The Home Series charger is available in two configurations: Integrated Charger Socket (Untethered) and Integrated Cable (Tethered), allowing users to choose the option that best suits their charging needs and installation preferences.
Benefits of an Integrated Socket
(Untethered charger)
A simple and tidy design means there’s no fixed cable, keeping the installation neat and unobtrusive. You can use the charging cable that came with your car or swap it if needed, making it compatible with different electric vehicles. This charger is also built for the future. If charging standards change or the cable wears out, you can replace the cable instead of fixing the whole charger. Additional during cold winter months, the cable can be removed and stored in a clean, dry place, keeping it in good condition for longer. The cable can be locked into the charger via the simpson & Partners app when charging, for added security. The integrated socket is our most popular charger.
Benefits of an Integrated Cable
(tethered charger)
A tethered charger has a built-in charging cable, which makes it quick and easy to use. There is no need to find or connect a separate cable. Since the cable is attached permanently, it won’t get lost, and there’s no extra clutter in your car.However, there are some downsides. The cable is fixed at a set length which might not be long enough in some parking situations. Over time, charging standards may change, and because the cable is built-in, replacing it may be more difficult. Also, the cable is always visible, which may not suit everyone’s preference for a tidy look.
