This change directly affects how we “refuel” our daily energy needs. With internal-combustion vehicles, drivers depend on petrol stations when the tank runs empty. However, owning an electric car means that much of this process can now take place at home.
This completely transforms the driving experience. Drivers no longer have to actively look for somewhere to refuel. Instead, they can regularly charge their car in their garage or parking space. This usually takes place overnight through slow charging. It allows users to take advantage of off-peak hours, when electricity is much cheaper. It's also ideal when the car remains parked for many consecutive hours.
This new model does require some planning for very long journeys. Even so, it offers a competitive advantage: the ability to charge your electric car conveniently and efficiently. It is a significantly more cost-effective solution than traditional fuel. In addition, it is perfectly suited to both fully electric cars and plug-in hybrids.
Charging an electric vehicle at home is usually considerably cheaper than using fossil fuels. This is mainly due to the lower cost of electricity compared with hydrocarbons.
Electricity also offers two additional advantages:
As a result, drivers can significantly reduce the cost per mile travelled while also improving their energy independence.
To take full advantage of home charging, it is important not only to adapt driving habits, but also to have a correct and safe installation.
A charging point should always be installed by qualified installers who can guarantee compliance with current regulations and ensure the equipment is properly integrated into the home’s electrical installation. This includes incorporating the required electrical protection systems and correctly sizing the installation.
It is equally important to choose a reliable charger that not only meets the user’s current needs, but can also adapt to future requirements.
The eHome 5 range has been specifically designed for private parking facilities, offering smart energy management, integration with solar panels for more sustainable charging, and an advanced app that allows complete remote control. In addition, it stands out for offering the best value for money on the market. eHome 5 is a high-quality product compatible with all electric vehicle brands in Mode 3 through a Type 2 connection, providing a convenient and efficient charging experience.
Thanks to its ability to regulate the power supplied to the vehicle based on the available energy capacity, the eHome 5 charger is an ideal solution for home settings. Its main features include:
The device includes additional protection systems beyond those required by regulations, such as 6 mA DC leakage detection, which improves user safety in the event of leakage currents.
Users can decide who is allowed to use their charging point through different identification systems:
This feature prevents unauthorised use of the charger.
Through the mobile app, users can easily manage vehicle charging:
For homes with photovoltaic installations, the charger offers different operating modes:
This maximises the use of renewable energy generated at home.
The app also lets users view charging history, monitor consumption and export data. This makes it easier to keep track of energy costs and relate them directly to electricity expenses.
Transport electrification continues to grow, and it is becoming increasingly common for households to own more than one electric vehicle.
With this in mind, the system allows two eHome 5 chargers to operate in coordination, dynamically managing the available power within the installation. This makes it possible to charge two electric vehicles simultaneously without exceeding the contracted power capacity or overloading the electrical installation.
This turns the charger into a scalable, future-ready solution that can adapt to the growth of electric mobility without requiring major modifications to the installation.
