Electric vehicles use the electric grid for power, and an AC EV charger with a socket to outlet plug connection is used to recharge it. Home chargers are wired into the electricity network used by your home, allowing you full monitoring and control of when and how often to charge.
The AC car charger also acts as a way to tell the vehicle what maximum current it can draw each time you charge. It also regulates the charging according to the current possibilities of the home, so the network isn’t overloaded.
