Why install an EV Charger?

1. Charge safer
The safest way to charge an electric car at home is through a dedicated home charge point. A home EV charger needs to be installed by a registered electrician and therefore ensures maximum safety. Although you can charge your car with a standard 3-pin plug, this is not recommended as household sockets are not designed for this high level of constant usage.

2. Charge faster
Getting a dedicated home electric vehicle charger installed allows you to benefit from faster charging speeds. For example, a 7.4kW home charging unit (the most common home EV charger) will charge an EV over three times faster than a standard 3-pin plug charger.

3. Convenience
An EV home charger is by far the most convenient way to charge your electric vehicle. There is no need to hang around a public charging point for hours or, even worse, queue to use a charger. With a home EV charger, you can charge your vehicle whenever suits you, no waiting, no stress. Most smart chargers on the market also make it super easy to schedule your vehicle charging at specific times by using a smartphone app for ultimate convenience. This functionality also allows you to charge your vehicle outside of peak times when cheaper electricity rates are available.

4. Increase your property value
Although you may think an EV home charger is an expensive option, it is a worthwhile investment in the long term. A recent overseas study found that homes with an EV charger installed sell for 13% more than the local average.

Couchmans delivered exactly what was requested and went out of their way to ensure that the experience was a good one. I would not hesitate to recommend them for the supply and installation of your own EV charger.

We were recommended Couchmans by another electrical company. They came to fit off a mess left by another electrician fitting a range hood. They stayed longer and fixed up the mess beautifully and went the extra mile to make it look right. Very prompt service and very trustworthy. We would definitely call them again.
