A dedicated EV charger offers numerous benefits for electric vehicle owners. It provides significantly faster charging speeds compared to standard wall outlets, reducing charging times from over 24 hours to just 4-8 hours for a full charge. This convenience allows EV owners to easily charge overnight and start each day with a full battery.
Safety is another key advantage, as dedicated chargers are designed to handle high electrical loads without risking overheating or electrical issues. Many modern EV chargers also offer smart features like remote monitoring, scheduling and integration with home energy systems or solar panels to optimise charging times and costs.
Installing a dedicated charger can increase property value and future-proof homes as EV adoption grows. It also provides peace of mind by ensuring a reliable charging solution and maximising the use of clean energy, reducing charging costs and environmental impact.

Three Key Considerations Regarding EV Chargers
There are many options and considerations when it comes to EV chargers. Below are the 3 most important.
Assessment
This involves evaluating your home’s electrical system. An experienced electrician can determine whether your switchboard can safely handle the additional load by inspecting the existing mains cables, the number of phases present and the overall condition of your board.
Charging Speed
Whilst electric vehicles can be charged from a standard power point it will take approximately 30 hours for a Tesla 3 to achieve full charge. Having a dedicated wall box will enable faster charging, especially for households with a 3 phase supply available.
Charging Location
The EV charger should be installed in a convenient location, ideally close where the vehicle will be parked. This location will determine cable length and route and the need for shades or covers.
