Too Afraid to Ask

A 'Granny charger' is a simple charger you can plug into a regular wall outlet to charge an electric car. It's not very fast, so it’s best for charging overnight when you don’t need to use the car.

Technical Definition

A 'Granny charger' is a colloquial term for a standard household charger used for electric vehicles (EVs). It typically has a lower power output, making it suitable for overnight charging but not ideal for faster charging needs.
