EV Home Charging: All You Need To Know

Charging an electric vehicle (EV) at a public charging station can be convenient, but when considering a long-term charging solution, home charging is the most cost-effective and reliable option.

But how much does it cost? How fast can you charge? And what equipment do you need for a seamless home charging experience?

This guide by Rheidon Tech will answer all your questions and help you find the perfect home charging solution.

Why Choose Home EV Charging?

Key Benefits of Home Charging

✅Lower Cost per Charge: Charging your EV at home is cheaper than public charging, especially when using off-peak electricity tariffs.

✅Convenience & Time-Saving: No need to wait at public charging stations. Simply plug in at home and wake up to a fully charged EV every morning.

✅Portable Charging Option: With a portable EV charger like the Rheidon Tech PC200 (3.6kW) or PC100 (11kW), you can charge at home, at work, or while traveling.

✅Smart & Energy-Efficient Charging: Our chargers come with adjustable power settings (e.g., 6A to 16A for PC200 3.6kW and 6A to 32A for PC100 11kW), allowing you to optimize energy use and reduce grid strain.

How Can You Charge Your EV at Home?

Option 1: Plug-and-Play Portable Charger (No Installation Required)

If you're looking for an easy installation-free charging solution, a portable EV charger like the Rheidon Tech PC200 (3.6kW) is the perfect choice.

  • Plug into any 230V Schuko socket—no need for electrical upgrades.
  • Delivers up to 3.6kW (adds ~18km of range per hour).
  • Compact & travel-friendly—use at home or take it on the go.

Option 2: Wallbox Charger for Faster Charging

For those looking for higher charging speeds, an 11kW wallbox like the Rheidon Tech PC100 (11kW) is ideal.

  • Faster charging (up to 55km range per hour).
  • Future-proof for long-range EVs.
  • Requires professional installation with a 400V three-phase connection.

Do You Need a Charging Cable for Home Charging?

Most home chargers do not include a cable, so you may need to purchase one separately.

If your EV has a Type 2 connector (common in Europe), a Type 2 charging cable is recommended.

Home Charging Speeds: How Fast Can You Charge?

Several factors impact charging speed at home, including:

  • The EV’s onboard charger capacity
  • The charging station’s power output (3.6kW vs. 11kW)
  • Your home’s electrical system (single-phase vs. three-phase)

Future-Proofing Your Home Charging Setup

If you're planning to upgrade to a larger EV in the future, choosing an 11kW wallbox ensures you won’t need another upgrade later.
