Yes, but it's very slow and not recommended for regular use — a 3-pin socket adds only 8–10 miles of range per hour and is a potential fire risk for long sessions.

Every EV comes with a "granny cable" — a charger that plugs into a standard 3-pin socket. At 2.3kW (10A), this adds about 8–10 miles of range per hour. Charging a typical EV from empty takes 20–30 hours. This is fine occasionally, but not for daily use. The main risk is that domestic sockets are not designed for sustained 10-hour charging sessions at maximum current. An older, worn socket can overheat. The plug and socket connection can arc. Sockets in garages and outbuildings may not be on circuits with RCD protection. Some manufacturers explicitly say their granny cable should only be used as a temporary measure. The safe, proper solution is a dedicated 7.4kW home charger installed by an OZEV-authorised electrician — it charges 3× faster and is designed for the sustained load.
