EV home chargers explained
If you have just bought an electric car, or are thinking of buying one, one of the first things you should get sorted is a charger installed at your home so you can fully charge your car when you need to off your own electricity supply through your personal charging point. You can also schedule charges this way so it's convenient for you.
Electric vehicle chargers (home EV chargers) are special units installed usually in your garage or driveway, they are designed to increase the power available to your car. Therefore decreasing charging times and helping you save money by using your own energy tariff.
Charging at home is one of the biggest benefits of going electric. Some of the most popular options on the market come with smart charging, allowing you to take advantage of cheaper electricity rates overnight. By taking advantage of this, and the best tariff available to you through our comparison tool you can save significantly on the cost of EV ownership.
How to choose an electric car charger
Choosing the right home charger for your circumstances can be complicated, which is where the RightCharge tool will help by showing the most appropriate options and allowing you to filter to find the best fit.
Speed of charging: This will be dependent on your home power supply and the maximum power your EV can draw. This can range from ‘slow’ charging at 3kW up to ‘Fast’ charging at high as 22kW. The speed you require will also affect charging costs.
Type 1 or Type 2? Chargers come in two types, generally older models use type 1 and newer models now use type 2. The Rightcharge platform will show chargers only compatible with your vehicle, but this is worth knowing if you are considering purchasing a used electric vehicle for instance.
Tethered versus untethered. A tethered charger means using just one cable already attached to the charger, but you can only use that for either Type 1 or Type 2 EVs. An untethered charger means using separate cables, but gives you the flexibility of having cables for both Type 1 and Type 2. If you’re buying a type 1 EV its generally recommended that you purchase an untethered charger so that you don’t need to replace your charger if you upgrade to a newer vehicle.
How much do EV chargers cost?
Generally speaking a standard 7kW charger and installation costs vary but are typically in the region of £500-£1200 but this can vary widely depending on your individual circumstances and home charging requirements e.g. sockets, connectors, charging cables, and additional factors.
What can affect the cost of installing a charger?
How your home is built. If you live in an older house with thick exterior walls, the extra time and effort needed during your installation may add to the installation cost.
The difficulty of the install. Some chargers are themselves more challenging to install, which may also add to installation costs.
The state of your electrics. An EV charger will place high demands on your home electrical system, so homes that haven’t been updated in a long time may need additional work compared to a standard installation.
The above reasons are why RightCharge have handpicked their network of installation companies. They’re OLEV/OZEV-approved, top-rated and fairly priced. You can typically expect an installer to be on-site within three weeks.

Our expert says…
Choosing the right EV charger is about matching a range of items to your needs, such as speed, type, and flexibility to connect to your vehicle. Charging speeds range from slow 3kW to fast 22kW, which affects costs, while Type 1 and Type 2 compatibility is crucial, especially for used EVs. Tethered chargers are simple but limited to one type, whereas untethered models offer cables for both, helping to futureproof your setup.
“If you get an EV charger at home, pairing it with a dedicated EV energy tariff can save you cash on running costs, as you’ll get a cheaper electricity rate when you charge your car during specific periods.
