Single-phase vs three-phase EV charging: what homeowners actually need

Three-phase sounds ‘better’, but for most homes it’s not automatically the right choice. What matters is your daily driving, your available supply, and how you want charging to fit into your routine.

Single-phase charging (common + practical)

• Great for overnight charging
• Lower installation complexity in many switchboards
• Often the best value for residential installs

Three-phase charging (useful, but not always necessary)

• Faster charging if your vehicle and charger support it
• Can make sense for high km drivers or multi-EV households
• May require more switchboard work and space

How we recommend the right setup

We look at your switchboard capacity, your vehicle, where the charger will go, and what you actually need week-to-week. If single-phase covers you, we’ll tell you.
