Why choose a wall charger like Prism if I already have the charger that comes with the electric car?

What is the point of Prism if my machine is already complete with the supplied charger?

When buying electric cars, almost all of them are already equipped with a device to perform charging, so why would you buy Prism – a wall charger? Let’s delve into product features and the best choice for you to make.

• The standard “charger” power supply.
• The major differences of the two devices
• Why is it an advantage for you to be endowed with both?

The standard “Charger” power supply with the electric car.

The device is supplied with most electric cars on the market today. It is a simple device, at the ends of which are a type 2 connector and a traditional electrical plug (almost always a Schuko type) to plug into an outlet. Commonly it is also used to call it a “charger,” borrowing somewhat from the jargon with which we refer to the cell phone charger, and this is probably the most correct correspondence with the type of product we are describing: a simple power supply.

The major differences between the two devices

It is intuitable that the big differences come in performance. Of course, the power supply alone cannot offer you any of the potential of Prism. Of course, we are talking about an investment against a product that almost always comes with it, but we are sure that as you broaden your view to what you can gain with the help of a charging device like Prism, you will agree that the best choice is to have both.

Though with their differences both columns, Prism Basic or Prism Solar, have a significantly more appreciable performance capability when compared to the charger. The standard charger may be a convenient solution in the first few days-weeks when you have brought home your car, perhaps your first electric, but why give up the potential and convenience of use that only Prism can provide?

Any practical examples? Read on.

Counter never overloaded

That’s right. Thanks to Prism, the meter will no longer jump, and you will also be able to use other appliances carefree while your car is charging. Credit to the balancing of loads, which is possible thanks to the presence of the sensor. This feature is one of the most useful uniqueness of Prism and is one of the key reasons why you should not do without a wall-mounted charging station.

Shorter charging times

The second reason lies in the time it takes to recharge the car. Certainly having the charger with you is advisable; you may always need a small refill in case of emergency. The charging you do with Prism, however, is much faster! By installing Prism at home you can ideally get to the garage at the drop of a hat and recharge your car completely in a short time.

Multiple modes for recharging, including Night Mode

With Prism Solar you can use up to 3 types of charging: Solar, Normal and Night. This allows Prism to win on the savings front as well! Specifically, Solar mode works synergistically with your photovoltaic system and allows you to use the excess energy produced by the system to recharge your car–for free! Night mode, on the other hand, allows you to set up recharging by taking from the grid when energy costs less, however, at night.

Homer: much more than just a charger

None of the features above are available with the classic “charger” given with all, or nearly all, electric cars. But with Homer you can have all these features, at a super low price.

Homer from Silla Industries was created for those who cannot install a fixed charging station or for those who do not want to give up smart electric charging when they are away from home, out of the daily routine.

Small, handy and universal, Homer fits into any electric car with a Type 2 connector, the gold standard in Europe. Operation is immediate: all you need is a Schuko socket and charging starts in seconds, without any special installation or equipment. Through the Silla app, you can keep track of every session: from consumption to duration to scheduling via timer. If you are the owner of the supply contract (as in the case of a second home) the app also allows you to monitor the consumption of the entire utility, intelligently balance loads between the car and appliances, and, for those with a photovoltaic system, limit charging to only the hours when the system is in production.

Keeping it in the trunk is a form of freedom: whatever unforeseen events happen along the way, you already know there is a solution. And it’s not just about convenience; Homer is equipped with a temperature sensor built into the Schuko plug, which automatically stops charging if it detects anything abnormal, securing both the car and the system to which it is connected.

It is the solution designed for vacations away from the serviced circuits, stays in rented houses, farmhouses, or any destination where public charging points are scarce or difficult to reach. With Homer, the problem of charging away from home simply no longer exists.

Why is it an advantage for you to be endowed with both?

Prism or Homer? Prism is a wall charger with the possibility of high charging power, and if you want a portable solution, with all the features of the Prism range and most importantly never blowing out power, there is Homer.
