EV chargers.
Start with your home.
Every home charger adds roughly 30 miles an hour. The real choice is your parking, your tariff and how you plug in.
We only use “Our Choice” for products we own.

What every home charger already does
- Same speed: about 7kW, roughly 30 miles an hour.
- Fits any car: the standard Type 2 plug.
- App and scheduling: charge in cheaper hours.
- Built for the weather: rain and frost are fine.
- Installation is broadly the same: usually fed from your meter cupboard or fuse board. The cable run changes the quote, not the brand.

Key terms
Charger words, translated
The charger monitors how much power the house is using and reduces charging when needed. It needs a working sensor or meter connection and the correct settings; the charger alone cannot promise this.
Attached means the cable stays on the charger, ready to plug in. A socket model uses a separate cable you plug in each time and put away afterwards. Include that cable in the price comparison, and picture where the coiled cable will live when it is not in use.
A schedule follows times you set. A supplier-integrated charger can let an eligible energy plan control charging. Compatibility depends on the exact plan, car and charger, not just the supplier name.
Around 7kW is common for a UK home on a single-phase supply. A 22kW label normally needs a three-phase supply and a car that accepts that AC power. A higher number does not guarantee faster charging at your home.
Some chargers adjust charging to use spare solar generation. That is different from simply charging in daylight. Check how it works with your panels, home battery and minimum charging power.
Power monitoring stops the charger asking for too much from the house. Separate electrical protections deal with faults. One does not replace the other; a qualified electrician must check the complete setup.
If your employer pays for business miles, they may want to see what charging actually cost. A charger app that lists each session (kilowatt hours used, date and time) makes that easier to evidence. Check whether the list can be exported and whether home charging is kept separate from public charging.
