EV charging
We’ll help you make the switch to electric.
Electric vehicles (or ‘EVs’ are quieter and cheaper to run than vehicles using petrol or diesel. Importantly, they also do not run on fossil fuels or expel polluting exhaust into the air – making them a win for the environment, too.
Setting up a reliable home charging system for your EV will ensure you get from A-to-B efficiently. We supply and install smart home EV chargers that suit your lifestyle (and power plan).
Benefits
• Faster charging
• Energy efficient
• Cost-saving
What’s the difference between chargers?
Different kinds of EV chargers offer different benefits. Standard wall chargers, or home charging stations, are permanently wired to your wall, which means they can run a higher voltage into your EV than a portable charger.
Portable 3-pin chargers are provided with your vehicle when you purchase it. While convenient for on-the-go use, if you’re charging up at home every day you may find them slow and inconvenient.
Smart wall chargers – the chargers we offer – have even more ‘smart’ features than a standard wall charger. For the quickest charge and flexibility with your lifestyle, these may be the best choice for your home.
Why choose a smart charging station?
A smart charger can dramatically reduce charging time and is up to 4x faster than a standard 3-pin charger. Wall chargers are perfect for high-use EV owners, who want a seamless experience with an always-charged vehicle.
Smart chargers also allow you to programme charging times to off-peak power hours, meaning you can save significant energy costs – even more with a dedicated EV power plan.
Smart charging is also more efficient than a 3-pin plug, which means you use less electricity to get the same level of charge (saving you money).
