How Can I Charge My Electric Car at Home?
You can charge your electric car at home either with an emergency cable, a simple wallbox or a smart wallbox.
Charging from a regular socket
You can charge your electric car from a regular 230 V socket using an emergency cable or the mobile go-e Charger Gemini flex with a suitable go-e adapter.
In any case, this type of charging should be an exception. Charging from a household socket can take up to 24 hours or even more and is therefore impractical for everyday use.
In addition, charging from a regular socket with too much power can be dangerous. This issue is resolved with our mobile go-e Charger Gemini flex and our household adapter, which defaults to a safe 6 A charging power. Can be customised via the app within the limits set by your country's regulations.
Charging with a wallbox
Charging with a wallbox is faster, safer and more convenient. But which one should you choose?
Simple wallbox
A simple wallbox is used for safe and quick charging. However, it does not usually offer any smart features that make charging more affordable and sustainable.
Smart wallbox
With a smart wallbox, you have full control over charging and can set your charging time and power based on off-peak hours, solar power, or lower energy rates.
Smart charging with the go-e Charger
Charge control in your pocket
You can start and stop charging, change between different modes, adjust the charging currents with the go-e app or get push notifications about the charging status. Charging with the go-e Charger without the app is possible, too.
Reduce your electricity bill by charging with extra sunshine
Your solar panels keep producing more energy than you need? Channel the surplus into your car battery to reduce charging costs. This efficient solution is available for instance, with our go-e Charger + go-e Controller combo.
Energy-timing magic
Your energy supplier offers dynamic energy tariffs? Activate ECO Mode or Next Trip Mode in the go-e app to charge your car automatically when electricity rates are lowest. Save money and help reduce strain on the local energy grid.
Open interfaces for more freedom and flexibility
You can also control the go-e Charger locally via HTTP API or via the cloud API, as well as OCPP and Modbus TCP. It offers various interfaces for individual control, allowing integration of go-e wallboxes into software and hardware applications for efficient data exchange in a smart home. Set up custom solutions, such as PV surplus charging, easily.

Top Features of the go-e Charger
Off-peak charging as a money-saving strategy
Top Features
The go-e app comes with a scheduler. Use it and take advantage of favourable night-time energy tariffs. Since electricity rates for these tariffs drop during the night hours, set your go-e Charger to charge during these off-peak hours and pay less. Save money and reduce grid strain during peak times of high load.
Always charge with a safe amount of power
When most of your home appliances are off, like your washing machine or AC, you have more power available for charging compared to when they are on. In any case, exceeding your available power can lead to a potential outage. With the go-e Charger and go-e Controller working in tandem, the load is always balanced, ensuring you never go beyond safe power limits when charging. Static load balancing between several charging stations also works without a Controller.
Set any kWh limit you want to avoid paying extra
The "kWh Limit" feature in the go-e app gives you control over how many kilowatt hours to charge. This is perfect if you have the option of charging your battery further using regenerative braking. Setting the kWh limit helps you avoid unnecessary costs and better manage your energy usage.
Plug & Play
Installing the mobile go-e Charger Gemini flex and Gemini flex 2.0 is incredibly simple. Just plug the wallbox cable into a red CEE socket, connect it to your car, and the charging starts immediately. It couldn't be more convenient than that!
RFID authorisation
Access to your wallbox can be optionally restricted to users with a registered RFID chip or card. The go-e Charger comes with one pre-authorised chip for your wallbox. You can register up to 10 chips per wallbox, allowing you to share access with others. Additionally, the go-e app allows you to monitor when and how much energy each person charges.
DC protection
We have integrated the Direct Current (DC) protection module with DC detection and additional AC detection (6 mA DC, 20 mA AC) into the go-e Charger to keep you safe. On the building side, an RCD type A must be installed and a miniature circuit breaker must be installed upstream. The module constantly monitors the current flows, protecting the electrics in your home. If a fault occurs, the DC protection module will shut down power in order to keep you away from any dangers.
Smart Charging with go-e App
EVEN SMARTER CHARGING
* The app can also be used through the access point built into the charger. However, without WiFi or LTE, only local control is possible, and some features like flexible electricity tariffs and load balancing will not be available.

EV Home Charging With PV Surplus
Surplus photovoltaic charging is all about minimising your charging costs and shortening the payback period of the PV system. Why send excess power back to the grid for low returns when you can use the excess energy from your solar panels to charge your car instead. The go-e Charger connected to an EMS such as our go-e Controller detects how much of it is available during the day and feeds it into your car battery.
Automatic switching between single-phase and three-phase is also possible to charge even when there is little solar energy. You can also combine PV surplus charging with favorable dynamic electricity tariffs to achieve your desired energy amount.

The go-e Charger Gemini flex is easy to install and often doesn't require professional help. If you have a red CEE socket at home and your electrical system can handle the charging load, simply plug it in and start charging.
Stationary wallbox
The wallbox is designed to be wired into your home electrical system. Therefore, installation must be done by a professional. You can also find a qualified electrical expert through our growing network of partners.
Which Charging Power Do I Need?
11 kW wallbox
You can only charge the battery of your car at the maximum rate the car can accept. If your EV’s charging power is 11 kW or lower, the go-e Charger 11 kW is a suitable choice. Additionally, if the electrical system in the building cannot support high charging currents and upgrading it would be costly, the 11 kW version of the go-e Charger is the best option.
22 kW wallbox
If the charging power of your electric car exceeds 11 kW, opt for the go-e Charger 22 kW to benefit from faster charging. For vehicles that charge using single-phase power but require more than 16 amps, a 22 kW wallbox is recommended as well. In any case, we suggest you find out about possible national restrictions for single-phase charging.
