Why Home Charger?
Why Should You Install a Home Charger?
Many new EV owners would have entertained the thought of if it is worth it installing a home charger.
- Efficient: It charges more quickly than a standard socket.
- Safe: Prolonged charging may result in socket overheating; it’s advisable to choose certified chargers instead.
- Cost Efficient: Charging your electric vehicle at home is more cost-effective compared to public charging. In Malaysia, the highest tariff rate is RM0.571/kWh, for instance, a full charge for a BYD extended range would cost RM34.53.
- Convenience: Arrive home, plug in, and your car is always ready whenever you need it.
- Fast Charging: Fast charging more than 3X a month increases the battery degradation by 0.1% compared to drivers who abstain from fast charging entirely.
