As electric vehicles (EVs) become more common across Europe, North America, and many other regions, choosing the right EV charger has become an important step for both homeowners and businesses. With many types and standards available, how do you know which EV charger suits your needs best?
Here’s a quick and practical guide to help you decide.
1. Understand the Charging Standards
Before choosing a charger, it’s important to know that charging standards vary by region:
- Europe mainly uses Type 2 connectors (IEC 62196), with power ratings of 7kW, 11kW, or 22kW
- North America mainly uses Type 1 (SAE J1772) standard
- For adapters, dual-standard options are also available for certain markets
✅ Tip: Always check your vehicle’s charging port and your country’s power system before purchasing.
2. Choose the Right Charging Power
EV chargers come in different power levels. The most common ones for AC (alternating current) wall chargers are:
| Power Output | Voltage | Phase | Charging Speed | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 kW | 230V | Single-phase | ~30–40 km/hour | Homes (Europe) |
| 11 kW | 400V | Three-phase | ~50–60 km/hour | Homes with 3-phase, small businesses |
| 22 kW | 400V | Three-phase | ~80–100 km/hour | Commercial use, fleets, shared parking |
✅ Tip: The higher the kW, the faster the charging — but it must match your available electrical infrastructure.
3. Check Smart Features
Modern EV chargers offer intelligent control features, allowing more flexibility and control:
- RFID card: For secure access and authorization
- Mobile App: Control charging remotely, check data, set timers
- OCPP (1.6J): Integration with charging platforms or commercial billing systems
✅ These features are optional — choose what fits your needs best.
4. Indoor or Outdoor Use? Check the Protection Rating
If your charger is installed outdoors, ensure it’s dustproof and waterproof. Our chargers offer:
- IP55 or IP65 protection level
- Operating temperature: -30°C to +50°C
- Housing material: PC+ABS, UV-resistant and flame-retardant
✅ These make our chargers durable and safe even in harsh outdoor environments.
5. Installation & Compatibility
Before buying, consider:
- Cable length (5m / 7m / customizable)
- Wall-mounted vs. stand-mounted
- Electrical setup: single or three-phase
- Compatibility with your EV model
If unsure, consult with your electrician or installer to confirm system readiness.
