How to Charge an Electric Vehicle at Home?
1 Answers
Simply plug the onboard charger into a power outlet in the parking lot or at home to start charging. Here are the relevant details: 1. Most electric vehicles can be charged at home, and home charging does not violate electricity regulations. 2. Since household voltage is only 220V, it only supports slow charging for EVs, often requiring over 8 hours for a full charge. This makes it more suitable for overnight charging. Modern EVs allow charging time scheduling, which is particularly advantageous in regions with peak/off-peak electricity pricing—users can set the charging time and plug in the charger to automatically start during cheaper nighttime rates. 3. For households with dedicated parking spaces or garages, installing a charging station is recommended as it's more economical and efficient. A 380V fast charger can fully replenish the battery in just over an hour while consuming less electricity.
