Home Charging

Home charging: different methods and situations

There are two different ways to charge your electric vehicle at home: the first with a standard wall outlet and the second with a home EV charging station. When you connect your EV to a standard outlet in your home to charge it, the process is slower, so fully charging a 40kW battery can take nearly 17 hours. This can be more than enough when staying in a remote location for a weekend. However, the most convenient and quickest solution is to install a home charging station. The time it takes to fully charge depends on the level, or speed, of charging and the level of charge of the battery at start-up.

So, what's the best charging solution for your living situation? Keep reading to learn more.

The speed depends on your vehicle and the charging solution
Different types of charging points offer different speeds, and your electric vehicle will be limited by its ability to receive and convert that electricity. If your car has an 11 kW on-board charger and you plug it into a 7.4 kW home charger, you will only charge at 7.4 kW. The car could take more power, but the charging point is limited. If your EV has a 6.6 kW on-board charger and you plug it into a standard 7.4 kW single-phase home charging point, you will be limited to charging at 6.6 kW because the vehicle can't take more.
