EV Basics: Guide to Charging, Connectors, Efficiency

All of us at Wisely realise that moving into the world of electric vehicles can be quite daunting, especially for those who are used to driving internal combustion-engined cars.

That's why we made this guide. It includes a quick introduction to electricity, explaining how voltage and current interact to form electrical power, plus the difference between kW and kWh.

Next is the explanation of charging speed, comparison of the different plugs/connectors, and lastly, how to understand the electric energy consumption figures.
