Charging your electric vehicle in your garage is one of the great advantages of electric mobility. It saves you time, avoids unnecessary trips and ensures that the car is always ready to use.

For this process to be safe and efficient, it is important to know the options available and the care you should take.

 

Install a suitable charging station

The first step is to ensure that your home's electrical installation supports the necessary power. While it is possible to use a regular outlet, this option is not the safest or most efficient.

The recommended solution is to install a specific charging station, prepared for the continuous consumption and electrical demands of the vehicle. This installation must be done by a qualified technician, to ensure the correct connection and adequate protection of the circuit.

 

Choosing the right location

Charging should be done, whenever possible, in a protected and ventilated space, such as a garage. If it is outdoors, it is important to make sure that the equipment has an IP65 rating or higher, ensuring resistance to water and dust.

In addition, it is important that the charger is well secured and with the cables organised, to avoid falls or damage during use.

 

Precautions to be taken during charging

To ensure safety and extend the life of both the charger and the vehicle, there are some simple precautions that make a difference:

• Avoid the use of extension cords or adapters, which can overheat and cause electrical failures.
• Regularly check the condition of the cables and plugs. If you notice abnormal wear or heating, discontinue use and contact a technician.
• Do not charge in wet places or in direct rain unless the equipment is protected against these weather conditions.
• Observe the manufacturer's instructions on charging time and current. Note that charging the vehicle to the maximum is not always the most suitable.
• Be sure to unplug the charger properly after use, avoiding pulling the cord hard.
