Charging at home is cheaper and far more convenient than relying on public chargers — you wake up to a full battery every morning. But a home EV charger needs to be installed properly and safely. Here’s what to know.
Why charge at home?
Home charging uses your household power, which is cheaper than most public fast-chargers — especially on off-peak rates. It’s also convenient: plug in overnight and you’re ready to go.
What affects the installation
The main consideration is your switchboard and supply capacity. Adding a fast charger is a significant load, so we check whether your home can handle it and whether smart load management is needed.
