Home EV Charger Selector: Budget, Solar & Supply
Find home EV chargers within your hardware budget and available supply. Compare catalogue options by solar support, tethered cable preference, vehicle AC power and named supplier integration. Choose the UK or Ireland to see products priced in the local currency. Choose a car to load catalogue specifications. Other starting values are editable examples; use the rates from your bill.
Your inputs
How to choose a home EV charger for your supply
The selector filters by market, supply, known price within budget and required smart integration. Solar and cable choices influence ranking. Hardware prices exclude installation and must be confirmed with the seller.
Frequently asked questions
Which home EV charger is compatible with my energy supplier?
Choose the supplier and set “Must work with this supplier” to require a matching catalogue integration. Smart charging is a separate requirement. A listed integration does not prove eligibility for every tariff: confirm the precise charger, vehicle and tariff combination with the supplier.
Can I choose a charger before checking my main fuse?
You can build a shortlist, but it does not approve the installation. An installer must assess maximum demand, the actual supply and any network work or load management required.
Does the budget include charger installation?
No. It is a hardware-only budget in the chosen market's currency. Products with unknown prices or prices above your budget are excluded. Obtain an installation quote separately.
Why are no matching chargers shown?
The verified catalogue may not contain a product meeting all your required filters and budget. Review the inputs or ask an installer about other products. A product being absent is not evidence that it is unsuitable.
Guides for your charging decision
How this works
We filter by country, supply, known hardware price within your budget and required smart capability. A named supplier is a preference unless you require its integration explicitly. Unknown supplies show single-phase options only. We rank up to four matches by fit with your AC limit, solar needs, hardware budget, cable preference, supplier and load balancing, using the weights on our methodology page. Ties use usable AC power, load balancing and hardware price. Catalogue specifications and prices need confirmation with the manufacturer and installer; a listed supplier integration does not guarantee eligibility for a particular tariff.
Hardware budgets exclude installation. Products with unknown prices are excluded because we cannot confirm that they fit your budget. Warranty and grant eligibility must be checked for your location and purchase date.
If a charger is not in the catalogue, enter its power in thecharging time calculatorto estimate charging time. We only recommend products currently recorded in the catalogue, so an absent product is not a negative recommendation.

Keep the assumptions in view
Use the usable battery capacity and AC rating from your vehicle documentation. Use electricity prices from your current bill. Estimates do not replace an electrical survey or a supplier quote.
