Explore our range of advanced EV chargers for homes, businesses, and public infrastructure.
Mode 1 charging is the most basic form of charging and involves a standard electrical socket. It’s often referred to as “household charging” because it uses a standard household AC outlet without any specialised infrastructure. Mode 1 chargers are typically used for low-power applications like charging mobile phones or laptops. However, they are not suitable for high-power applications like EVs because standard household outlets may not provide the necessary current and safety features.
Mode 2 charging involves a standard electrical socket but includes additional safety features and control mechanisms. These features are typically integrated into the charging cable or an adapter, rather than the socket itself. Mode 2 chargers are commonly used for charging EVs at home using a dedicated cable with safety features like built-in residual current devices (RCDs). They provide a safer and more controlled way to charge compared to Mode 1.
Smart chargers can vary in charging speed, but many offer Mode 3 charging capabilities.
Review the manufacturer’s warranty to understand what components are covered and for how long. Also, consider the long-term maintenance requirements for the charger.
The proper installation of your CITA EV charger is crucial for both safety and efficiency. You can choose between wall-mounted units or stand-alone posts based on your space and design preferences. Selecting the ideal placement and ensuring the right cable length are key considerations during installation.
