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.

Slow Charging
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.
OZEV Grants
The UK government offers grants to support the use of electric and hybrid vehicles.
- EV chargers and installers must be OZEV approved to apply
- Grants may require designated, off-street parking
- From April 2022 the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme [EVHS] will only be open to homeowners who live in flats, people in rental accommodation (flats and single-use properties). It will no longer be available to homeowners who live in single-unit properties such as bungalows and detached, semi-detached or terraced housing.
