These are just some of the many benefits of EV Chargers, Like anything that involves your home electricity supply, an electric car home charger can be a tough installation process.
The cost of an EV charging port In Abingdon can vary between £899-£1399 this is the price including installation, however many other things factor into this price such as:
Installing a home charger for electric cars is a lot more complex than it might first seem. Not only are the electric connections a huge concern, but there can be a lot of health risks, from shock hazards to trip hazards.
Understanding the installation process for home chargers is important, even if you are not doing it yourself. EV charging point installation can be a very complex field, and there can be a lot of nasty surprises – especially with high-demand vehicles that require a lot of power.
A home charging station moves a high amount of electricity from your property to your electric car, and that charge point has limits. A poorly-connected EV charging unit can burst into flame or cause electric shocks and might even damage itself if used incorrectly.
There is also the fact that a lot of these units are cable-focused, using thicker and thicker cables to help protect the internal wiring. These can present a surprisingly major trip hazard, so proper installation also focuses on putting the system in the right place.
Our expert staff are able to install a car charger without putting you at risk of any major safety concerns. Whether it is a private home installation or public charging station, we know how to handle the wiring correctly and safely.
Proper compliance with key regulations and restrictions is important when using an EV charging unit. Electrical connections have to be inspected for safety concerns, and energy usage has to be properly verified to make sure that your charge point is not being used incorrectly.
A car charger needs to be safe after installation, but it also needs to follow any related certificates and reconnoitres to the letter. We can help you set up your new car charger so that it does not violate any important rules and that it remains functional for a long, long time.
The qualifications involved in the work that we do are very hard to earn, and most of our staff have had plenty of experience with multiple types of electrical systems.
An electric car and EV charging unit needs to be installed properly, safely, consistently, and without missing any steps.
All of our staff are well-trained and know exactly how to handle an EV charging station, even if the designs may differ between companies.
They can help get the maximum amount of efficiency and reliability out of any model purely through the installation alone.
To properly charge electric vehicles, a charging point has to be used. While an EVSE cable and a 3 pin plug socket can work as a backup option, the electric car charging cable and unit needs to be your primary choice. Only use the 3 pin plug method as a last resort.
If installed indoors or in a sheltered area, then the charging points need proper protection and safety measures put in place. Outdoor units need to be weatherproofed and waterproofed, even in dry climates.
Some chargers may be designed for specific purposes, such as Pod Point chargers using smart features and the Pod Point app. In instances like this, the Pot Point features may not be removable, meaning that you might need the Pod Point app for full functionality.
Smart charging features can make a unit cost more initially but also reduces the amount that the charging process costs overall. These features are often best used when trying to reduce how much you are paying, and they also put less pressure on the power grid as a whole.
A charger uses a variable amount of power depending on the car, but most will draw around 7,200 watts at most. This is higher than many smaller devices but lower than appliances like an electricity-powered furnace or certain kinds of heater.
The more power a charger consumes, the faster the vehicle charges – in theory. However, a good charger will use power more efficiently, which can make it the superior option for charging a car up and keeping power costs low.
An EV charging system might sound like it takes a while to install, but this is not actually the case. Most chargers can be installed in a single-phase session over the course of about two hours, more if there are other wiring projects that have to be completed first.
There is always the threat of delays impacting the installation date, but we will always inform our clients if something has gone wrong. This might include us asking for key details about your situation and schedule to know when the easiest, cheapest time to visit would be.
While you can technically charge your car through the 3 pin plug, as mentioned earlier, it is not nearly as safe or reliable as a real charger. It may not even allow your vehicle to fully charge correctly and always runs the risk of safety issues or charging failures.
Instead, use a dedicated home charge point. Whether you use a tethered charger or not, it is a much safer and more reliable option.
While technically you could install an electric vehicle charging unit by yourself, it can always backfire quite badly. Electric vehicles need a safe charger to ensure correct use, and EV drivers installing their own electricity supply meter for their electric vehicles could mean they damage something by accident.
A charger needs to be installed in a suitable permanent structure. Installing one on any random brick or plaster wall might cause major problems – it has to be a surface that falls under the right conditions to host a charger.
Finding the right wall involves a lot of careful measurements and inspections, something that we can easily do for all our clients.
There is not a single ideal charger for every car or van and every situation, meaning that the one you choose depends on the specs. Some people prefer one that can fully charge their car in a short period of time, while others want to minimise the energy usage that charging their car has.
If you want smart features, then a smart charger is ideal, but not everybody actually wants those options. Choose something that offers the specifications, features and benefits that you will actually use – for example, Wi-Fi features.
EV charging is focused heavily on the car, but the charging unit is just as important. Having the right charger for something like a Nissan Leaf can be vital to using your Nissan Leaf correctly.
There is not always a handy guide to finding the perfect charger right away, so proper research is important.
Whether you are getting a charger for your home, for work or for some rental accommodation that you are renting out to others, you want the right tool for the job. Never rush through a purchase unless you know that what you are getting will work correctly.
