How are Electric Vehicles Charged?

All hybrid and full electric vehicles can be charged from a standard domestic electric socket however, due to the limited supply from a home socket, this may not be the most convenient way as it is often very slow.

Rather than trailing a power lead through an open door or window, there are dedicated charging units that can be installed on the exterior of your home, making charging more efficient.

Given that private cars are usually parked overnight, most electric car owners rely on home charging to ensure that their EV is ready for use each morning. As well as being convenient, home-based overnight charging also has the advantage of being, in most cases, the cheapest time to recharge.
