You can get 3kW and 7kW chargers, and even 22kW, but 7kW is the most common. To roughly work out how many hours a charger would take to fully top up your car, just divide the energy of the battery in kWh by the speed of the charger in kW.  

According to the RAC, the average is around £800 – but you may be able to get a grant to help you pay if you live in rented accommodation or are a homeowner of a flat/apartment. See the GOV website for more information:

You’ll need to decide if you want a tethered charger (with a cable) or an untethered one (without a cable). Tethered is less fuss, but untethered has the bonus of being able to connect to pretty much any electric car.

You’ll have to see the charger on your wall every day, after all – so get something you like the look of!

There are a tonne of cool EV charger features out there – you might want to get a charger that’s compatible with your solar panels.
