EV CHARGERS

An Electric Vehicle (EV) charger, also known as an EV charging station, is a device that supplies electricity to an electric vehicle (EV) to replenish its battery. They come in various forms and can be found at homes, workplaces, public charging stations, and even some shopping centers.

Yes, you can install an EV charger at your home in the UAE, and Legend Green Energy can simplify the process for you! While you’ll still need approval from your local electricity authority, Legend Green Energy can help you navigate the application and ensure everything meets regulations.

The charging time for an EV battery at home depends on a few factors:

1. Charger type: There are two main types of home chargers – Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 chargers, typically included with the car, plug into a standard household outlet and offer slower charging speeds (around 2-5 miles per hour of charging). Level 2 chargers are hardwired into your electrical system and provide much faster charging (around 10-30 miles per hour).
2. Battery size: Larger battery packs in EVs will take longer to charge than smaller ones.
3. Car’s onboard charger: This built-in component regulates the charging process. Its capacity can affect charging speed.

For most EVs with a Level 2 charger at home, a full charge can be achieved overnight (6-8 hours). However, it’s important to consult your car’s manual for specific charging times based on your model and set-up.
