Charging guide

The right power, no more, no less

A more powerful charger won't charge any faster if the car or the installation can't keep up. This guide gives you the real charging time, and the charger that's enough.

The essentials

Four things to know before you buy

01

The usable power is the lowest of the three

The charger's, the vehicle's on-board charger's, and the installation's. A 22 kW charger on a car limited to 11 kW charges at 11 kW.

02

Type 2 is the European standard

Every car sold in Europe charges via Type 2 on AC. Our chargers, cables and portable chargers all use it.

03

Single-phase or three-phase

Most homes have a single-phase supply: 7.4 kW maximum. Three-phase opens up 11 and 22 kW. Your electricity contract or consumer unit will tell you which you have.

04

Dedicated protection

A charging point is connected to a dedicated circuit, protected by a 30 mA residual current device suited to residual DC current. Your electrician will choose it with you.

Protection

What protects your installation

RCD, surge protector and dynamic load management: the trio installers recommend around a charger.

Installing a charger and its protection is a job for a qualified electrician. We provide manuals and wiring diagrams, and answer your installer's questions in writing.
