You can, but 3-pin charging is by far the slowest way to charge your vehicle, in fact, it can take over 18 hours to fully charge your vehicle using a 3-pin cable which provides approximately 2.4kW of power. Home chargers however, delivers 7.4kW of power to your vehicle, dramatically reducing your charging time. In fact, home chargers are over three times faster. This means that a single overnight charge would be enough to fully restore the range of your vehicle.

In addition, home chargers offer a range of safety and quality of life features that you won't get with 3-pin chargers. These include:

• A range of electrical safety features including surge protection and an isolation switch.
• The ability to lock your charger as well as your vehicle, reducing the risk of theft or tampering.
• Smart scheduling. Various chargers can work with your electricity supplier to ensure that your vehicle only charges during the cheapest times of the day.

• Solar and battery integration. If your home benefits from solar panels and battery storage, we offer chargers that can integrate with these assets to make the most out of your renewable array.
