Is it worth buying a home charging point?

Of course it is. Buying a home charging point is a very wise investment in the long run.

Compared with public charging stations, home chargers use residential electricity prices and are usually cheaper. Charging at home at any time, without queuing or going out to find an idle public charging station, greatly improves the convenience of daily car use.

And dedicated home chargers (such as 7kW or 22kW) charge much faster than ordinary three-hole sockets, allowing you to recharge your vehicle faster, especially for owners with a high commuting frequency.

Secondly, a properly installed home charging point has safety features such as overload protection and leakage protection, which is more reliable than long-term use of ordinary sockets and reduces the risk of electrical failure.

With the popularity of electric vehicles, homes with EV charging facilities are more popular in the market, and they are also a plus for future property resales.

1) Increased Convenience

There is no doubt that home charging points are by far the most convenient way to charge your electric vehicle. There’s no need to wander around public charging points for hours or even wait in line to charge. With a home electric car charger, you can charge your vehicle anywhere, anytime, with no waiting and no hassle. Think of all the things you can do at home when you’re charging your electric car – cooking, cleaning, relaxing – home EV charging maximizes your convenience.

You can’t do that with a gasoline or diesel vehicle, can you?

Additionally, all home charging points allow you to schedule your charging time via a smartphone app. To maximize convenience, you can set your EV to charge at home at night, and your home charger will do it for you – all while saving you money on EV charging costs.

2) Increase your property value

While you may think an home charging point is more expensive than three-prong plug charging, it’s a worthwhile investment in the long run. In fact, 76% of homes with EV chargers saw an increase in property value.

With a ban on the sale of new gasoline and diesel vehicles from 2030, electric cars will soon become the norm. Therefore, installing a home EV charger is a great way to ensure your property is future-proofed, as well as being cost-effective if you decide to sell.

3) Cheaper electric car charging

Installing a home charging point means you can use public EV charging point at no extra cost – but that’s not all. Overall, charging your electric car with a smart home EV charging point is much cheaper than using a public charger. In fact, according to the UK government, you can save up to £1,000 a year by charging your home EV during off-peak hours.

In addition, popular chargers offer additional smart features such as tariff integration and solar integration to help you save money on your electricity bill, leading to further savings.

4) Charge your electric car more safely

The safest way to charge your EV at home is through a dedicated home EV charging post. In fact, any EV charger needs to be installed by a certified, experienced electrician and must follow specific rules and regulations to ensure maximum safety.

While you can use a standard three-prong plug to charge your car, it’s not recommended for everyday use, as household outlets are not designed for this kind of intense, constant use. These “granny chargers” should only be used in an emergency.

5) Charge your EV up to 300% faster with a home charger

By installing a dedicated home charging point at home, you can enjoy faster charging speeds than a three-prong EV charger – a 7kW home charger can charge up to three times faster than a standard three-prong charger, while a 22kW home charger can charge up to six times faster than a three-prong EV charger.
