The UK’s electric vehicle (EV) revolution is accelerating, and with it comes a surge in demand for home charging solutions. Around 300,000 home chargers were installed last year alone, taking the total to more than 700,000, according to charging network data provider Zap‑Map. By the end of 2024, that figure had passed the one million mark, underlining just how quickly the market is expanding as EV sales grow and petrol and diesel cars are gradually phased out.

For many households, a home charger is now an essential piece of kit. If you’re going to be plugging in your car a couple of times a week, you’ll want a unit that’s easy to live with and simple to operate and What Car have compiled a list of the best EV chargers that they tested.

The Cost of Convenience

Buying a home EV charger is not a trivial expense. While some manufacturers or dealers include a charger with the purchase of a new car, most drivers will need to make a significant investment. That makes it all the more important to choose wisely, ensuring that the unit you buy is dependable and supported by strong after‑sales service.

To help demystify the process, What Car surveyed 6,231 EV owners about their experiences. Respondents shared their views on everything from the ease of ordering their charger to the quality of ongoing customer support.
