Electric Vehicle Charging

What is an EV Charger?

A device designed to charge electric and hybrid vehicles.

An EV charger, also known as an EV charging station or EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment), is a device designed to charge electric and hybrid vehicles

Just like a petrol station fuels traditional cars, EV chargers supply electricity to power your electric vehicle’s battery, ensuring it stays on the move.
Across the UK, there are thousands of public EV charging stations, accessible via apps, RFID cards, or contactless bank cards. However, the most convenient and cost-effective way to charge your electric vehicle is by installing a home EV charging point. Home charging offers faster charging speeds, better safety features, and the convenience of topping up your battery overnight just like charging your smartphone

EV Charger Install.

Having recently used JEL Renewables for my Solar and Battery install, I didn’t hesitate to call on their services again to supply and fit my EV charger.
After a survey at my home Ewen advised me to install the Zappi car charger that has all the smart functions to start and stop the charging remotely but it also works with my Solar System to charge my car for free, reducing my energy bills. 👏🏻👏🏻

Benefits of Home EV Charging

How you can make a difference.

1. Convenience at Your Fingertips

With a home EV charger, you can charge your vehicle whenever it suits you, avoiding the hassle of finding an available public charging station.

2. Cost Savings Over Time

Although there’s an upfront cost to install a home charging point, long-term savings make it worthwhile. Charging at home can cost as little as £3 for a full charge, depending on your electricity tariff, making it significantly cheaper than public charging.

3. Faster Charging Speeds

A 7kW home charger can fully charge an EV in 5–10 hours, compared to trickle chargers, which can take over 12 hours. While public rapid chargers are faster, they are also more expensive.

4. Government Grants to Reduce Costs

Eligible EV owners can apply for the OZEV grant, which offers £350 off the cost of a home charger installation, making home charging even more affordable.

5. Increased Property Value

As EV adoption grows, having a home EV charger is becoming a desirable property feature, making your home more attractive to buyers.

6. A Greener Choice

Charging your EV at home helps reduce carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future by using cleaner, renewable energy sources.

Quick and efficient installation.

It’s been easy and quick from the beginning. We’ve had a bad experience with another company but JEL have done an excellent job installing our solar panels and battery. Both Alex and HJ have been super helpful in advising us and making sure everything runs smoothly. Every single worker did a very clean and professional job and they were incredibly friendly.
