Professional EV Charging Point Installation
What are EV Charging Points?
An electric vehicle charging station , also called EV Charging points, is a renewable technology that supplies electric energy for the recharging of electric vehicles. Rather than filling your car up with gallons of gas, you simply plug your car into its charging station to fuel up. This way allows you to save on costs and fight against the use of fossil fuels.
From the environmental benefits to the reduced fuel, tax and maintenance costs, there's no wonder plug-in electric vehicles are becoming more mainstream. With more drivers choosing to go electric, the need for easy charging stations has risen. Ecolution Group offers reliable EV charging point installation to ensure fast and convenient charging from the comfort of your home.
Hiring an experienced and certified installer guarantees the safety and performance of your charging station. Professional installation ensures compliance with national safety regulations and avoids the risks of fire or electric shock. Some manufacturers also require professional installation as part of their warranty regulations.
Why install EV Charging Points?
EV charging points are renewable technologies that are compact and easy to install and maintain. They can also be used at no costs when powered through a solar PV system.
Convenience – With an EV charging point installed in your home, you can plug in your vehicle at any time of the day. You can also recharge them at night from the convenience of your driveway or garage.
Cost savings – Most public charging stations installed at local businesses charge by the hour. With a new home charging station, you can save thousands on utilities.
The price of home charging will depend on various factors such as the car’s model and your electricity tariff. In most cases, a full home charge may cost as low as £3 compared to the hourly rate of public charging which can cost between £1-1.5. Rapid charging can also cost as high as £7.50 an hour. With a home EV charging unit, you only have to pay for your normal electricity bills instead of the costly hourly rate.
EV owners on Economy 7 or a time of use tariff could enjoy greater cost savings by powering their vehicle with cheaper off-peak electricity.
Faster charging time – In most cases, a charging unit installed by professionals offers a faster charging time than the car’s original charging cable. By fully charging your car at night, there’s less risk of a dead battery car powering down during your commute or workday.
