Charging Your BYD At Home Safely

Charging an EV at home is convenient, but you should set up the electrical system and equipment properly to keep it safe for the long run.

1. Check your home's power supply. Assess your meter size, install location, and wiring before installing a charger.

2. Use a certified charger. Choose a wallbox or equipment properly rated for EV charging to the right standard.

3. Have it installed by a professional. Have a qualified electrician install the wiring, breaker, and protective devices correctly.

4. Avoid extension cords. Don't use extension cords or temporary setups for regular charging.

5. Check before and after charging. Check that the connector, cable, and installation area stay dry and safe at all times.

Recommendation: always pair the setup with a properly rated circuit breaker and a residual current device (RCD).

In summary, charging at home the right way keeps the car, the electrical system, and everyone using it safer. This is general guidance — have a qualified electrician verify the actual installation on site.
