Note that at the moment, as with the Nissan Leaf 24kWh, many plug-in vehicles are limited to charging at 16A,due to their on board charging capacity, but in future most vehicles will be able to charge at the much faster 32A rate. The 7kW / 22kW charging station will not overpower the vehicle - it has an on-board charge controller, which will regulate what it will draw. Thus, we always recommend installing a minimum of a 7kW chargepoint in the home, even if the current car will only take 3.6kW.

Electrical injury or risk of fire are much higher if the electrical installation is not up to current regulations or the fuse board is not protected by an RCD. Our complete guide to solar charging covers everything you need to know, but basically, if your solar system is 7kW or more, it can charge your EV fast. The solution was to fit a fuse in the new BS1363 plug, which could then be rated to adequately protect the appliance lead from overload. All in this was very sensible at the time, and the heat from the fuse wasn't at all a problem, as plugs at that time were all made from thermoset plastic, with a fair bit of ventilation space around the fuse. The introduction of the BS1363 plug, together with the BS1362 fuse and shuttered L and N pins in the outlets made the UK domestic electrical system probably the safest in the world.Lets you run all your home appliances as desired (including extra home charging stations for other vehicles). The rated power is determined by the charge current (Amps) and the voltage. The current may be AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current). To save money on the charger, you could choose a lower power rate (such as 3.6kW), although it will take longer to charge your car. Take advantage of dual-rate electricity tariffs and save on costs by automatically scheduling your EV to charge during off-peak hours.

How to choose an EV charger based on speed? Look for a 7kW charger as a minimum. Why does charging speed matter?

The only disadvantage I'm aware of is the house supply of electric. I have quite a low capacity main fuse, so can't charge the car at 32A at the same time as the oven, washing machine and drier etc... But I think my case is quite unusual.
