Why fit a charger

Charge faster, and for less

A three-pin socket can only draw up to 3kW, so a car with a 40kWh battery could take as long as 13 hours to charge. A dedicated charger is quicker, and every one we fit comes with a mobile app to schedule charging for off-peak hours, when energy suppliers charge less per kWh.

FAQs

New to EV charging?

How fast will I be able to charge my car?

Three-pin sockets can only draw up to 3kW of power, so it could take as long as 13 hours to fully charge a car with a 40kWh battery. The most common options are:

7kW charger: the standard for home EV chargers, fully charging a car with a 40kWh battery in around 5–6 hours.
22kW charger: a fast charger that needs a three-phase electricity supply. It may not be necessary for EVs with lower-capacity batteries, but could be worth considering for a high-performance or longer-range model.

Is it better to get a tethered or untethered charger?

Tethered chargers have a cable attached, so you won't need to find your cable every time you charge. But if you upgrade to an EV with a different connection type, you'll have to upgrade the charge unit as well.

Untethered chargers mean you can't just park up and plug in. They're more flexible, though: with a new connection type you just change the plug configuration rather than the whole unit.

How quickly can you install my charger?

As a rule of thumb we like to have chargers installed within 2 weeks, but we make every effort to fit in with your needs and be as flexible as possible with installation times.

How long will the installation take?

The majority of installations take either half a day or a day from start to finish.

Will there be a cable on show?

We know cables on show can be a little ugly, so every effort is made to keep the cable as discreet as possible. We'll discuss and agree the cable route at the quotation visit.
