House charging
Domestic sockets to load the electric car
The clean cars blog describes in detail the different loading modes. And first essential information: It is not necessarily necessary to equip a specific charging system to load the electric car. A The home socket saves about 15 km of autonomy per hour one Maximum 2.4 kW power. However, it is necessary to check before the electrical system can accept a heavy load for a relatively long time. To increase the charging power if it is impossible directly on a home socket, you can equip yourself Reinforced affirmation, such as the intake of “Legrand Green’Up” which offers up to 3.2 kW of load.
Electric vehicle in condominiums
Furthermore, People in the collective housing can also install a socket or wallboxthanks to “right to take“In case of ownership, it is sufficient to make a request to the union or during the general assembly of property. A specialized company can proceed with the installation.

Roads that recharge the battery from our cars?
And electricity develops, many theories on future concepts are discussed: the idea in particular of a road that would load the vehicles. The concept? The road could feed electric vehicles with electricity thanks to AA Induction charging system.
