the maximum rate you can charge at on a single phase is 7kWh. Therefore, 7kWh chargers are most commonly used for domestic home charging.<\/p>\n<p>Some modern developments are now feeding an AC three phase supply. If your premises does have a three phase supply, you can benefit from faster charger speeds and therefore could opt for a 22kWh charger.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, 22kW chargers are most commonly used on smaller commercial premises, workplace or modern developments. However, some EV\u2019s are only setup to pull 7kWh on an AC supply and therefore not all vehicles can charge at these higher rates of charge (on AC), so it\u2019s worth checking if your vehicle can handle 22kWh charges. (not to be confused with public charge points, which charge on DC \u2013 all EV\u2019s will charge at faster DC charging rates)<\/p>\n<p>That being said, you wouldn\u2019t do any damage plugging into a 22kWh AC charger, instead your vehicle would simply revert to charging at the slower 7kWh rates. In this circumstance, opting for a 22kWh might purely future proof you for when you do opt for a vehicle which doe\u2019s accept these rates of charge.<\/p>\n<p>Public chargers (known as rapid chargers) are usually DC and charge at much faster rates, often between 50kWh \u2013 150kWh, although, usually for a much higher cost. Public rapid chargers found in numerous public locations are totally different kettle of fish and are usually tens of thousands of pounds in comparison to commercial fast chargers or home <a href=\"https:\/\/myenergi.com\/zappi-ev-charger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EV chargers<\/a> which are fraction of the price. It is equally not possible for domestic properties to have DC chargers as there is not enough power and homes in the UK are on an AC supply, so they don\u2019t meet the required legislation.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        \n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t<div id='block-columns-block_627d24d84ce14'  class='bg-white flexi-block columns-block pt-8 lg:pt-16 pb-8 lg:pb-16 columns overflow-x-hidden'>\n\t\t<div class=\"container relative z-10 mx-auto max-w-8xl\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 gap-7.5 lg:grid-cols-2 \">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full w-full load-hidden flex flex-wrap flex-col column column-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full first-mt-0 last-mb-0 grow content-wrapper relative sm:px-10 pb-7 xl:pl-20 xl:pr-32 lg:py-16 pt-9 pb-8 md:pb-[62px] lg:pt-14 md:pt-16 sm:bg-grey-19 rounded-b-2.5xl !rounded-2.5xl \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"h3  text-left  \">What is a smart EV charger?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A Truly Smart EV charger considers the integration with future technologies and relieves pressure from our electricity grid\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/myenergi.com\/zappi-ev-charger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smart EV chargers<\/a> in their simplest form are chargers which can be connected to the internet.

The process simply involves putting more electricity into your car\u2019s battery at a faster rate. Where a typical 3 pin 13amp plug socket in the home would charge at the rate of 2.3kWh, fast chargers charge at more than three times the speed. 22kWh in comparison charge at more than nine times the speed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 2.3kWh 3 pin plug socket (known as granny charging) \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>would take around\u00a0<strong>24 hours<\/strong>\u00a0on average to fully charge from 0 \u2013
