Home Charging Station Guide

Why Do You Need To Have A Home Charging Station?

• Charging is no longer limited by public charging stations

While public charging stations are becoming more and more common in cities and on highways, they are still unevenly distributed and sometimes require waiting in line or searching for a suitable charging location. With a home charging station, on the other hand, you can charge at home whenever you want without worrying about waiting times or locations at charging stations. This convenience not only saves time, but also reduces unnecessary traveling

• Save money in the long run

While installing a home charging stations may require some initial investment, the investment will be worth it in the long run. Home charging is usually cheaper than public charging, and many home electricity companies offer more favorable rates at night. By choosing the right charging times, you can make further savings on your electricity bill. Over the long term, these savings will significantly reduce your overall charging costs!

• Enjoy a smart charging experience

Modern home charging stations are often equipped with smart features that can be controlled and monitored remotely via a mobile app. You can easily set up charging schedules, view charging progress, and optimize charging speeds based on grid load.

• Improving Charging Efficiency

Home charging stations usually have higher charging power, allowing them to charge electric vehicles faster. This means you can fully charge your vehicle in no time at all, making the most of your electric car’s range. Compared to the slower charging speeds of some public charging stations, home charging stations can significantly improve charging efficiency, allowing you to enjoy a full charge every day!

• Enhanced Vehicle Safety

Private charging stations, on the other hand, give you complete control over the charging environment. You can choose high-quality charging equipment and perform regular maintenance to ensure that the charging process is free of potential safety hazards

• Environmental Protection and Green Travel

Having a home charging station is not only a great way to improve your personal quality of life, but also a great way to support the environment. By using renewable energy to charge at home, you can further reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to the environment.

Three common types of charging stations:

• AC Charger: suitable for home installation charging stations, charging speed is relatively slow.
• DC Fast Charger: Suitable for public charging stations, providing high power fast charging.
• Supercharger: High-power charging equipment used by specific brands (e.g. Tesla), with extremely fast charging speeds.

What are the types of home charging stations?

• Type 1 (J1772): Used primarily in the North American market for some EV brands.
• Type 2 ( Mennekes): Widely used in Europe and some other regions, supports higher power AC charging.
• CHAdeMO: A DC fast charging standard, mainly used in the Japanese market, but also adopted by some international EV brands.
• CCS (Combined Charging System): combines AC and DC charging functions, supports high power DC fast charging, and is currently a widely adopted standard worldwide.
