EV car charging in Colyton

Are you an electric vehicle owner in East Devon or West Dorset considering the most efficient and safe way to charge your car? 

While charging your EV on a standard 3-pin plug may seem like a convenient and inexpensive option, it's important to understand the limitations and potential risks associated with this method.

Using a dedicated EV charger offer faster charging times, more reliable and stable power delivery, and increased safety features such as built-in protection against overloading and overheating.

Charging your EV on a 3-pin plug can be slower, less efficient, and potentially dangerous. Charging time on a 3-pin plug can take up to 24 hours to fully charge your EV. Additionally, using a 3-pin plug can cause electrical issues such as overheating and overloading your existing electrical installation, which can pose a serious safety risk.
Dedicated EV chargers can charge your EV up to six times faster than a 3-pin plug. 

These chargers also come with features such as automatic shut-off and fault detection, which help prevent electrical hazards and protect your EV from damage.

Overall, a dedicated EV charger is the smart choice for any electric vehicle owner   it's a small investment that can make a big impact on your EV charging experience.

We install Zappi, Project EV, Rolec and BG EV charging points and in the photos is our very first EV install which we carried out about 7 years  ago in Seaton and our most recent install in Burton Bradstock.
