EV Chargers
With the UK Government announcing its goal of becoming a net-zero emissions economy by 2050 we will all have a part to play. With this in mind, the Government has put in place a ban on the sale of cars and vans powered entirely by petrol and diesel by 2035.
This will mean that over the coming years many homeowners in the UK make the switch to either a fully electric or hybrid vehicle. An EV charger at home is essential to ensure that their vehicle remains charged and useable to allow homeowners to continue to go about their daily lives as normal.
There is a range of EV Chargers all with different features. The guide below will give you more information on what may be best and most suitable way for you to charge your electric vehicle.

Important Factors Related To EV Chargers
Electrical Capacity and Compatibility:
Ensure your homes electrical capacity can support an EV charger. An electrician will assess your electrical panel and determine if upgrades are needed. Additionally, choose a charger compatible with your vehicles requirements to guarantee optimal charging speed and efficiency.
Installation Location:
Select an appropriate location for the charger, considering factors like proximity to the electrical panel, available space, and ease of access. Outdoor installations may require weatherproofing, while indoor installations should prioritise convenience and safety. Adequate ventilation is crucial to dissipate any heat generated during charging.
Smart Features and Connectivity:
Opt for a charger with smart features and connectivity options. Smart chargers often allow remote monitoring, scheduling, and energy management through a mobile app. This ensures you can optimise charging times, take advantage of off-peak rates, and monitor energy consumption for a more cost-effective and efficient charging experience.
