As electric vehicles become more common, installing a reliable EV charger at home has gone from luxury to necessity. But choosing the right charger involves more than just picking a brand — it’s about matching the charger’s specifications to your home’s power supply and your driving habits.

There are two main types of chargers: slow chargers (ideal for overnight charging) and fast chargers (for quicker top-ups). Factors such as your vehicle’s battery capacity, available electrical capacity, and where the charger will be installed all affect which model is best for you.

A certified electrician can carry out a site survey, advise on the most efficient setup, and install the charger safely in compliance with UK regulations. Always choose an OZEV-approved installer — not only for safety but also to access available grants or rebates. Investing in the right charger ensures optimal performance, lower running costs, and long-term reliability.
