Home Charging Speeds. Trickle to Turbo.
Most EV’s come with a portable “granny charger” that lets you plug into a regular UK 3-pin socket. While this works, it’s very slow – adding just 6–8 miles of range per hour – and a full charge can take more than 24 hours for long-range EVs. Importantly, a 3-pin charger should only ever be used in a dedicated, modern socket that’s been checked for safety. Extension cables or multi-plugs must never be used, as they pose a fire risk when carrying continuous high loads for many hours. For that reason, 3-pin charging is best kept as a backup or emergency option, not for daily use.
A professionally installed wallbox runs on its own circuit and delivers up to 7.4 kW – around three times faster than a 3-pin plug. This adds 25–30 miles of range per hour, meaning most EVs can recharge fully overnight. Home chargers are safer, faster, and smarter, with features like load balancing and off-peak scheduling, making them the ideal everyday solution for UK households.
Some properties with a three-phase electricity supply can support faster charging speeds – 11 kW or even 22 kW. These can top up compatible EVs much quicker, but almost all UK homes only have single-phase power, limiting them to 7.4 kW. Upgrading to three-phase is possible but can be costly (often several thousand pounds) and, for most drivers, unnecessary – since a 7 kW charger already covers all overnight charging needs.

Tethered. vs Untethered.
Not sure whether to choose a tethered or untethered EV charger? The right option depends on how you drive, where you park, and how you want your charger to look. Both the VCHRGD Seven Pro Tethered and Untethered are built with the same fast, safe, and future-ready technology — the only difference is how you want to plug in. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.
Untethered. Flexibility.
An untethered home EV charger gives you a clean, cable-free look. You simply plug in your own Type 2 charging lead whenever you need it.
Flexible charging: use different cable lengths or swap easily between vehicles.
Neat design: no permanent cable means a sleek, compact appearance.
Future-proof: compatible with any Type 2 EV or PHEV, making it ideal if you change cars.
Best for: Households with multiple EVs or drivers who prefer a minimalist setup.
Tethered. Convenience.
A tethered home EV charger comes with a permanently attached charging cable — ready to plug in the moment you arrive home.
Convenience first: no need to fetch your own lead, just plug in and charge.
Time-saving: perfect for daily EV drivers who want a quick and easy connection.
Tidy storage: the cable is always available and securely wrapped around the unit.
Best for: Drivers who use the same EV regularly and want the simplest charging solution.
Save More. When You Charge Smarter.
Choosing the right energy tariff is just as important as choosing the right charger. With a smart EV tariff, you can significantly cut the cost of home charging compared to public charging or standard single-rate tariffs.
Integrated EV Tariffs
Some energy providers now offer integrated EV tariffs, such as:
OVO Charge Anytime
Octopus Intelligent
These tariffs connect directly to either your EV charger or your vehicle’s API. The supplier then automatically controls when your car charges — usually overnight, when grid demand is low and energy is cheapest. This means your EV is always ready when you need it, while you benefit from ultra-low charging costs.
Time-of-Use (TOU) Tariffs
Other providers offer time-of-use tariffs, such as:
E.ON Next Drive
British Gas EV Driver
With these tariffs, you decide when to charge, but you can schedule your EV to charge during the cheapest off-peak hours (often overnight). This gives you more control while still reducing charging costs compared to a flat, single-rate tariff.
How Much Could You Save?
The average UK EV driver travelling 7,400 miles a year (Department for Transport, 2024) spends:
£800–£1,200 per year on public charging
£600–£800 per year on a single-rate home tariff
£300–£450 per year on a dedicated EV smart tariff
That’s a potential saving of up to 60% compared with public charging.
