Ev Charging Speeds
As experts in EV charging, we provide three main types of EV charge points available to home and business owners.
These are categorised into rapid, fast, and slow chargers and represent the power output and charging speeds available to charge an EV.

Up to 3kW, slow chargers are most frequently installed at residential addresses where vehicles are likely to be parked overnight.
Fast Charging
Fast chargers can achieve a fully charged electric vehicle in 3-4 hours, including those with a charging power from 7kW to 22kW.
Rapid Charging
The fastest way to charge an EV, rapid chargers are often found in motorway services and can recharge a vehicle to 80% in under an hour.
