Charging your car at home
To charge your plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle at home, the best option is to get a dedicated charger. You can set charging times and may be able to benefit from special EV energy rates. We offer Toyota HomeCharge to enable you to charge at home.
Benefits of charging your electric vehicle at home
-
Convenient
A home charging point makes charging your vehicle an easy part of your routine. It saves time and reduces the need for frequent stops at service stations. Plug in overnight and wake up to a fully charged battery, much like charging your mobile phone.
-
Save money
Charging your electric car at home is also more cost-effective than using public chargers, particularly if you use an off-peak energy tariff for home charging. These tariffs can help you to save more money when you charge at certain times.
-
Flexibility
We highly recommend installing an electric car charger like Toyota HomeCharge, which we can assist you with. When necessary, you can also plug into a standard domestic socket.

What do I need to install a home charger?

Electrical safety check: If you own or rent a property built before 2008, and are planning to install a Toyota HomeCharge, we will arrange for British Gas to check your electrics are up to standard free of charge. Not all properties are suitable for an EV charger, and some may require electrical work before installation.
