You can charge from a standard three-pin socket, but it is slow and not designed for continuous high-load charging. A dedicated home charger is faster, safer, and more efficient. Most EV owners install one to ensure reliable overnight charging and to avoid putting strain on household wiring.
A standard wall plug usually charges at 1.8–2.4 kW, giving roughly 8–12 km of range per hour. A typical home charger delivers 7.2 kW (single phase) or up to 22 kW (three phase), depending on your home supply. That can equate to 30–120 km of range per hour—often 4–10 times faster.
Costs vary depending on:
• the distance from your switchboard
• whether cabling needs to run through walls or underground
• whether your home requires electrical upgrades

You must use a licensed electrician. EV chargers require specialised wiring and must meet NZ electrical safety regulations. DIY installation can void the charger warranty and your home insurance.
