Just finished getting my home charger installed and learned a lot along the way. Here's what I wish someone had told me: **Choosing a charger:** - 7kW is plenty for overnight charging (adds ~30 miles/hour) - Smart chargers are worth the extra cost for scheduling off-peak rates - Make sure it's OZEV grant eligible if you're in the UK **Installation tips:** - Get multiple quotes (prices varied from £800-£1,500 for the same charger) - Check your consumer unit has space for a new circuit - Consider future-proofing with a higher-rated cable - Wi-Fi signal matters if you want smart features **Costs:** - Charger: £500-800 - Installation: £300-700 - OZEV grant: -£350 Happy to answer questions about the process!
