How cheap EV chargers compare
A budget home charger charges your car at the same 7kW as a premium one, because 7kW is the ceiling for any wall charger on a single-phase home supply. Extra money buys design, app features, cable quality and extras such as solar modes or a built-in screen.
Check these before you buy
- Smart charging: chargers sold for UK homes must be smart, so you can schedule charging for cheaper overnight hours.
- Earthing protection: built-in PME or O-PEN protection can save your electrician fitting an earth rod, which lowers the installation bill.
- Cable: make sure a tethered cable reaches your car's charge port, or budget for a Type 2 cable with a socketed unit.
- Warranty: warranty terms vary between brands, so compare them.

Common questions
What is the cheapest way to charge an EV at home?
Charge overnight on an EV or off-peak tariff using a smart charger. A cheap smart charger schedules charging into those hours in the same way as a premium model.
Is a cheap EV charger slower?
No. On a single-phase home supply, budget and premium chargers both charge at up to 7kW (7.4kW at 32A). Extra money buys design and features.
Can I just use a 3-pin plug?
You can, but a 3-pin charger adds about 8 to 10 miles of range per hour. Keep it as a backup. A wall charger is faster and safer for daily use.
What makes installation cheaper?
A charger with built-in earthing protection, a short cable run from your consumer unit and a modern consumer unit all help. Ask your electrician for a survey before you buy.
