There are advantages and disadvantages to using tethered and untethered charging stations for electric vehicles.

Tethered Chargers Pros

• Using tethered electric chargers, all you have to do is park and plug in.
• You can stash the spare charging cord in the trunk.
• safer than if it were unattached
• If you already have the proper cables, there is no need to purchase more.
• Limitations of corded power sources

Tethered Chargers Cons

• You can't replace cables because the length is fixed
• If you change cars or a cable standard changes, you'll need a new charger or adaptor.
• They're messy. Each use requires coiling and uncoiling the cables.

Untethered Chargers Pros

• It's possible to get cables of various sizes.
• The socket is compatible with Type 1 and Type 2 devices, making it a more versatile and future-proof option.
• In the future, when electric vehicles become more common, your friends and relatives may want to bring their electric cars to charge while they are in town.
• Makes your driveway or parking area appear much neater and less cluttered.

Untethered Chargers Cons 

• Whenever you want to charge, you must dig the cable out of the trunk or garage.
• Not as safe as having it tethered.
• In some cases, a charging cable will be required.

The vehicle's 3-pin plug charger wire can charge your electric car, but it's slow and has fewer alternatives than a specialized charging port. Our customers usually install a fit-for-purpose charge station for these reasons:

Safety

A high and stable electric current delivered over a prolonged period is necessary for charging an electric vehicle. Overheating the socket could result from such continuous use, and standard electrical outlets are not ideal for such use.

Charging efficiency

While a standard 7.4kW charging device will comfortably charge the average electric vehicle in eight hours, a 2.3kW 3-pin plug will take more than 20 hours.

Convenience

People criticize electric car charging times. Most EV owners use wall-mounted equipment to charge overnight, so they wake up to a charged vehicle. Workplace charging stations allow employees to power their cars for the commute home.

Future EVs are plug-ins.

Plug-in electric vehicles are undoubtedly the future of UK motoring.
