At Blulinc, we understand that you just want to get in, charge, and hit the road with your electric vehicle worry-free. That's why we list here everything you need to know about how to charge your electric vehicle - whether you're at home, on the road, or need a quick recharge. From the familiar outlet to the impressive fast-charging station, we've got you covered. Because at Blulinc, you drive, we provide the power.

Charging Point At Home or On the Road: Mode 3 Charging Mode 3 charging is your go-to for everyday use. You'll find these charging points both along public roads and at your home, mounted on the wall or on a pole. With a power range from 3.7 kW to 22 kW (and up), these charging stations offer flexibility for every electric driver. Whether you have a fixed charging cable or use a universal outlet, charging your car is simple and efficient. With the right connector, Type 1 (Yazaki) or Type 2 (Mennekes), you'll be back on the road in no time.

Fast Charging Station: Mode 4 Charging In a hurry? Mode 4 fast charging offers the solution. With average consumption, you can charge enough for more than 100 km of driving in half an hour. These stations are equipped with fixed cables and various connectors, such as Chademo and CCS2, for that quick boost. Ideal for the first 80% of your battery; the rest takes a little longer to ensure the safety and longevity of your battery.

The Trusted Socket: Mode 2 Charging No charging station nearby? No problem. With a Mode 2 charging cable and the proper protections, such as an In-Cable Control Box (ICCB), simply charge your vehicle through a standard grounded outlet. Note that the installation and outlet must be in top condition for a safe charging experience. And while an industrial (CEE) outlet is also an option, note that these are not always suitable for homes due to safety concerns.

Charging Time: A Matter of Power and Capacity How quickly your car is back to full power depends on several factors: the capacity of your battery, the power of the charge point, and the efficiency of charging. In general, charging at a regular outlet takes longer than at a charge point or fast charger. But don't worry, at Blulinc we have charging solutions that fit your lifestyle and charging needs.

Safety First The use of extension cords or power strips is not recommended when charging your electric vehicle. For a safe and efficient charging experience, make sure your charging cable is fully deployed to prevent overheating.

At Blulinc, we're ready to support your electric adventure with expert advice, state-of-the-art charging solutions, and the best customer service. Whether you choose a charging station at home, on the road, or the convenience of a fast-charging station, we make sure you can charge effortlessly anytime, anywhere.
