Smarter EV Charging – Why Now’s the Time to Act

As the UK shifts towards electric vehicles, the ability to charge at home or work is quickly becoming essential. Whether you’re a homeowner looking for day-to-day convenience or a business exploring ways to support staff and reduce fleet costs, installing a dedicated EV charger is a forward-thinking step. It’s not just about keeping your vehicle topped up, it’s about future-proofing how you use and manage energy.

Why Install an EV Charger?

Charging from a standard 3-pin socket might work in emergencies, but it’s slow and inefficient — often taking more than 24 hours to fully charge a typical electric vehicle. A properly installed 7kW or 22kW charger can cut that time down to just a few hours, whether at home or on commercial premises.

Key benefits for both homes and businesses:

• Faster charging during off-peak hours or workdays
• Lower running costs with smart tariffs
• More control over energy use
• Added value to your property or premises
• Enhanced sustainability credentials (especially for business fleets)

Solar + EV Charging = Bigger Savings

If you already have solar panels or are considering them, there’s even more to gain. Charging your vehicle using self-generated electricity not only cuts your reliance on the grid, it reduces costs and carbon emissions too.

With the addition of a battery storage system, businesses and households can store excess solar energy and use it to charge overnight. This creates a more efficient, resilient energy setup for both commercial and domestic use.
