What Are the Benefits of a Home EV Charger?
You don’t have to drive to a petrol station every time you run out of fuel, which is one of the benefits of having an electric car. Your EV can be charged at home. Nevertheless, most EV owners do not install home chargers and rely on public charging stations.
Public charging has its perks, but without a home EV charger, you lose out on quite a bit. Let’s examine some reasons for installing an electric car charging station in your home.
Affordability:
Chargers for home electric cars come with an installation fee, but the cost is affordable in the long run. EVs can be charged for less at home than at paid public chargers. If you use a home EV charger, you can also claim a tax benefit.
Home chargers are perceived as being slow by many people. Despite not charging as fast as rapid charging points, they are as fast as chargers in off-street parking or commercial properties. Depending on how well the charger is installed, it can take 1-7 hours to charge your car.
Convenience:
The main advantage of a home charger is that you can charge your car whenever you want. The car will be fully charged the next morning if you leave it plugged in all night.
Compatibility:
Most electric car chargers have a universal socket and are compatible with many EV cars. Another EV driver can use your charging station if they bring their vehicle to your home.
EV Battery Health:
EV car batteries wear out over time, especially when they are charged repeatedly. A full charge at home once a day is better for your car’s battery than multiple charges at public charging stations.
Property Value:
Electric vehicle drivers are on the rise with electric vehicles becoming so popular. Homes with EV chargers are therefore more valuable. Your house’s resale value can be dramatically increased by installing an electric car charging point.
Required Charging Power
Plugs in Your EV
In Europe, there are two types of plugs: Type 1 and Type 2. If your car has a type-1 plug, you will need a type 1 charging socket. A vehicle with a type 2 plug will require a type 2 socket. Confirm these requirements beforehand.

Accessories and Additional Functions
Various features can be integrated into your home charging station. Among them are cable hangers, load management, usage statistics, and access restrictions.
Installation Costs
Installation costs can differ significantly, but they usually fall between £300 and £1000. In addition to the cost of the charging station, installation expenses can sometimes be incurred, for example, cabling to an external building to your home.
