As electric vehicles (EVs) become more common on Indian roads, home EV charging is quickly becoming a must-have convenience for EV owners. Installing a charger at home means you can plug in your car or bike overnight and wake up to a full battery—no waiting at public stations.

Here’s a simple guide to help you understand how to set up your EV charger at home safely and efficiently.

Step 1: Choose the Right Type of Charger

Home chargers come in two main types:

1. Portable Chargers (Level 1)

Usually come with your EV.

Plug directly into a standard 3-pin household socket.

Charging time: 8–12 hours (ideal for two-wheelers or small cars).

2. Wall-Mounted Chargers (Level 2)

Fixed installation on your wall or parking area.

Require a dedicated electrical line and professional installation.

Charging time: 3–5 hours for a full charge.

Best for: Daily use, larger batteries, and long-term convenience.

Step 2: Assess Your Home Power Supply

Before installation, it’s important to check if your home electrical system can handle the additional load.

Verify your power connection capacity (single-phase or three-phase).

Ensure proper earthing and circuit breakers.

Consider a dedicated meter line if you plan frequent fast charging.

Tip: CharzeUp experts can inspect your site and recommend the safest, most efficient setup for your home.

Step 3: Select the Right Charger Model

Choose a model that matches your EV’s charging connector type and your home’s electrical setup.
Popular connector standards include:

Type 2 (IEC 62196)—Common for most EV cars in India.

GB/T—Often used for electric two-wheelers.

CCS2—For high-speed charging of modern EVs.

Consider chargers with smart features such as Wi-Fi connectivity, mobile app control, and power monitoring for ease of use.

Step 4: Get Professional Installation

Proper installation ensures safety and performance. A certified technician will:

Mount the charger securely on the wall.

Connect it to a dedicated circuit.

Test voltage, grounding, and connectivity.

Configure smart settings (if applicable).
