Charging an electric car is far more accessible and convenient than you think

There are more and more charging stations in Bulgaria

Anyone who has bought an electric car knows its advantages. Cost-effectiveness, environmental credentials, a view to the future and many other benefits besides.

Many of you, though, will certainly have been sceptical about the availability and number of charging stations in Bulgaria. That myth has now been thoroughly dispelled.

More and more are being installed in front of homes, offices, retail sites and public places.

When you have a journey ahead of you, there are also apps that show you the location of every charging station in the various towns and cities.

Whether you are on the road or simply need to charge your car overnight, you will certainly find an EV charging station that meets your needs.

Your comfort comes first

Imagine your tank is nearly empty but you still have to fill it. You get home late and start charging your car with its factory Schuko plug.

Will it charge enough by tomorrow morning for that important meeting and the journeys you have after it? Or perhaps not? What would you do? Would you be late, or think about it tomorrow?

A smart, modern EV charging station offers the convenience of never worrying about running short of charge, which makes your travel time efficient.

Save time and money by charging your electric car properly

Charging properly is crucial to the longevity of your electric car's battery, and AC (alternating current) charging stations deliver exactly that.

Most new charging stations charge at up to 7.4 kWh single-phase and up to 22 kWh three-phase, whereas the maximum power a domestic socket provides is 2.3 kWh.

For example, a Volkswagen ID.4 (52 kWh battery capacity) takes around 36 hours for a full charge from a factory-fitted domestic socket (maximum capacity 2.3 kWh), while an intelligent charging station with a capacity of 7.4 kWh takes 12 hours, and 8 hours with three-phase 22 kWh power.

What is even more impressive is that this type of charging station can now be installed free of charge, even in front of your apartment building. The charging speed depends on the state of the car's battery and the actual charging power available.

Manage your car's charging at home or at work from your app.

Another great thing about this type of station is that they have apps letting you monitor charging times and charge only overnight, when electricity is cheaper. That way you genuinely save money by a method that is quite easy to put into practice.
