Why install a home charger
An electric car's charging speed is measured in kilowatts (kW). The UK's public charging network is continually expanding to meet the increasing popularity of electric cars, with some public charging points providing 100kW rapid charging.
Charge prices
At home, an electric vehicle charging point can typically deliver 7.4kW, whereas a standard three-pin socket provides only up to 2.3kW. Installing an Indra home charger enables faster, greener, and more cost-effective charging for your vehicle.
