EV charger speeds?
Whilst you can charge your EV using a 3 pin charger, PG Electrics want to give our clients expert guidance and advice. That’s why we suggest that a dedicated EV charger at your home is a much better way to charge your EV vehicle. It’s much safer and faster, not to mention convenient.
EV battery sizes vary and obviously a larger battery will require more time to be fully charged. A typical EV battery size of 600kWh will take about 8 hours to charge using 7kW, this is a typical charging speed for most residential homes. In fact, a home EV charger can charge your vehicle 3 times faster than using a 3 pin plug. You can simply have your EV charging overnight, ready for the day ahead, all while you sleep.
