Home Chargers

Home chargers are electrical devices designed to recharge the batteries of electric vehicles (EVs) or plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) at residential locations. They typically connect to a standard electrical outlet or a dedicated circuit in a home and provide varying levels of charging speed and efficiency. Home chargers can come in different forms, including Level 1 chargers, which use a standard 120-volt outlet and offer slower charging, and Level 2 chargers, which require a 240-volt outlet and are capable of faster charging. These devices contribute to the convenience and practicality of owning an electric vehicle by allowing users to charge their vehicles overnight or during periods of inactivity at home. Some home chargers may also include smart features, enabling users to monitor and control charging remotely via smartphone apps.
