Can’t I charge my vehicle using a standard 3-pin socket?
You can use a humble 3-pin socket of the type we all have at home. However, we DON'T recommend regular charging from a 3-pin socket and most manufacturers state that you should only resort to this method in emergencies. Using a dedicated EV home charger is much more robust, efficient, safe and reliable.
In summary: It's quicker and safer to charge your electric vehicle with a professionally installed charge point.
Annoyingly, electric vehicle manufacturers don't put the car charging port in the same location for every model.
For example, the Nissan Leaf and MG ZS EV put the port at the front of the car. By contrast, Tesla's charging ports are at the back on the left. The Audi e-tron has two ports: one front left, the other front right.
So when you come to have a charging point installed, think carefully about where the charging point will be located, to ensure it's not too far from your car's charging port.
