Single-phase or 3-phase power?
To pick the best charger for your EV, you need to know what phase power your home runs on. Basic chargers only require single-phase power, while faster chargers (11kW on up) require 3-phase.
An easy way to tell is to check your home’s switchboard, or fusebox. Find the main switch (also called the ‘normal supply main switch’) and count the number of switches beneath it. If there are 3 switches, you’re running 3-phase power. A single switch means you’re on single-phase.
