EV Chargers & Electric Car Chargers
EV chargers can drastically reduce the cost of charging an electric car at your home or business car park. Smart EV chargers allow you to schedule a charge when electricity is cheaper.
Once you install a charger, you’ll be able to charge off-peak during cheaper energy prices, or on demand. Moreover, charging at your property costs up to 5x less than charging at a rapid public charging station, so you’ll save money.
Why Should I Consider an EV Charger Over a Standard 3-Pin Plug Charger?
A home charging point can deliver faster charging times than a standard 3-pin plug, which can take over 24 hours to fully charge your EV. You do not have to run multiple cables through your home to install a wall charger. EVs can easily be plugged into the externally mounted charging point.
Over 200,000 electric car owners in the UK, so wall mounted electric car chargers can be an attractive addition for any potential home buyer. The average UK house’s value will increase by £11.7k if it has an EV-ready driveway. This premium is far greater than the cost of installing a home charging point, making home charging even more appealing.
What Other Benefits Will an EV Charger Bring?
The convenience of charging your EV at home or work is one of the best aspects of owning an electric vehicle. When you install an EV charger, you are able to control when and for how long your car can be charged. There’s no need to leave early for work in order to fuel up, or having to use Google Maps to find the closest petrol station. Your car can now be charged right outside your front door.
It is safer for you and your EV if you keep it at home. Public charging can take a long time and when charging your EV in a public place like a supermarket parking lot, your car is at risk of theft, vandalism, and even hailstorms. All these potential risks can be avoided by refueling your electric car at home.
