How do you charge an electric car at home?

Like most electrical appliances that you have at home, an electric car charges on the mains via a cable. This cable, which is supplied with the car, can therefore be plugged into a home charging point or a public charging point. You can charge at an electric socket using a cable available as an option.

Technical info:

• a home charging station (or a reinforced socket)
• cables adapted and known as ”Type 2” or Flexicharger (for use with a reinforced domestic socket).

Practical tips:

• we advise you to charge your vehicle up to 80% every day to optimise the charging time and improve the battery’s life. Only plan charging to 100% before a long journey to ensure maximum driving range on the road.
• Travel with greater peace of mind using your Charge Pass charge card. It gives you access to the best charging network in Europe.
