Home EV charger installation

We recommend home charging stations to all of our electric vehicle clients, and this is down to the variety of benefits they bring. From convenience to savings, home charging can make maintaining your electric vehicle much more manageable.

Convenience

The ability to charge overnight and throughout the day when you’re home can be a game-changer. Your home EV charger eliminates the inconvenience of waiting at public charging stations while your vehicle charges.

Savings

Charging overnight is generally more cost-effective than relying on public EV charging stations. Home electricity costs are often lower, especially when charging in off-peak hours.

Smart features

Smart chargers allow you to monitor and control your EV charging process remotely via a smartphone app, such as scheduling your charging. They also allow you to access real-time data and reports about your energy consumption and habits and give you tips to optimise your routine to increase savings.
