The rules around government grants for home chargers are changing in April – with most house owners unable to claim money off. More intel here ⤵️ 👀
Most manufacturers recommend three-pin charging as an absolute last resort. Some household sockets also aren’t rated for long periods of continuous heavy usage – especially if you’re using them with an extension cable. As a result, manufacturers are increasingly refusing to supply three-pin chargers as standard equipment with new PHEVs and EVs.A home wallbox is the type of charger you’ll get as part of the government’s EVHS grant.
How much faster you can charge depends on the electricity supply to your house. Most houses have what’s known as a single-phase connection, but some modern properties or businesses will have a three-phase connection. Wallboxes can be supplied “tethered” or “untethered.” A tethered connection has a captive cable which stores on the unit itself, whereas an untethered box simply has a socket for you to plug your own cable into. The latter looks tidier on the wall, but you will need to carry a charging cable around with you.A third option is to fit what’s known as a commando socket.
There’s no arguing with the convenience of a home charger, though. Simply plug your car in when you get home and, by the time you wake up the next day, you’ll have a full battery.
