One of the biggest questions new EV owners in Malaysia face is: Where do I charge my car? While public chargers are expanding, nothing beats the convenience of plugging in at your own parking spot and waking up to a full battery every morning.
But installing a home EV charger isn’t always straightforward. From understanding power supply requirements to choosing the right charger size, many first-time EV owners don’t know where to start.
Why install an EV charger at home?
For most EV owners, the real game-changer isn’t just driving electric, but the ability to recharge at home. Instead of waiting in line at a public charger or planning trips around charging stops, you can simply plug in overnight and wake up to a full battery every morning.
Not only is this the most convenient way to keep your car ready, it’s also often cheaper than relying on public DC fast chargers. And perhaps most importantly, having a charger at home gives you peace of mind, knowing that your car will always be charged and ready when you need it.
What to consider before installing
When setting up an EV charger at home, there are a few key factors to think about:
- Power supply: Do you have single-phase or three-phase wiring? This determines whether you can install a 7kW, 11kW, or even 22kW charger.
- Safety mechanisms: Proper installation includes dedicated wiring, an EV distribution board (EVDB), and a cut-off switch (isolator) for safe operation.
- Charger type: From compact 3.3kW options to 22kW AC chargers and even 30kW DC fast chargers, the right choice depends on your EV and charging habits.
- Installation costs: Pricing is based on your home’s wiring setup and may vary after a site evaluation.
