Why you should install a home charger
Installing a home EV charging stations makes charging faster, safer, and more reliable. This is what you need to know about charging at home.
The benefits of a home charger
Charge more efficiently. Charging with the Mode 2 cable and a regular socket limits charging to 10A and 2,3 kW. This is far below the full charging capacity of new EVs. A charging station has a dedicated circuit of 16A or more. This allows you to take better advantage of the charging capacity of your vehicle.
Charging stations come with a mounted cable or an outlet for separate Mode 3 cables, which are available in several dimensions. With a 16A circuit, you can choose a Mode 3 cable that provides a charging effect of up to 22 kW. A dedicated circuit also makes charging times far more reliable.
Charge more safely. Charging stations fulfill all relevant safety requirements and norms. The installer connects the charging station to a dedicated circuit with at least 16A. The charging station also has earth fault protection type B and safety features that protect both you, your car, and the charging station itself.
Installing a charging station may also increase the value of your home, making it an even better investment for the future.
