Home EV Charger Selector – FAQ
What size home charger do I need for my EV?
The right charger size depends on your daily driving distance, available charging time, and your EV’s onboard charger capacity. Most EV owners find that a 7.4 kW charger meets their needs for overnight charging.
Is a 7.4 kW charger enough for daily use?
For most drivers, a 7.4 kW charger is more than sufficient. It can add about 30-40 miles of range per hour of charging, which typically replenishes a day’s driving in 2-4 hours of overnight charging.
Do I need three-phase power for fast home charging?
Three-phase power allows for faster AC charging (up to 22 kW), but most EVs only support up to 11 kW AC charging anyway. Unless you have specific high-power needs or future-proofing requirements, single-phase is usually sufficient.
Should I choose a smart charger or a basic charger?
Smart chargers offer benefits like scheduling, energy monitoring, and remote control via apps. If you have time-of-use electricity rates or want detailed insights into your charging habits, a smart charger is worth the extra cost.
