Domestic EV Charging

Domestic home charging of the Electric Vehicle (EV)  is the most convenient way of charging or topping up your Electric Vehicle. The EV charging stations are faster than the cables that connect to the GPO, to charge the car. The convenience of charging the vehicle faster and the ability to integrate with the Solar PV for cheaper charging makes home charging a feasible option for many EV drivers. Analogically, domestic EV charging is like mobile phone charging; plug in overnight and top-up during the day.

ChargeStar offers domestic charging stations with different features that make your EV charging journey easier. Some of the features among many are; Programmable Scheduled charging, Bluetooth access, and control, Solar PV Integration, Mobile Application based Control and Monitoring System, Electrical Protection, etc.
