If you are interested in this topic, read our blog, as you can find many useful articles about electric cars and how to get the most out of them – whether it’s about charging solutions, smart applications, energy management, or the future of electromobility. If you are curious about how home charging with green energy works, or what app can help you navigate the charging stations, you are in the right place.

In this article, we will look at why it is worth getting a car charger for home. It will cover the limitations of factory chargers, the advantages of wall chargers, and how the Voltie application and charging system can help in this.

The factory charger is not for long-term use

Most electric cars come with a so-called emergency charger that can be connected to a regular household outlet. This is useful if you need some energy while on vacation or far from home. However, if you use this every day at home, you may face the fact that a full charge can take up to 20-30 hours. What’s even more concerning is that charging from an outlet is not safe, as it can lead to overheating or overloading the network. Especially if it's an old outlet. Furthermore, we cannot keep track of our charges.

A personal charger is faster and safer

The Voltie charger can charge your car much faster and more safely than the factory emergency charger. These devices are specifically designed for long-term use. The built-in control units monitor the charging process, interrupting it if there is a risk of overheating, for example. With Voltie chargers, you also have flexible power adjustment options, which can be helpful if multiple electric devices are using your home network at the same time.

With the Voltie application, you can control when, how, and with how much energy you recharge your car. You can schedule your charges, monitor your energy consumption, and customize the settings – for example, you can time it so that the charging only starts when your home solar system is producing energy.
