How to choose a home electric car charger?

Electric cars are becoming a part of more and more people's lives, and one of the most important questions at this time is how to charge them at home. While it may seem simple at first, choosing the right EV charger depends on several factors - not only on the car, but also on your home electrical network and your own charging habits.

1. Charging power:
 Charging time depends largely on the power of the charger. A 3.7 kW charger is slower, while 7.4 or 11 kW chargers charge much faster - for example, a 60 kWh battery can be fully charged with 7.4 kW in about 8 hours. This can be ideal for overnight charging.

2. Connector type:
 In Europe, the Type 2 connector is the standard, so be sure to choose a charger that supports this type. If you want a future-proof solution, choose a universal charger that is compatible with multiple cars.

3. Smart features:
 Modern EV chargers are increasingly equipped with “smart” features: Wi-Fi connectivity, mobile apps, charging timing, dynamic power control, or even integration with a solar system. These are not only convenient, but also help save energy.

4. Installation and safety:
 It is important that the charger is installed professionally by a registered electrician who also checks the capacity of the home network. A well-chosen and safely installed wall charger is a long-term investment that makes everyday charging more convenient and faster.
