The investment for a 7.4kW charge point totals less than £1,000, including both supply and installation. You can make the most of an OLEV grant that offsets the expense, resulting in an estimated outlay of around £400-500, VAT included. Additionally, grants are accessible for businesses interested in implementing charge points at their workplaces.

Certainly, there exist two viable methods. The first approach involves using the dedicated Zappi charger, which diverts surplus solar generation directly into your electric vehicle, enhancing your eco-friendly mobility. However, it's essential to have your EV stationed at home during daylight hours. Alternatively, you can harness a battery system to store the excess solar energy, discharging it into your EV during evening hours. This battery can also power your household devices once the sun has set. To get started, schedule a free site survey. One of our specialists will guide you on costs and installation timelines.
No, electric vehicles require an AC supply for charging.
Of course! Our site surveys for battery installations are 100% complimentary.
Electric vehicles adhere to two standard connectors, namely Type 1 and Type 2. While the industry is gravitating towards Type 2 as the universal standard, charge points supporting both types are available. Moreover, Type 1 to Type 2 adapter cables are also on offer.
As a general rule, the installation process takes about half a day. However, if your fuse box is positioned far from the charge point's location or if cabling needs to traverse internal spaces, the installation timeline might be slightly extended.
