Features to look out for in an EV chargepoint

Nowadays, most electric car charging points are much smarter than they used to be. Home-owners can enjoy various features to help them save money, go green, and monitor charging data and times.

Here’s a quick checklist of features to consider. Work out which ones you really want or need. Ask the manufacturer to guarantee that your chosen features are definitely available in the model you have selected.

• Tethered or Untethered
• Type 1 or Type 2
• Option to charge only when electricity is being generated by your solar panels
• Setting to charge automatically when grid electricity is at its cheapest
• Setting to charge automatically when grid electricity is at its greenest (less coal/gas, more wind/solar)
• Can be programmed to charge between specific times
• Can be turned on and off via a smartphone app
• Load balancing (only relevant if you have several high-powered devices to send electricity to)
