E.V. Charger

Each year, the electric motor vehicle
market grows more and more. This is
largely due to the continued increase
in the price of oil as well as numerous
environmental campaigns. Many
customers now own electric motor
vehicles and many more have taken
an interest in purchasing one.
Because of this increasing demand for
electric motor vehicles, numerous
innovations and inventions have also
popped up in the electric automotive
field.
Obviously, one of the products most
affected by these new innovations are
the electric charging systems.
Companies have been striving to
develop new E.V. chargers that are
more efficient and easy to use.
As such, these new changes could
render your old charging systems
obsolete and incompatible with the
latest charging stations, or worse,
with the electric motor vehicle itself.
This means that when you buy an E.V.
charger or do an E.V. home charger
installation, you have to make sure
that they are future proof so they
don’t become obsolete when new
technology comes out.
Tips to Remember When Choosing
Your Electric Car Charger
Go for Modular Chargers
With modular electric car chargers,
you don’t have to throw away the
whole system whenever there is an
upgrade or a component needs to be
changed. 
Modular E.V. chargers ensure that
they will be used for a long time since
they are designed to allow you to
upgrade or replace specific parts as
needed rather than change your E.V.
charger all together. With a modular
E.V. charger, you can easily upgrade
your kW output or replace a part that
needs changed.
Go for a Charging Point with High
Charging Capacity
You might want to buy a home
charging point with a 22kW
capability. Most homes only charge at
7kW because they are run on a single-
phase power supply. However, once
you move to a three-phase power
supply, the latter runs at 22kW.
22kW
The good thing about choosing a
22kW capability is that even if you are
only charging at 7kW, your cable and
unit would still be working perfectly
since they are within their maximum
limits, making them last longer and
preventing them from being
overloaded. 
In fact, a charging point with a 22kW
capability would be able to support
3.7kW, 7kW, 11kW and 22kW. 
Unlike those with lower capabilities,
which cannot handle higher power
supplies, a 22kW capability allows
you to support those with lower
power capabilities.
By choosing a 22kW capability for
your charge point, you will be ready in
case three-phase power supply
becomes the standard in the future.
Even if you will not be using it at full
capacity just yet, you won’t need to
change it anytime you plan to
upgrade to a higher-capacity power
supply.
Pick a Smart and Durable E.V.
Charger
Through a smart charging system,
your electric motor vehicle, your
charger, and your charging point are
able to share data connection. As
such, you will be able to measure and
manage the energy usage remotely.
Now isn’t that convenient? Not only
that, a smart E.V. charger also has
new features including automatic
unplugging once your electric motor
vehicle becomes fully charged. 
A smart charging system is future
proof as it will allow you to simply
add new features to old existing
charging stations.
In line with this, you also have to
make sure that your electric car
charger is made with strong and
durable materials. This will ensure
that your E.V. charger will not easily
break and will last for a very long
time.
Buy Your E.V. Charger from
Innovative Brands
By buying from innovative brands,
you can be sure that your E.V. charger
is the latest technology in the market,
meaning it will be a long time before it
becomes obsolete. 
Further, innovative brands can also
come up with ways to improve and
integrate older systems to make them
compatible with newer technologies.
Either way, you can be sure that your
E.V. charger will be compatible with
your electric vehicle and charging
system.
Electric motor vehicles are the future
of the automotive industry. As such, it
might be wise to start investing in one
instead of the traditional motor
vehicles that run on fuel.
