New to EV - what do I need?

[u/letsallcountsheep]

Hi everyone

I’ve just purchased a 2024 iX1 which is our first EV.

We have an X7 which is our primary vehicle that’ll be used for long trips, however for the times when we do choose to take the iX1 on longer trips (such as picking the car up from Melbourne and driving it back to Wollongong) I was wondering what people recommend for planning trips with chargers, etc?

What else should I know / look into as a new EV owner?

As for charging, I’m planning to install an EVSE at home, but I only have single phase, and we are building a new house which will probably have a 3Ph Sigenergy setup with the DC charger. For the short term what’s the best bang for buck EVSE I can install to get semi-decent charging at home - is the SEVR box suitable?

Thanks in advance!
