3 questions to help you decide which is the best EV Charger for you:
1: Do I have single phase or three phase power?
When considering the best EV charger for your electric vehicle, the first question you need to ask yourself is whether you have access to single phase or three-phase power.
Why?The type of power available at your location will determine which EV charger you can use.
2: Do you want a smart EV charger?
A smart EV charger is an electric vehicle charging station with integrated connectivity features and advanced functionality.
These chargers can communicate with other devices and networks, enabling users to remotely monitor their charging sessions through a mobile app or web portal.
Benefits of Smart EV Charger
Smart chargers can provide:

3: Socket or tethered?
