My disability means that I have some specific requirements which have to be worked around.
Each month more electrical vehicles are accessing our roads which means the demand at charging stations is increasing. To save you time and money it is worth considering an at-home EV Charger installation. Think about what you could be doing with your time other than waiting at a charging point. DNA Father and Son’s Electrical in Kettering are your local, trusted and qualified electricians who can install EV chargers to your home, adding convenience to your day.
Why Should I Install an EV Charger to my Kettering Home?
Whilst the biggest benefit of owning an electric vehicle is lowering your carbon footprint, you are also at an advantage of other benefits which not all traditional car owners get.
Firstly, an at home charger allows you to charge you vehicle anytime you like. You will no longer need to take time out of your journey to fuel your car and can save an extra 5 minutes to your journey time. Without the need of waiting for your vehicle to charge at a charging station or going into petrol stations, you will also save money on expenses you didn’t set out to purchase such as that temping chocolate bar or bag of crisps.
Did you know public charging rates are also higher than at-home electricity charges? Charging your car at home can also be up to 50% cheaper than charging stations and even more if you benefit from lower off-peak rates.
Whilst you may currently be charging your electric vehicle with a 3-pin plug, it should not be your long-term option. This is not a safe way to charge your car and should be used for emergency situations.
Types of EV Chargers
There are multiple options for EV home chargers depending on your car and your budget. Not all EV chargers will fit every car. An experienced electrician can help you decide the most suitable EV charger for your car.
There are typically 2 charging power options. These are 7kW and 22kW. A 7kW charger will charge a car from 0-100% in about 8-10 hours. 22kW chargers are most commonly found in public charging places like supermarkets or service stations. These are much quicker than the 7kW chargers but also a more expensive installation. 22kW chargers are not suitable for all home types so will need to be discussed with an electrician before purchasing.
You will also need to decide whether you choose a tethered or untethered charger. A tethered charger is an attached cable whereas an untethered charger can be changed to suit your needs and put away to make your charger point look tidier.
