This involves buying a home charger unit, readily available at many chain hardware stores like Home Depot, and having it professionally installed. Jaguar recommends the ChargePoint Home Flex home charger, due to its speed and compatibility with Jaguar products. Jaguar also works with Qmerit to help you with the installation process and planning of your home setup.
