    Why Invest in a Home EV Charging Station? 

    With a suitable EV charging station specifically designed for home use, charging your electric vehicle becomes much smoother and simpler. It also allows you to monitor and control your energy consumption effectively.

    Why should an EV charging station be crammed into a garage or parking lot? Why not simply use other power outlets available at home?

    Keep in mind that charging an electric vehicle is not comparable to charging regular household devices. EV charging requires several hours of high-frequency power, akin to running an oven at maximum temperature for hours. The best and safest way to charge an electric vehicle is by using a dedicated charging station with a properly selected charging cable. If you're unsure about choosing the right EV charging cable, you can find all the necessary information here.

    Additionally, we do not recommend installing an EV charging station yourself. Instead, seek assistance from professional electricians who can also inspect your home's electrical system to ensure it is compatible with the charging station.

    Choosing the right charging time is equally important. With a suitable charging station, you should be able to charge your EV in a few hours. However, it’s worth considering electricity rates at different times of the day. While it may not always be feasible, especially when you're in a hurry, aim to charge during off-peak hours when rates are lower. Additionally, try to avoid using other energy-intensive appliances during charging. This way, the available power can be fully directed to the EV charging station.

    On our website, you will find various types of charging stations. Before choosing one, keep a few key factors in mind. First, know your EV’s maximum charging speed to select a slow, fast, or ultra-fast charging station. Second, consider your current electrical installation, which determines whether you need a single-phase or three-phase charging station. Lastly, make sure to choose charging cables compatible with your EV. Charging cables are available in two types – Type 1 or Type 2, depending on the vehicle's brand.

    Our charging stations are priced between 350 and 400 euros, depending on the suitable electrical current and charging connector. We also offer additional equipment, such as a Wi-Fi module, enabling you to monitor and control the charging station via your smartphone or computer, or an accounting module to track total energy consumption (kWh). These modules are available for an extra 50 euros.

    If you’ve decided to purchase an electric vehicle, it’s worth considering installing a dedicated charging station at home. This eliminates the hassle of searching for an available charging station in the city, allowing you to charge your EV conveniently in your own driveway.
