More and more people are making the switch to electric vehicles and with that comes the need to charge at home. If you’re new to the EV world or just weighing up your options, here’s a simple breakdown of what’s involved in getting a charger installed at home and how we at Ellis Roche Electrical can help.
Choose the Right Charger for You
There are loads of EV chargers out there, like basic plug-in models to smart chargers that can be controlled from your phone. Some charge quicker, some let you schedule charging during off-peak hours to save money, and others even work alongside solar panels and battery storage if you’ve already gone green.
If you’re not sure where to start, we’re here to chat through your needs, budget and setup to help you choose the best option.
Check Your Homes Setup
We’ll take a look at your current electrical system to make sure it’s ready to support a charger. Most homes are fine, but sometimes we may need to upgrade your consumer unit or add a new circuit. We’ll explain everything clearly, so you know exactly what’s going on.
The Installation Day
On the day of install, we’ll get everything fitted and tested properly. We’ll also show you how to use your charger (especially if it’s a smart one) and answer any questions you’ve got. Most installs are sorted in a few hours, and we always leave the place tidy.
Grant Options
Depending on your situation, you might be eligible for help from the government’s OZEV grant scheme. If that’s the case, we’ll walk you through what you need to apply.
