Why a Home EV Charger is a Smart Investment
- Faster Charging: Home charging points (typically 7kW) can fully charge an EV in just a few hours, a significant improvement over the slow, inefficient charging of a standard domestic socket.
- Convenience: Charge your car overnight while you sleep, ensuring you wake up to a full battery every morning.
- Smart Features: We install smart chargers that allow you to schedule charging, track energy usage, and take advantage of cheaper off-peak electricity tariffs, saving you money on your bills.
- Safety: A dedicated home charging point is installed on its own circuit with dedicated safety protection (RCDs), significantly reducing the risk of fire and electrical faults compared to using an extension lead.
