Untethered chargers

These car chargers have no attached charging lead.

Whilst this is good because it allows you to connect both a Type 1 or Type 2 lead, it can be more hassle getting the cable out your boot every time you want to plug in.

Tethered chargers

These car chargers have the charging lead attached already. 

This is more convenient as you can just pull up and plug in, as opposed to retrieving your car’s charging lead from the boot.

There are Type 1 to Type 2 converters are available.

Comparing charge prices

Charging your electric car from home will save you money. Going through the energy tariffs can be a bit of a minefield, but it can be worth it. We’ve been crunching the numbers for you to compare some of the best tariffs for electric cars.

The “Intelligent Go” tariff from Octopus Energy is currently one of the cheapest options available. But there is a catch – currently these intelligent (also known as smart) tariffs only works with certain cars and compatible home chargers (such as Ohme EV chargers) but more are being added all the time.

The compatible car list is growing all the time, currently it is about 280 cars from major brands such as Audi, BMW, Cupra, Ford, Jaguar/Land Rover, MINI, Porsche, SEAT, Skoda, Tesla or VW.

The 7.5p per kW/h rate on the “Intelligent Go” tariff from Octopus Energy also works on the whole house for 6 hours every night (between 11:30pm and 05:30am) so it is a good time to set the dishwasher or washing machine to run their cycles then.

Charge speed

Using a regular 2.4kW standard three-pin plug in a wall socket takes in excess of 30+ hours depending on your car type. 

You can slash those charging times to under 10 hours by using a dedicated charger, plus you could qualify for better tariff prices too.

Testimonials

What can I say? Joe and the team at Alphatec Group delivered a fast, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient service! They gave great advice on what charger would best suit my needs and really took the time during the install to explain everything I needed to know about the product.

I was sent all the electrical certification over, with no need to chase. They left the area where they worked clean and tidy. I cannot fault the service I have received - highly recommend to anyone considering an electric vehicle home charger!
