Are you looking for a charging station but are the prices a bit disappointing? Or do you not have the possibility to have a charging station installed because you do not have space on your own property? Then there is a good chance that you have looked at the mobile charger and wondered whether this is not a good alternative. Because we regularly receive this question, we have put a detailed answer to the question on this page so that you immediately know what the possibilities are.
In some cases you simply cannot install a charging station
Do you live in a flat or a house without private land? Then it will be difficult to install your own charging station. If the VvE does not cooperate and you cannot find any other options, you can always contact the municipality. There you can submit a request for the installation of a public charging station. It is not yours and will have to be shared with others, but it is at least a charging solution in your area. Are there more people with an electric car in the area and is there no public charging station nearby? Then there is a good chance that the municipality will grant the request.
Do you have an available power point near your car, but are you unable to have a charging station installed? Then the mobile charger can be a good solution. Keep in mind that you cannot just use any extension cord if you cannot get from the power point to the car with the mobile charger. You need a high-quality, thick extension cord, and you always use a maximum of one extension cord. This is not only about limiting the risks, but also about reducing power loss.
The mobile charger: a number of advantages and disadvantages at a glance
Mobile chargers can be used anywhere there is a suitable power point, but they also have a number of disadvantages:
- The risk is greater than charging with a charging station , even if you choose the most expensive mobile chargers.
- Mobile chargers offer significantly fewer options than charging stations.
- The maximum charging speed of mobile chargers is lower than most charging stations.
- Load balancing and other useful features are often missing from mobile chargers.
- Mobile chargers cannot be used on just any socket and this is often forgotten.
Is the mobile charger an alternative to a charging station at home or at your business?
The mobile charger is not intended as a permanent charging solution for home or business. The charging station is always preferable when you can choose this. Not only because it offers higher charging speeds, but also because it can be charged more safely. The mobile charger is rightly called a holiday charger (granny charger) that can also be used for occasional home charging.
However, if you cannot or are not allowed to have a charging station installed, the mobile charger can be a great solution. In that case, make sure that you use a special, new socket as a connection and preferably place it on an empty group to promote charging. Also, choose a mobile charger with overheating protection and other features that promote safety during charging, such as the mobile chargers from Ratio or the mobile chargers from CTEK .
Why is the charging station the best choice?
Charging stations are designed and built to be used intensively on a daily basis. They are equipped with various features and safety measures and also ensure that you do not need long extension cords to reach the car with your charging cable. However, the reason why most people will always opt for a charging station is the significantly higher charging speed, which is particularly practical for daily use at home or at work.
