Home charging is by far the cheapest and most convenient option:
Most EV owners do 80%+ of their charging at home.
| Charger Type | Power Output | Typical Full Charge Time (60 kWh) | Best For | Approx. Hardware Cost (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 (Portable) | 2.3–3.7 kW | 16–26 hours | Temporary / light use | 500–1,500 |
| Level 2 Wallbox (AC) | 7.4 kW | 7–9 hours | Most villas & apartments | 1,800–4,000 |
| Level 2 Wallbox (AC) | 11 kW | 5–6 hours | Faster home charging | 2,500–5,000 |
| Level 2 Wallbox (AC) | 22 kW | 2.5–3.5 hours | Three-phase homes | 2,800–8,000 |
| Item | Cost Range (AED) | Notes |

| Level 2 Wallbox Charger | 1,800 – 8,000 | Smart features, app control, load balancing |
| Installation Labour & Materials | 1,200 – 4,000 | Cable length, routing, breaker, isolator |
