Electric vehicles are becoming more common on Indian roads, but many people still hesitate to switch because of confusion around EV charging. From fears about high costs to worries about safety and speed, there are several myths floating around. Let’s break them down and uncover the truth with real-world clarity from GoLumo, a trusted EV charging solutions provider.

Myth 1: EV Charging at Home Is Too Complicated

Truth: Home EV charging is much simpler than people think.

With GoLumo, installing an electric car charger for home is a guided and professional process. From checking your home’s power capacity to installing the charger and setting up the app, everything is handled smoothly. Most homeowners can charge overnight and start every day with a full battery; just like charging a phone.

Myth 2: EV Home Charging Is Very Expensive

Truth: Home EV charging is often cheaper than public charging and fuel costs.

Many people assume the EV charger installation cost is very high. In reality, the cost depends on your power load, charger type, and site conditions. Over time, home EV charger installation helps save money because electricity is cheaper than petrol or diesel.

GoLumo also helps homeowners choose the right charger so they don’t overpay for unnecessary capacity.

Myth 3: Home Chargers Are Slow

Truth: Speed depends on the charger and power connection.

A basic electric car home charging station works well for daily use. If your home has enough power capacity, GoLumo can also install higher-speed chargers. In most cases, upgrading to a 10kW power connection allows you to enjoy stable 7.2kW charging perfect for overnight use. Faster options like 11kW or 22kW are possible when the load permits.

This makes EV homecharge both reliable and practical.

Myth 4: EV Charging Is Unsafe at Home

Truth: Professionally installed chargers are very safe.

Safety issues usually come from poor wiring or untrained installation. GoLumo uses certified technicians, proper safety checks, and tested equipment to ensure secure charging. Once installed, your charger works automatically and safely every day.

Myth 5: EV Charging Needs Constant Monitoring

Truth: Smart charging does the work for you.

With GoLumo’s smart app, users can track charging, monitor usage, and manage payments easily. You don’t need to stand near the charger or worry about overcharging; everything is automated.

The Real Takeaway

EV charging is not complicated, risky, or confusing. With the right partner, it’s simple, affordable, and reliable. Whether you’re planning your first home EV charger installation or upgrading your current setup, GoLumo makes the transition smooth and future-ready.

The truth is simple: EV charging isn’t a problem, misinformation is. And GoLumo is here to change that.
