Yes, you can charge your electric car at home without a dedicated charging station by using a portable EV charging cable, such as the Voldt® Type 2 Granny charger. This type of cable plugs directly into a standard household socket (Schuko) and allows you to safely and reliably charge your electric vehicle. The typical charging capacity is up to 3.7 kW at 16A on 230V, which is suitable for overnight or daily top-up charging.
Using a mobile charger is particularly useful if you don’t have the option to install a fixed wallbox, such as in rental properties or temporary locations. Voldt® mobile chargers are designed with built-in safety features like temperature sensors, leakage current protection, and durable, weather-resistant materials. This ensures that even without a dedicated charging station, you're charging in a secure and compliant way.
However, it's important to note that charging via a household socket is generally slower than using a wallbox or public charging station. For example, a full charge on a 60 kWh battery could take over 16 hours. Still, for many drivers—especially those with shorter daily commutes—this is more than sufficient. If you need faster charging at home but still want flexibility, Voldt® also offers mobile charging cables for 3-phase power (up to 22 kW), provided your home installation supports it.
