The Home Easy Use Commercial EV Charging Station is the
single-phase 7kW AC charger with a maximum 32A output current,
specially designed for private use. It saves space and is easy to
operate, which is an ideal solution for your home or company.
The charger is equipped with RFID card function for ID
authentication to prevent theft of electricity. Only the user with
RFID card has access to the charging.
A 7kW charger adds up to 25-miles of range per hour, taking around
7 hours to top up a battery by 50kWh.
Charging is all about convenience, and the best way for it to be
convenient is for it to be fast.
If you live in a house with a single-phase power supply, the
fastest EV charger you can get is 7.4kW, which adds up to 30-miles
of range per hour.
The fastest single-phase home chargers are 7kW, 7.2kW and 7.4kW. A
higher number means faster charge speeds if your electric car
supports the max rate.
How long does it take to charge an electric car?
It takes five to eight hours to top up most electric car batteries
from 10-80% at 7kW. You shouldn’t go over 80% SoC to preserve the
battery.
The last 20% in a battery generates the most heat and also adds 2-3
hours onto the charge time at 7kW.
Calculating total charge time (cheat calculation)
As a general rule of thumb, for every two decimal point increases
(e.g., 7kw to 7.2kw), charge times are slashed 2%. So, a 7.4kW
charger is 4% faster than a 7kW charger.
How to get faster home charge speeds
Sometimes, your car might charge slowly. Try pre-heating the
battery before charging and see if this helps. Your charger might
also be balancing the power demand.
If you want even faster home charge speeds than 7kW, you need to
upgrade from a single-phase to a 3-phase power supply, which will
unlock the world of 11kW home chargers which are 57% faster than
7KW chargers.
