Although you could use your normal 3-pin plug to charge your car, most EV owners go for a home charging unit instead, because it’s much faster
You can get a charger installed in your home in the UK if you:
1. Own the property, or you have permission from your landlord
2. Have your own off-street parking
3. Have a WiFi connection at home
Our standard home-charging installation package includes:
Fitting the charge point to a brick or plaster wall (or sometimes another suitable structure!)
Up to 15 metres of 6mm power cable, to connect the distribution board or electricity supply meter and the chargepoint
Fitting and testing electrical connections and protections for the charge point
Up to 5 metres of white plastic conduit, to cover up the wires
Installation of one earth electrode near the charge point
The government has an Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), which exists to help out EV drivers with 75% (up to £350) of the costs of installing a home charger
