If you are thinking of buying an electric car or plug-in hybrid (or have already bought one), you may not have thought about the advantages of a EV charger at home. But there are many advantages to having a home charger that can make your electric car experience even better.

Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular in Europe, as more people are looking for ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and save money on fuel. But one of the biggest barriers to using electric cars is the lack of practical and reliable charging options. This is where EV home chargers come into the picture.

Why you should install a EV charger at home

Faster loading time

A EV charger enables higher charging power than ordinary wall sockets, which means that charging is much faster. In many cases, it can take over 24 hours to charge in a standard wall outlet, while a EV charger can charge the car's battery in just a couple of hours, depending on battery capacity and charging power.

Convenience

Having a EV charger at home means that you can always have a fully charged car when you need it. You don't have to look for public charging stations or queue to charge your car.

Cost efficiency

Charging your car at home with a EV charger is almost always more cost-effective than using public charging stations. The cost of charging a normal electric car from 0-100% usually costs around 30 DKK, while charging the same electric car at a public charging station can cost over 300 DKK.

Security

EV chargers are designed to be safe and reliable. They have various safety features such as surge protection, earth fault circuit breaker and overheating protection that protect both the car and the home from possible damage.

Increased life of the car battery

Charging the car with a EV charger can extend the life of the battery because the charging takes place in a more optimized way. In addition, some EV chargers may have functions that optimize charging to reduce wear and tear on the battery.

Smarter features

Many EV chargers have, among other things, the option to charge your electric car when the electricity price is the cheapest. You can also get detailed information about the charging time, charging level, consumption, the option to lock the charging cable and let others charge at your place in a convenient way.

Environmentally friendly

Charging your electric car at home with a EV charger means you can use renewable energy from solar panels or wind turbines to charge your car. This helps to reduce your carbon footprint and contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Increase your house-value

Almost 50% of all newly registered cars in 2023 were electric cars. A EV charger at home therefore contributes to increasing the home's value by increasing its attractiveness to potential buyers.

Summary

With a EV charger at home, you can charge your electric car in a faster, safer and more reliable way. A EV charger can also be more cost-effective by using cheaper nighttime electricity and avoiding public charging fees. In addition, a EV charger contributes to increasing the home's value and flexibility by allowing you to charge your car when it suits you best.

In conclusion, if you want to maximize the convenience, efficiency and performance of your electric car, a EV charger at home is a wise choice.
