EV Home Charging
Made Simple

What does a EV home charger cost?

The price of wallboxes for electric cars for home charging is between €550 and €2000.

The prices vary depending on how quickly you want to be able to charge, how many cars can be charged at the same time and other characteristics. But the latest cutting-edge technology is surprisingly affordable, and some cheaper chargers have better functionality (and more "smart" features) than older but more expensive models.

Can you charge my electric car directly in the wall socket?

You can! However, you must ensure that you have both earth-fault circuit breakers and proper surge protection. Without these there is a risk of fire. But even then it's very slow, compared to a proper EV charger...

Ordinary wall sockets and engine heater sockets are not adapted to the high load that charging an electric car or plug-in hybrid entails, at least not for a long time.

With a correctly installed EV charger, you can charge your car quickly, safely and securely.

Why should i install a EV charger at home?

Charging your car in a regular electrical socket can sometimes mean a significant fire risk, especially without a special earth fault circuit breaker and surge protection. Even apart from the risk, it is unfortunately quite slow charging.

If you charge a standard electric car with a battery size of 80 kWh in a standard socket, it takes approximately 35 hours to charge from 0-100%.

If you charge the same car instead with a EV home charger that has a capacity of 22 kW, you can charge from 0-100% in under 4 hours.

What should I consider when choosing a EV charger?

The first thing you should be aware of is whether your car has a Type 1 or Type 2 socket. The vast majority of cars now have a Type 2 socket since Type 2 became the EU standard.

Evify has a convenient function to compare EV chargers, there you can see all our different chargers and their techincal specifications.

The second question is; how quickly do you want to be able to charge your car? Charging boxes come with different capacities, which means that they charge your car at different speeds. If you use the function mentioned above, you can easily compare the speed of all compatible chargers.
