What is Household socket?

The plug, the current, the car

A household socket is the ordinary wall outlet, the one a portable charging cable plugs into with an adapter. It is the slowest way to charge in the directory.

A 10-amp circuit puts about 2.4 kW into the car, which is an overnight charge rather than a stop between towns. The socket is usually at a motel, a car park or a business that lets guests plug in.

Check that the circuit is not sharing with a heater or a kettle, and use a cable rated for a continuous 10 A draw. The directory records the outlet the report gives, and the listed power is an upper bound.

What the label means

A household socket is AC charging at about 2.4 kW. It is not a public fast charger, even when a station lists one.

Where Household socket stations are

The states and territories with the most stations listing Household socket. Each link opens that state's page; the directory keeps the connector filter for a narrower view.

Cities with the most

The cities where these stations cluster. A link opens the city's own guide where one exists, otherwise the directory around that city.

Counts are stations that list Household socket, not plugs. One station can carry several connector types, so a station can appear here and in another connector's count. Prices are the networks' own per-kWh tariffs and can change by time of day. An outlet count is the site's, not a count of charging stalls, so this page quotes stations rather than stalls. Counts from the directory data of October 2026.
