipped with built-in safeguards like surge protection, temperature control, and weather-resistant designs, they are safe to use indoors or outdoors.

Types of Home EV Charging Points

• Level 1 Charging (Standard Outlet, 120V): Utilises a standard home outlet but offers slower speeds, adding just 3-5 miles of range per hour. Suitable for plug-in hybrids or for EV owners with low daily mileage.
• Level 2 Charging (Dedicated Charger, 240V): Requires professional installation of a dedicated 240V outlet. Level 2 chargers can fully charge most EVs overnight, making them ideal for daily drivers.

Key Features of a Home EV Charging Point 

• Universal Compatibility: Home chargers are compatible with most EVs and plug-in hybrids, ensuring that no matter the make or model, you can charge efficiently.
• Smart Charging Technology: Many home chargers come with Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to monitor charging sessions, set charging schedules, and view energy usage through a smartphone app. This is perfect for optimising costs, especially with time-of-use energy rates.
• Compact, Durable Design: Home charging units are designed to be compact, weatherproof, and suitable for indoor or outdoor installation. They’re often sleek and low-profile, fitting seamlessly into any garage or driveway setup.

Benefits of a Home EV Charging Point 

• No VAT to Pay: From April 2022 there is no charges for VAT to pay for any EV charger installations.
• Start Every Day Fully Charged: Wake up with a full tank every morning, with no need to worry about finding a charging station.
• Eco-Friendly Choice: Charging at home can often be integrated with renewable energy sources like solar panels, further reducing your carbon footprint.
• Enhanced Vehicle Battery Health: Regular charging at home at moderate speeds is gentler on your EV’s battery, contributing to a longer battery lifespan.
