EV Charger Installation is crucial as electric vehicles is now increasingly popular in Indonesia. One of the important needs is having a home charging facility at home, such as a wall charger. If you plan to install an EV charger at home, here are some things you need to know:
Types of Wall Chargers and Their Costs
For household purposes, a 7 kW wall charger is a common choice. This wall charger is suitable for personal use because it is compact and easy to install in the garage.
The price of a 7 kW wall charger, such as that offered by PT Powerindo Prima Perkasa, is around IDR 17 million. However, this cost does not include installation and certification from PLN which are mandatory. This charger uses an AC Type 2 socket, compatible with various brands of electric vehicles.
Ease of EV Charger Installation by PLN
If you buy a new electric vehicle, you may not need to worry about installing a wall charger. PLN works with electric vehicle dealers (ATPM) to provide free home EV Charger Installation services. PLN officers will immediately install the charger at your home after purchasing the vehicle.
Home Electricity Power Adjustment
For home charging to function optimally, PLN recommends a minimum home electricity power of 7,700 Volt Ampere (VA). If your electricity power is not sufficient, PLN offers a Super Everyday promo for new connections at special prices:
1 Phase, final power 7,700 VA: IDR 850 thousand (from the normal price of IDR 7.49 million).
3 Phase, final power 13,200 VA: IDR 3.5 million (from the normal price of IDR 14.6 million).
Advantages of Home Charging
Home charging provides many conveniences, especially for electric vehicle users for daily mobility. Like charging a cellphone, you can charge an electric car at night at home, while SPKLU is more suitable for long-distance travel.
In addition, PLN provides a 30% electricity tariff discount for charging at home from 22.00 – 05.00 WIB, so it is more economical.
Latest Technology for Home Charging
Home charging services are also equipped with Electric Vehicle Digital Services (EVDS) from PLN. Through this application, you can set the charging time and monitor the history of your vehicle’s electricity usage.
With increasingly supportive infrastructure, having an EV charger at home is now easier and more affordable. Make sure you consult with PLN or an electric vehicle dealer to determine the appropriate electricity needs and installation. Investing in electric vehicles and charging facilities is not only environmentally friendly but also convenient for your daily needs!
