Car Charging

Electric Car Charging Solutions for Your Home

As electric car production rises, the importance of reliable and efficient car charging becomes even more critical. Many electric vehicle (EV) owners charge their vehicles overnight, ensuring they wake up to a fully powered car. While some choose to use a standard 3-pin plug for charging, this method can be time-consuming and less efficient. That’s why most EV owners opt for a dedicated home charging unit, offering faster and more flexible charging options.

Why Upgrade to a Home Charging Unit?

Using a regular 3-pin plug to charge your electric car provides around 2.3 kW of power. For a car with a 40kWh battery, this means it could take up to 17 hours to achieve a full charge. In contrast, dedicated home charging units are significantly more powerful, reducing charging time and giving you greater control over your energy use.

Here are some key advantages of installing a home EV charger:

  • Faster Charging: Home chargers deliver power at a much higher rate, meaning your vehicle charges more quickly and efficiently.
  • Cost Savings: With a home charging unit, you can take advantage of overnight energy tariffs, scheduling your car to charge during off-peak hours for reduced costs.
  • Convenience: Charge your vehicle at home while you sleep, ensuring it’s ready to go in the morning.

Public Charging vs. Home Charging

Local authorities, such as Coventry City Council, have already begun installing rapid chargers capable of charging an electric vehicle in as little as 30 minutes. But wouldn’t it be more convenient to have that same flexibility at home?

A home charging unit gives you the freedom to top up your vehicle’s battery whenever it suits you, without relying on public charging stations. Plus, it ensures that you’re always ready to drive, whether for a daily commute or a spontaneous trip.

Government Grants for EV Home Charging

You may be eligible for the OLEV (Office for Low Emission Vehicles) Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) grant, which can cover up to 75% of the cost of installing a home charging point. This makes upgrading your home charging system even more affordable.

Testimonials Received

EV Charger – Checkatrade Customer

Anthony was great, from coming out to measure up and quote to installation. Anthony was very responsive and answered any questions I had. On the day of installation Anthony and Brian completed the work to a good tidy finish, and cleaned up after they were done. I will be using Anthony in the future for any other electrical work I need to have done. I would recommended him to anyone who needs a knowledgable and well priced electrician.

EV charger installation

I needed a Ohme EV charger installing for my new electric car and after doing some research, contacted Anthony at PDI. It turned out to be a great decision as the customer service, quality of installation and price was fantastic. I wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending PDI to friends and family when they’re looking for an EV charger to be fitted.
