All You Need to Know About Electric Vehicles

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.

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
The EV chargepoint grant provides funding of up to 75% towards the cost of installing electric vehicle smart chargepoints at domestic properties across the UK. It is only open to homeowners who live in flats, and people in rental accommodation (flats and single-use properties). It replaced the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme [EVHS] on 1 April 2022.
