Will installing a charger increase my electricity bill?
Charging your EV at home will increase your electricity usage, but it is often more cost-effective than using public chargers or petrol. You can also take advantage of off-peak electricity rates to save money.
Do you offer warranties on the installation and charger?
Yes, we provide a warranty of up to 5 years on both the installation and the charger, giving you peace of mind.
Can I charge my EV in bad weather?
Yes, modern EV chargers are designed to be weatherproof and can be safely used in rain or snow.
How do I know if my home’s electrical system can support an EV charger?
Our engineers will perform a survey to assess your electrical system. In some cases, upgrades may be required to ensure your system can safely handle the additional load.
How much does it cost to install an EV charger?
The cost depends on the type of charger and any additional electrical work needed. On average, prices range from £800 to £1,500, but grants can reduce this cost.
What types of EV chargers are available?
The most common options are:
- Fast Chargers (7-22kW) for home and public spaces.
- Rapid Chargers (43-50kW) for quicker charging, often found at service stations.
- Most home installations use 7kW chargers for a balance of speed and affordability.
Can I get a government grant for the installation?
Yes, you may be eligible for the OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) grant, which can reduce the cost of installation. Eligibility criteria apply.
What is included in a standard installation?
- A standard installation typically includes:
- Mounting the charger on an external or internal wall.
- Connection to your main electrical supply.
- Testing and certification of the system to ensure safety.
- A walkthrough of how to use the charger.
How long does the installation process take?
A standard installation usually takes around 2 to 4 hours. More complex setups, such as those requiring additional electrical work, may take longer.
Do I need permission to install an EV charger at home?
In most cases, you don’t need planning permission for a home EV charger. However, if you live in a listed building or a conservation area, you may need to check with your local council.
Benefits of Installing an EV Charger
Installing an EV charger at home offers convenience, cost savings, and greater control over your charging schedule. You can charge your vehicle overnight at off-peak electricity rates, saving money compared to public charging stations. It also eliminates the hassle of searching for available chargers, ensuring your car is always ready to go when you are. Additionally, a home charger can increase the value of your property and support a more sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle.
