Charging at home is the cheapest and most convenient way to run an electric vehicle. Planning the setup saves time and money.

Check your parking and permission

You need a fixed parking spot and, in apartments, approval from the housing society.

Know your electrical supply

Confirm that your wiring and meter can handle the extra load. An electrician can advise whether an upgrade is needed.
