Almost everyone I know with an EV charging at home just reused the 240v dryer socket to avoid paying for a dedicated fast charger. It's often cheaper too to have an electrician fit a new 240v socket instead of the dedicated charger as well.
- baq 5mo agoHome chargers with dedicated sockets is three phase 400v actually over here in the EU and every single home, and even relatively new apartments have that because of induction stoves.
- rootusrootus 5mo ago> every single home Let me guess, you live in Germany? :) Three phase power is definitely not 100% in the EU. Not even in Germany, though adoption does tend to be higher than neighboring countries. And FWIW, I find that my induction cooktop works wonderfully on plain old 240V 40A, so I do not think it is a requirement to get three-phase for that ;-).
