EV Chargers at Home: What You Need to Know

13 October 2026·By APM Energy

Thinking about a home EV charger? Here's how to choose the right unit and charge for next to nothing using solar.

Home charging is the most convenient — and cheapest — way to keep your electric vehicle ready to go each morning.

Level 2 is the sweet spot

A dedicated 7kW Level 2 charger adds around 40km of range per hour, comfortably topping up most cars overnight.

Smart chargers can prioritise your solar generation, so you fill the battery with free energy from your roof rather than the grid.

  • Faster, safer charging than a standard power point
  • Solar-aware scheduling to cut costs
  • Future-proof for a second EV
