Terminology

Standard (Slow) Charging

Information

Definition

Standard or slow charging describes lower-power charging, typically associated with domestic or long-dwell AC charging. It is normally assessed alongside charging mode, AC/DC architecture, power rating, connector type and how the charger shares or delivers power.

Why it matters

It is suitable where vehicles are parked for long periods and where electrical capacity is limited or carefully managed. For UK users, it affects charging speed, charger selection, vehicle compatibility and the way power is shared across outlets or vehicles.
