EV home charging options in Ireland
Most domestic electric car owners in Ireland choose a 7.4kW wall-mounted charger — a safe, fast, and reliable solution installed on an exterior wall or in a garage. Our registered electricians can help you select and install the right charger for your vehicle and budget.
Standard home EV chargers (typically 7.4kW)
The most popular choice for Irish households, 7.4kW AC chargers provide a full overnight charge and are compatible with nearly all modern EVs. These require a dedicated circuit and professional installation for safety and grant compliance.
Tethered vs untethered chargers
Choose between a tethered unit (with built-in charging cable) or an untethered version (where you use your own cable). Tethered units are more convenient, while untethered units offer cleaner aesthetics and flexibility.
Smart EV chargers
Smart chargers let you schedule charging during off-peak hours, monitor energy usage, and control the charger remotely via a smartphone app. SEAI now requires smart functionality for grant-eligible installations.
Solar-ready and load-balancing options
If your home has solar panels or limited electricity capacity, some chargers can be integrated with solar PV systems or equipped with dynamic load balancing to avoid overloading your mains supply.
SEAI Home Charger Grant
Homeowners in Ireland can apply for a €300 grant through the **SEAI Electric Vehicle Home Charger Grant**. To qualify, your installer must be SEAI-registered and the charger must be smart-enabled.
- Grant available to homeowners and most private EV owners
- Applies to new and second-hand EVs (not hybrids)
- Charger must be installed at a home with off-street parking
- Application must be approved before installation begins
All electricians in our network can help you apply for the grant and ensure the charger meets the technical requirements.
