If you have a driveway or garage, then by far the easiest way of charging an EV is at home on your driveway. Although it’s possible to charge your car directly from the mains with a three-pin socket, that’s not ideal as it can take more than 24 hours to do so. Instead, we’d advise that you install a home charging point, as these are designed to power up your electric car battery more safely and quickly. Typically a full charge would take approximately 8 hours and your electricity provider may even offer an cheaper rate for charging overnight.
