Frequently Asked Questions
Can I charge my EV from solar panels?
Yes. With a solar-compatible smart charger, excess solar generation automatically diverts to your EV. Combined with battery storage, you can charge your car almost entirely from solar energy during summer months.
How long does it take to charge an EV at home?
A 7kW home charger adds approximately 30 miles of range per hour. Most EVs charge from 20% to 80% overnight (8 hours), which is more than enough for daily driving. A typical commute of 30 miles needs just 1 hour of charging.
Do I need to upgrade my electricity supply?
Most homes can support a 7kW charger on their existing supply. We check your supply capacity during the site assessment and advise if any upgrades are needed before installation.
What is the OZEV grant for EV chargers?
The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) provides grants of up to £350 per socket for landlords and up to £14,000 per workplace site. Residential homeowners are no longer eligible for the OZEV grant, but the cost of a home charger (£800-£1,200 installed) remains highly competitive compared to public charging costs.
Can I install an EV charger at my workplace?
Yes. We install workplace EV charging solutions from single 7kW units to multi-point 22kW systems. Businesses can claim the Workplace Charging Scheme grant (up to £350 per socket, maximum 40 sockets) and deduct the cost through Annual Investment Allowance. Many East Anglia businesses are adding EV chargers for staff and visitors.
