Using EV charging is essential for several reasons. It promotes environmental sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, electric vehicles often have lower operating costs compared to traditional cars, saving you money on fuel and maintenance. Finally, as the infrastructure for EV charging continues to grow, it offers convenience and accessibility for electric vehicle owners, making it easier to charge on the go.
All electric vehicles have a rechargeable battery that powers an electric motor. The battery is charged by plugging it into the mains electricity. All that’s needed to do this is a charge point to the vehicle.
There are three places you can charge an electric car: at home, at work, or at a public charging point.
Electric car charging at home offers the greatest benefits. It’s more convenient because the vehicle can be plugged in overnight and have a recharged battery the following day. EV home chargers are also weatherproof and have multiple built-in safety features.
The cheapest and most convenient way for EV owners to recharge their vehicles is by having an EV charge point at home.
EV home charger installation can be a complex job involving setting up a dedicated electrical circuit running from the home's consumer unit to the EV charge point. We have all the necessary experience, qualifications and knowledge to undertake these.
The difference between a tethered and untethered charge point is simple. A tethered charge point has a cable permanently attached to the charger, while an untethered charge point doesn’t.
