Tethered
- Most electric car owners choose to buy tethered chargers, and they’re the most common type of home EV charger that you’ll see.
- A tethered home charger has a cable attached for you to plug into the car.
- Tethered EV chargers are convenient as you simply uncoil the attached cable and plug it into your vehicle, handy in bad weather.
Untethered
- Untethered chargers also known as socketed, are universal allowing for use of your own cables.
- Most electric vehicles come with a charge cable in the boot, which is used to store it, but can be a little messy in bad weather
- Socketed chargers are great if you prefer the neater look to the install if fitted to a front facing wall without the coiled cable.
