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.
