Electric vehicles are being purchased in increasing numbers as they become more affordable in Holloway. The government’s promise to reduce carbon emissions and make all new vehicles electric by 2030 has also had a significant impact on the number of electric cars on the roads.

Businesses and public transport are making the move to electric vehicles to reduce the costs of Ultra Low Emission Zones that are being implemented across the country.

All of these factors are the reason that we are seeing a huge increase in the need for electric vehicle charging points. While there are some public EV charging stations installed in some car parks across the country, this is not a long-term solution for you if you are purchasing an electric vehicle.

What is an EV Charger?

An EV charger is the charging solution to charge your electric vehicle. It consists of a plug and charging cables installed into a charge point within your home. This is then run outside or into your garage, wherever the car will be parked to charge. A home charger allows you to charge your electric vehicle as often and for as long as you need to.

Types of EV Chargers We Install

We are able to install any type of charger that is compatible with your vehicle’s battery. We also offer smart charging options that can help you to automate your car charging capabilities.

Level 1 Charger Holloway

A level 1 charger is the slowest type of charging option available, with the lowest range per hour of charging. A level 1 charger is plugged into a standard AC plug, and some options have a 3-pin plug. However, although it is easy to use, you will get a low power output from this charging option, with every hour of charging getting you between 3 and 5 miles of range.

This is the usual option for home charging option as it runs through a normal 3-pin plug socket and is the cheapest charging option for a home charger in the UK. Overnight it will give enough charge for most commutes or daily use of a car. However, to charge an EV fully would take over 24 hours.

You can choose to install wi-fi enabled home chargers with a dedicated app which means you can set a timer for when your car begins to charge. This means that you can charge your car when energy costs are cheapest or set a specific length of time for the charger to be on.

Level 2 Charger Holloway

Level 2 charging works in the same way as a level 1 charger; however, it has a greater power output and therefore gives a greater range per hour of charging. With an increased range of between 25 and 32 miles per hour of charging, the costs associated with this type of charge point are understandably higher.

Both the energy and installation costs for a level 2 charger are higher, which is why this type of charging option is generally found only in public places in the UK. However, some of our customers do still have this type of charging option installed at their homes.

Level 3 Charger Holloway

A level 3 charger is different as it bypasses the electrical converter that is used in levels 1 and 2. The converter is used to change the AC (alternating current) energy of your home plug to the DC (direct current) energy used by the car’s battery. However, in a level 3 charge point, you will find the converter is not needed as the charging cables power the car with DC energy.

Level 3 chargers are often referred to as fast charging as you can fully charge your electric car in 15 minutes with the highest output level 3 charger.

Tethered EV Chargers Holloway

Tethered charging options are popular because the only cable to worry about is stored within the box. You can park next to the charging box, remove the cable from the wall box, plug the car in, and leave it to charge. We install tethered chargers that are compatible with almost all models of electric vehicles.

Untethered EV Chargers Holloway

An untethered charger means that the charging cable is stored inside your vehicle, not inside the wall box. So to be able to charge your vehicle, you will need to remove the charging cable from inside your car, plug it into the wall box, plug it into the car, and leave it to charge.

This is our most popular type of charging option as it generally has a cheaper installation fee as the cable for your car is sold separately. You also have the advantage that this type of charging solution is compatible with any model as the manufacturer supplies the charging cable.

Holloway EV Charger Installation Cost

The costs associated with the installation of electric charging points will depend on several factors. These factors include; the power output of the charger type you are installing if you want a smart charging option that links to an app, the type of charger you will be installing, and where you would like the charging option to be installed.

In addition to the costs of installation, it is best to check whether the costs quoted include the charger itself or if the price of the charging port and cables is additional.

The average price of a single phase 7kW level 1 type smart charger in the UK is between £500 and £1,000. The money spent on installation is a one-off fee. However, you should remember that your household energy costs will increase when you begin charging your car overnight.

Car Parks

Another popular location for a rapid charging point is in-store car parks. It is convenient for shoppers who have driven to your business to charge their car while they shop. Therefore a rapid charger is the best option, so customers see a meaningful amount of charge even when doing a quick shopping trip.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an EV Charger

Prices are the main things to consider when choosing an electric charger. There are the prices of the charge, the installation, the accessories, and the additional electricity used. You will then need to decide the power output of the charger, as this will determine the range per hour that your car will charge.

Next, you will need to decide if you would like a smart charger, a rapid charger, or a smart and rapid charger. You should also consider how you are going to power this; if you will use your current electricity provider, switch providers, or consider installing solar panels in Holloway to compensate for the increase in your bills.
