To qualify for a home car charging point installation, you must meet the following criteria:
• Possess dedicated off-street parking • Have a Wi-Fi connection or a router • Obtain landlord permission if you're renting • Reside within mainland Great London

A home installation package encompasses:
• Mounting the home charger on a brick or plaster wall or another sturdy permanent structure • Installing up to 15 meters of cabling, neatly secured to the wall, connecting your electricity meter, main distribution board, and the home charger • Issuing an electrical certificate to confirm compliance with the UK's 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations.

Rapid aka super chargers
‍Rapid or super chargers can be found primarily at highway rest stops and other public locations where super-fast charging is required during a journey. A typical example is the Tesla Super Charger, which charges the vehicle up to 80% in just 20 minutes.
‍Fast chargers
‍Fast chargers have become the industry standard for home and workplace charging, allowing people to charge their vehicles in a matter of hours, depending on the vehicle and charging point rating. The most common fast charger we install has a 7kW rating and will charge most vehicles from 0 to 100% in 6 to 12 hours.
‍Slow aka trickle chargers
‍Slow chargers (also known as trickle chargers) are typically used only for emergency charging and can take 12-24 hours or more to charge the vehicle. They typically use a standard 13A plug socket and are not intended to be used on a daily basis because they may overload your home’s sockets.

A tethered charge point features a long cable with either a Type 1 or Type 2 connector. It's crucial to verify the type of connector compatible with your EV before choosing a tethered charge point. On the other hand, a socketed charge point, which lacks a cable, functions as a universal charging station compatible with any electric car equipped with a fast-charging cable.

The charging duration depends on your vehicle's battery size and the charge point's speed. For instance, a 60kWh battery can be fully charged in under 8 hours using a 7kW charge point.

In the UK, chargers with power ratings between 3-7 kW are popular and generally recommended. While some homes with a single-phase (AC) electricity supply can accommodate an additional 7 kW load, others with a three-phase (AC) supply might support up to 22 kW chargers. It's vital to consult with the installer to ensure your fuse board can handle the extra load from a home charging station.
