If you have more than one electric car at home, do you need two home charge points or is one enough? Most people will get on fine with just one, but here are some things to consider.
You may just be starting your electric car journey but believe it or not some people are already part of a multi-EV household – in other words, they own more than one electric vehicle.
A common question we are asked is “Do I need two chargers if I have two or more electric cars?”. Or customers with more than one EV assume they need more than one home charger.
The answer will depend on your own individual situation.
If you’re sure you want to have more than one home EV charger to charge two electric cars, for example, then we would recommend the MIDA Charger , allows you to “daisy chain” up to three chargers, which will evenly share the power of the electrical circuit they are connected to.
- Sequential Charging
With two EVs plugged in at maximum amperage (32-40 amps) the Smart Splitter will fully charge the EV on the Primary side before switching to the EV on the Secondary side.
- Simultaneous Charging (Half Power)
Set your EV chargers or EVs to 20 amps or less (half power) to allow for simultaneous EV Charging. The Smart Splitter ensures both cars can charge at once without tripping the breaker.
