You can charge your electric car at home as well. Yes, you read it right! Unlike fuel pumps, you don’t have to rely solely on public charging stations to power up your electric car. Most people prefer charging their electric car overnight, just like how you charge your mobile. You plug in your car before going to sleep, and it’s fully charged by the time you’re ready to leave for work in the morning. You can use either a regular 15-amp 3-pin home socket or a wall-mounted EV charger provided by electric car brands.
You can install this at your parking space with some electrical work like wiring and earthing. Most EV owners prefer home charger as its economic, gentle on the battery and convenient.
However, if you’re heading out on longer trips, you’ll need to use public charging stations, which can charge electric cars like the Tata Nexon from 20% to 80% in about 50 minutes (depending on the charger type). Public charging stations are the equivalent of fuel pumps for traditional cars, set up by companies like Charge Zone, Jio-BP Pulse, Zeon, Statiq, and many more. You’ll need to install their charging apps to start a charging session at their stations.
While public charging stations often come with fast chargers, using them frequently to charge your electric car could hamper the efficiency of your battery. Hence, it’s best to use public charging stations only when you plan long trips or are running short on battery before reaching your destination.
