ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Charge Points

The conversion to electric vehicles is now rising since the UK Government has confirmed that all new cars from 2030-2035 must be electric. The range of electric vehicles is bigger and better than ever, with all manufacturers making the move to electric.

HOW DO I

Charge an EV?

You can charge an electric vehicle by either plugging it into a socket or by plugging into a charging unit. There are three different types of chargers:

Three-pin plug – a standard three-pin plug that you can connect to any 13-amp socket.

Socketed – a charge point where you can connect a type 1 or type 2 cable.

Tethered – a charge point with a cable attached with either a type 1 or type 2 connector.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE

To charge a car?

EV Charging can take anywhere between 30 minutes and 10 hours. The length of time it takes to charge is dependent on multiple factors. This includes: how long it takes depends on your car battery size, how many miles you do between charges, and the power of the charger you’re using.

There are 3 main types:

Slow – 3kW used to charge overnight or during work. 8-10 hours to fully charge.
Fast – 7kW to 22kW usually found in car parks or supermarkets. 3-4 hours to fully charge.
Rapid – upwards of 43kW found at motorway service stations or petrol stations. Takes 30-60 minutes to fully charge.

Please note: If you do not own your home, you must get written permission from your landlord before an EV charging point can be installed.
