EV Charger Selector
Use this EV charger selector when you want to decide what kind of charging setup the house actually needs before you start comparing wallbox brands. It is built to stop homeowners overfocusing on charger headline power when the real decision is often about daily routine, electrical constraints, solar behavior, and future integration goals.

First-party
Work out which kind of home EV charging setup makes sense for your household.
What this tool is for
Who this tool is for
Households choosing what kind of EV charging setup they actually need before comparing exact charger brands.
What this tool now captures better
It still helps separate basic charging, solar-aware charging, and load-managed charging, but it now gives a better direction when the real bottleneck is the vehicle's AC limit or the home's electrical readiness rather than the charger brochure.
How to use the output
Treat the result as a setup decision first. In many homes, the right answer is not a more expensive charger but better electrical preparation, clearer solar behavior, or stronger load management.
Why this tool is worth using
- Separates the charger-power question from the real setup question.
- Now takes light vehicle-side and electrical-side constraints into account, such as the car's AC charging limit, main supply tightness, and whether a dedicated circuit is actually ready.
- Helps avoid paying for premium charger features or output that the car or home may never really use.
How to use it well
Be honest about daily charging demand
Many homes overestimate how much charger power they really need. A light or typical weekday routine often changes the best setup dramatically.
Treat car limits and home limits as real design inputs
If the car cannot actually accept high AC power, or the home is tight on electrical capacity, those facts matter more than buying a charger with a bigger number on the front.
Examples
Example
A single-phase home with light daily charging and a modest vehicle AC limit may not need a bigger wallbox at all, while a home with heavier daily charging and tighter electrical capacity may need load management before anything else.
What this tool does not replace
What this tool does not replace
It does not replace electrician advice, circuit planning, or final compatibility checks between car, charger, and home electrical capacity.
How to continue
Open the tool when you know the question you are trying to answer
Use the interactive version once you know what inputs matter and what kind of answer you are expecting from it.
Use the result as guidance, not a final purchase promise
These pages are designed to make the tool easier to use correctly, but you should still validate important hardware, tariff, and compatibility decisions before buying.
