The pros of a tethered EV charger definitely outweigh the cons. For starters, the cable is fixed to your charger so you’ll never lose it. It cannot be lost or stolen, and it doesn't need to be set up and plugged in. A tethered car charger can easily be put back in its rightful place after use and doesn’t need any additional storage space than is already provided.
Professional installation is recommended for tethered EV chargers. The process generally includes:
A tethered EV charger consists of a chargepoint placed on a wall with a built-in, or fixed, cable attached to the charging unit. The cable cannot be removed from the device. Tethered chargers are the most common type of home EV charger and most electric car owners will have one.
Above all else, a tethered charger offers convenience. You don't need to worry about carrying around a separate charging cable or storing it when not in use. Set up is virtually non-existent as the cable is always connected and ready to go. These cables are also far less likely to be stolen, as not only are they connected to the charging port, but they cannot be taken off and used without destroying them.
It's important to remember that tethered chargers are designed for specific car makes and models, which means they may not be suitable for all EVs. Although Type 2 is the standard for current EVs, some older models still use Type 1 chargers and will not be compatible with a tethered Type 2 charger.
Installation will vary depending on whether it is a single phase or three phase EV charger and should always be carried out by a licenced electrician.
5m and 7m are the standard options, but you can find tethered chargers that range from anywhere between 2-10m.
