What does an industrial electrician do?

Why should I have an EV charger installed at home?

Regardless of what you currently drive, making the switch to an electric vehicle and having an EV charging point installed at home comes with many benefits, including…

Convenience

A home charging point will allow you to charge your car from the comfort of your own home. Installing a home EV charger will take the stress out of your journeys. Furthermore, while it takes 4 to 6 hours to fully charge an EV at a public station, home charging can be done overnight for complete ease of use.

Safety

Charging your EV from home is a much safer option than charging at a public point. As EV charging takes a few hours, you can limit the time that you and your vehicle spend in public spaces by installing an EV charger at home. This will reduce the likelihood of vandalism, theft and other public risks.

Cheaper than public stations

Using a home EV charging point can be significantly cheaper than using a public station. In addition, as you can choose when you charge and for how long, you can charge your car during cheaper off-peak hours. Electric vehicle charging at home is one of the most cost-effective ways to power your EV.

Charge from green energy

If you have solar or wind power systems installed at home, you can charge your EV using this completely free source of energy. Not only will this save you thousands on your electricity bills, but it also goes a long way in helping to save the environment. Additionally, you can choose a green energy tariff to provide power to your home and your EV.

Increase your property’s value

With thousands of EV owners in the UK, installing an EV charging point at your home is an attractive addition to homebuyers. Statistics show that having an EV charging point installed at home could add up to £12k to the value of your property. So whether you’re selling soon or are planning to in the future, a home EV charging point is a smart choice to make.
