Accessories for your electric car charger
It's often assumed that charging cables will come with an electric car. Not quite – it all depends on whether it's brand new or second-hand as well as how generous the manufacturer is feeling at the time.
Smart Home Charge offer everything you need for your home electric car charger including EV charging cables, charge point covers and more. You can even opt for a tethered cable with your home charger installation, which means the charging cable stays connected to the charge point all the time.
Your home charge point
Following a review of the market, and taking into account customer feedback, The Electric Car Scheme and Smart Home Charge recommend the Easee One as the charger to include with your car if you need one.
Recommended by 97% of customers who own one, the Easee One is a smartly designed, simple-to-use charge point that comes ‘untethered’ – meaning you can connect any electric car charging cable to the unit. It also has all the features you would need in a sleek and simple package. That’s why it’s our recommended charger for your vehicle.
If you have more complex requirements tailored to your home - please do discuss it with one of our team when you order your car.
The smart way to install a home charge point
If you include a new charge point via The Electric Car Scheme, you can pay for the charger as part of your salary-sacrifice package - so you can pay for it using your gross salary and enjoy the full tax savings on the charger too - that’s typically £300-600 saved!
