FAQ'S

Simple answer is that you can use a 13A socket however this is not recommended by government and car manufacturers and is very slow. Drawing this amount of current on a continual basis can put too much strain on some wiring systems and can be dangerous and create a fire hazard. The use of an extension leads from a 13A plug is definitely not recommended as this can overheat under the continual load.

Our EV units are wired directly into your supply and therefore do not overload your ring main. Our qualified electricians assess each installation on a case by case basis, ensuring that the correct cabling is always used. This means the installations are completely safe to charge for long periods of time.

Our normal timescale is 14 working days from completion of paperwork but if you need a charging unit more quickly let us know and we will do what we can to get an installation into you as quickly as possible.

Non-standard installations may incur an additional cost. Once your order is placed, we’ll be in touch to get a better understanding of your requirements and produce a no-obligation quote for the additional works. If you decide not to proceed, a full refund will be provided.

The speed of the charge purely depends on the charger you have installed, the battery capacity of the car and your vehicle’s on-board charging rate. A fully electric vehicle with a 24kWh battery will have an estimated charging time of 3-4 hours if you have a 7kW charger and around double that if you have a 3kW charger installed.

This can vary with each energy provider, but the average price across the industry is 17p per kWh (so around £3 to £4 for a full charge on a vehicle with a 24 kWh battery)

It normally about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the complexity of the installation

A Meter Point Administration Number, also known as MPAN, Supply Number or S-Number, is a 21-digit reference used in Great Britain to uniquely identify electricity supply points such as individual domestic residences. It is normally shown on your electricity bill. You will be asked for your MPAN number as part of the OLEV grant process.
