7/22/25
As EV adoption surges worldwide, more Tesla, BYD, XPeng, Xiaomi, Volvo, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Denza owners are switching to home charging for greater convenience, lower energy costs, and charging flexibility.
In this 2025 guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose the right EV charger for your vehicle and lifestyle — whether you're a first-time EV owner or upgrading your current setup.
✅Wall-Mounted vs Portable EV Chargers
🏠 Wall-Mounted vs Portable EV Chargers
There are two main types of home EV chargers to consider: wall-mounted (Wallbox) chargers and portable plug-in units. The best choice depends on your home layout, charging habits, and travel needs.
✅ Wall-Mounted Chargers (Wallbox)
Delivers faster charging speeds — up to 22kW
Provides a neat, permanent installation
Ideal for garages, private driveways, or residential buildings
🧳 Portable EV Chargers
Compact and travel-friendly — perfect for road trips or backup use
Supports multiple socket types (with adapter cables)
Plug-and-play convenience — no fixed installation required
✅Type 2: The Global Standard for EV Charging
Type 2 has become the most widely adopted charging connector across Europe and Asia, making it the de facto standard for home and public EV charging.
Popular EV models like Tesla (EU/Asia), BYD, XPeng, Xiaomi, and BMW either use Type 2 directly or support it via CCS2 combo extension.
