EV Charger Installation Colyton

We’re here to help you every step of the way, from helping you choose the right EV charger for your needs to making sure you know how it works before we leave.

Why have an EV charger installation

If you’ve just ordered a new EV car you’re likely wondering if you actually need an EV charger installation - or if you can just charge it at a dedicated charging station, much the same way you fill a petrol car up at a petrol station. 
Charging an electric vehicle is slightly more complicated and time-consuming than topping up with petrol. Charging up at a dedicated charging station can take around 30 to 60 minutes with a rapid charger, giving you roughly 100 miles of range. It's worth noting that not all charging stations are rapid ones – some are much slower and can take 2 – 3 hours to charge your car. This means you’ll need to hang around at the location for that time, which is not ideal if you have a busy lifestyle – unless you enjoy service station coffee of course! 

For most EV owners, an EV charger installation at their Colyton home makes EV ownership simpler and frees up their time for more interesting trips. With a home EV charger installed, you simply plug in your EV at the end of the day, and it will be waiting, fully charged for you in the morning.

Choosing an EV charger

Once you’ve decided a home EV charger installation Colyton is the route for you, you’ll need to choose a charger. There are many different makes, styles and charging options available on the market but don’t worry, we’ll talk you through them and help you decide which is best for you.

Some key choices to be made: 

• Tethered or untethered – A tethered charger has the charger cord attached to it permanently, which means you can’t mislay the cord, but it can look untidy. An untethered charger means the cord is kept with the vehicle. This looks tidier but does take up a little boot-space. An untethered charger can be used by more than one EV brand – handy if you have visitors who might need to charge up or are a multi-EV household.
• Charging Speed – The average home EV charger installed is a 7.4kW charger. This is capable of charging most EV’s in around 6-8 hours – perfect for overnight charging. Other options include 3.6kW and 22kW.
