How to Choose a Home EV Charger
Four things that decide which charger is right for your home and your car.
Tethered or untethered?
Tethered has a fixed cable — plug straight in, no fuss. Untethered uses your own cable for a tidier look and future-proofing. Most drivers prefer tethered for convenience.
7kW or 22kW?
Almost all homes use 7kW, which fully charges most EVs overnight. 22kW needs a three-phase supply that few homes have. The property’s electrical supply determines the suitable charging power.
Smart features
A smart charger schedules charging for the cheapest off-peak hours and lets you control everything from an app — the single biggest way to cut your charging costs.
Solar-ready
If you have (or might add) solar, a solar-compatible charger diverts free daytime energy into your car. It's the cheapest possible way to drive — see the savings below.
What Will it Cost to Charge Your EV?
Drag to your yearly mileage and see how home charging compares with petrol and public chargers.
How this estimate is calculated
Illustration assumes 3.5 miles/kWh, home charging at 8.5p/kWh, public charging at 55p/kWh and petrol at 14.7p/mile. The solar scenario uses 45% of the home charging cost. Charger and solar installation costs are excluded.
Estimates based on ~3.5 miles per kWh, an off-peak home rate, typical public rapid pricing and a 45mpg petrol equivalent. For guidance only — your figures depend on your car, tariff and driving.
Why EV Owners Go Solar Next
Faster solar payback
An EV roughly doubles your home's electricity use. The more you use, the more a solar system saves — so panels pay for themselves sooner.
Charge on free sunshine
Solar generates most during the day. A battery stores it so you can top up the car on your own energy — even after dark — instead of buying from the grid.
Use more of your own solar
Using your own solar electricity can reduce the energy you buy for charging. Savings depend on your generation, usage and tariff; future energy prices can rise or fall.
EV Charging Questions, Answered
Do I need a smart EV charger?
Yes — for any new home charger we recommend a smart unit. Smart chargers let you schedule charging for the cheapest overnight rates, control everything from an app, and (with solar) automatically charge from your own surplus energy. The chargers shown in this preview offer smart charging features.
How much does it cost to charge an EV at home?
On a typical off-peak tariff, home charging works out around 2–3p per mile — roughly a fifth of the cost of petrol. Charging on public rapid chargers costs far more, so a home charger usually pays for itself quickly. Use the calculator above for your own mileage.
Can I get a grant towards an EV charger?
If you live in a flat or rent your home, you may qualify for the Government's EV chargepoint grant, which covers part of the cost. Homeowners in houses are no longer eligible, but home charging is still far cheaper than public charging. Eligibility and current grant rules should be checked before purchase.
What size charger do I need — 7kW or 22kW?
Almost all homes have a single-phase supply, which means a 7kW charger — enough to fully charge most EVs overnight. 22kW needs a three-phase supply, which is rare in homes. A qualified installer must check the property’s supply before recommending a unit.
Will an EV charger work with solar panels?
Yes. A solar-compatible charger (when compatible with your solar system) can divert surplus solar straight into your car, so you charge on free sunshine during the day. It's the cheapest way to run an electric car.
How long does installation take?
Installation time depends on the property’s supply, cabling and charger. Spark EV charging is coming soon; installation bookings are not open yet.
