Can I plug my electric car in to a regular 13A wall socket?

Yes, you can plug an electric vehicle into a regular outlet/socket using a Mode 2 charger (find out more about Charging Modes here), but you will only be able to charge at the rate of up to 2.3kWh. This low rate of charging could take over 26 hours to fully charge from empty based on a typical 60kWh battery BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle).
