Why install a home charger?
An electric car's charging speed is measured in kilowatt (kW). The UK network of charging facilities is constantly growing to meet the growing popularity of electric cars and some public charging points provide 100 kW "rapid-charging" output.
At home, your electric vehicle charging point can usually deliver 7kW whereas a regular three-pin socket can only provide up to 2.3kW. Having a home charger will provide much faster charging for your vehicle.
Charge prices
Charging your electric vehicle at home is particularly economical. This translates in a cost per mile that is far less than that of a conventional petrol or diesel car. What's more, you can reduce costs further when opting for a dedicated EV energy tariff. These tariffs usually offer reduced pricing for overnight, off-peak charging.
What difference does it make?
