Fronius Wattpilot Go 22J - 22 kW, portable EV charger

When choosing a home car charger, compatibility and available power are paramount.

First, it's worth checking the maximum charging power your car supports (e.g., 1 phase / 3 phase, kW), as the charger will need to match this. A more powerful charger does not necessarily mean faster charging if the car cannot utilize its full capacity.

Additionally, it's important to consider the capacity of your property's electrical grid to ensure the charger can operate safely and not overload the system.

If you're thinking long-term, it's worth choosing a charger with smart features (e.g., scheduling, load management, integration with solar systems) that allow for more efficient and economical use.

The main difference between single-phase and three-phase chargers lies in their charging power and grid requirements.

Single-phase chargers typically provide 3.6–7.4 kW of power, making them ideal primarily for systems with lower power consumption or lower charging needs.

Three-phase chargers, on the other hand, can deliver up to 11 or 22 kW of power, allowing for significantly faster charging.

However, it is important to note that faster charging is only achievable if both the electrical grid and the car support three-phase charging. Without this, the system will operate at limited power.

If you are unsure about your choice, it is advisable to check the technical specifications of both your property and your vehicle in advance to avoid oversizing or undersizing.

The charging time of an electric car depends on the battery size and the charger's power.

For an average battery with a capacity of ~60 kWh:

From a standard household socket (2.3 kW): approx. 24–30 hours
With an 11 kW wall charger: approx. 5–7 hours
With a 22 kW charger: approx. 3–5 hours (only if the car supports it)

It's important to note that charging in practice is not linear (it slows down towards the end), so the actual time may always be slightly longer.

If you regularly charge your car at home, a wall charger is a significantly faster and safer solution than a traditional socket.

In most cases, a 2-5 year manufacturer's warranty applies, ensuring the reliable operation of the device under normal use.
