Charger types

Home charging point

A home charging point is EV charging equipment installed for private residential use, normally to provide controlled AC charging from the property's electrical supply. It can be installed indoors or outdoors where the equipment and location are suitable. In Great Britain, private charge points sold for domestic use are covered by the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021 unless an exemption applies. The regulations require smart functions and other device-level features. The charging power available at home depends on the electrical installation, supply capacity, EVSE rating and the vehicle's onboard charger.
