EV Charging
How does it work?
As part of our services we install Electric Vehicle charging units, which compliment the installation of Solar panels and batteries where installed, not only does this reduce the cost of charging your electrical vehicle, but give energy resilience and opportunities for low tariff charging.

Unlike traditional petrol and diesel vehicles, EVs can be charged at home, work, public charging stations, and even while parked. This flexibility makes EV ownership convenient and accessible.
Smart charging, which allows charging during off-peak hours, can lead to lower electricity bills. Additionally, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology can contribute energy back to the grid, further improving efficiency and potentially saving money.
Rapid and ultra-rapid chargers can add significant range in a short amount of time, making long-distance travel more feasible. Some rapid chargers can add up to 200 miles of range in about 15 minutes.
Smart charging and V2G technologies can help balance the electrical grid by shifting demand and potentially allowing EVs to act as energy storage, according to Equans UK.
While not as ubiquitous as petrol stations, the number of public charging stations is rapidly increasing, improving access for EV owners.
Wireless charging technology is being developed, promising even greater convenience and potentially revolutionizing EV charging.
Workplace Charging Schemes and other grants can help offset the cost of EV charging infrastructure.
