Charging your electrical car at night is seen as the simplest option. Overnight charging in most cases will provide enough charge for a full days driving so the driver starts with the equivalent of a full tank. Most electric cars can be charged at home using a standard three-pin domestic plug socket.

A new EV car charger will be supplied with a standard EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) charging cable which allows the electric car to be charged from any mains socket wherever it is.

To keep yourself and your electric car safe while charging we would recommend we install a dedicated EV electric charging wall box. It is safer because it communicates to the car while charging. The added benefit of a dedicated EV electric charging wall box is that it reduces the charging time by 30-60% depending on which electric car you have.

At present the government gives a 50% grant towards the cost of one.

There are various types of wall EV car chargers and of course some manufacturers recommend certain types.
