You can get your home EV charger installed in locations such as your garage or on an outside wall if adequate space is available. The older designs of thermoset plastic plugs were far more heat-tolerant and were able to dissipate the 1W of heat from the fuse without over-heating.This means they can be set to charge your car when there is less demand on the grid or when more renewable electricity is available. I know you mentioned the Indra Smart Pro as having one of the best apps, but are there any other untethered smart chargers you’d suggest I take a look at?
