Due to the increase in power through our EV chargers charging your car at home can take as little as 4-8 hours, compared to the up to 60 hour charge times of a standard plug socket.
Once the charger is installed it is literally a plug and charge process!
With electricity monitoring to prevent over loading causing your house to trip, many of our systems are also paired with an app for easy and efficient control.

Once the electric vehicle chargers are installed, the only cost left is for your electricity used to charge your vehicle, which will be entirely dependent on your mileage and electricity prices.
The average driver spends between £1000 and £1200 per year on fuel. Compare this with the average electric vehicle driver who will spend, on average, between £450 and £750 a year on electricity to charge their vehicle. It is important to note that to achieve this level of saving it is crucial to have a home charging system installed.
Another key cost comparison to observe is between the cost of public charging versus the cost of charging at home. On average, a public charging station will charge 30p per kW, compare this to the price of electricity at home being on average 14p per kW, you are saving over half just by charging at home!
With the increased popularity of electric vehicles and the eagerness to increase renewable energy in the UK, many energy companies have begun to offer reduced tariffs tailored to reduce costs for electric vehicle drivers.
The introduction of off-peak and on-peak tariffs allows to tremendous savings for those that charge their electric vehicle overnight, or during those off-peak hours.
The average on-peak price for electricity, including the price offered from regular tariffs, is around 14-20p per kW. The off-peak rates from many energy companies goes down to as little as 4p per kW!
This will result in an 86% (!!!) saving compared to charging at the average public charging station!
