You plug in at night and wake up to a fully charged battery. But electric car batteries are much bigger than mobile phone batteries so to charge them at speed you&#8217;ll need a dedicated home charger designed to efficiently charge your car at an average speed of around 7.4kW\u00a0on a typical single phase, home supply.<\/p>\n<p>Charge your electric vehicle at home is with an EV home charger. With a range of EV Charging Devices available on the market, you\u2019ll have a plethora of options to choose from. Whether you want a device that charges your electric vehicle using renewable energy sources or one that provides insights and features through a companion app, there\u2019s a charger out there to suit every home.<\/p>\n<p>A 7kW (kilowatt) EV charge point will provide up to 30A to your vehicle \u2013 adding between 20 and 30 miles of range to your vehicle for every hour it is plugged in.<\/p>\n<p>Using a domestic socket to charge your vehicle will supply about 10A (amps) to your vehicle \u2013 which will add between 3 and 10 miles of range per hour of charging time. However, it\u2019s important to take into account that 3-pin charging cables aren\u2019t as safe as a fully installed charge point. The electrical demand from charging your EV can become too much and can potentially cause a fire. For this reason, it is not a recommended form of EV charging, and most professionals strongly advise against using this method.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-7\" data-postid=\"7\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-7 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charging at home &#8211; the basics There are a few ways to charge your car at home, starting from the most basic &#8211; a three pin plug, to speedy smart home chargers running on an upgraded 3-phase supply.
