Home EV charging
Home charging is the single largest running-cost lever in electric motoring. The tariff does most of the work; the hardware just needs to be reliable.
Where we stand
We are sceptical of premium charger hardware marketed on savings. Once a unit schedules reliably and is safely installed, additional spend buys convenience, not cheaper electricity.
The questions that actually decide it
Check these before you commit
- Is your consumer unit within reach of the parking space?
- Does your chosen tariff require a specific charger or vehicle?
- Is the installer competent-person scheme registered?
- Who owns the data your charger produces?
