A QUICK GUIDE TO CHARGING YOUR ELECTRIC VEHICLE AT HOME

As the costs of petrol and diesel continue to rapidly increase, our awareness of climate change is also growing. It is becoming increasingly apparent that our reliance on fossil fuels as the main source of our power is not sustainable.

With this knowledge, more and more individuals are making the change from their old cars to newer, more environmentally friendly, electric vehicles (EV). There are countless benefits to this transition, from the long-term financial savings to the instant carbon reductions. What’s more, electric vehicle drivers now have the option to install charging systems in their own homes, making their lives easier, greener and more efficient.

Here is GE National’s guide to charging an electric vehicle at home.

EV HOME CHARGERS

As the name suggests, an electric vehicle home charger is a unit that provides you with the capability to charge your car at home. For those who already own an electric car, this is probably an idea you have toyed around with once or twice. Here at GE National, we specialise in the installation of Zappi EV charging systems. These systems are designed to charge your car quickly and safely, without the risk of overloading your fuses.

BENEFITS

As mentioned above, there are numerous benefits to the use of electric cars as opposed to traditional petrol vehicles. Here, however, we will focus specifically on the benefits of EV home charging.

EASE

Firstly, installing an electric car charging point in your garage makes your life a lot easier. Gone are the days of driving around in search of a charge point, or worrying if your vehicle has been charging for long enough. With an EV charger at home, you can charge your car for as long as you want, with the knowledge that it is safe.

COST

Moreover, despite the installation cost, an EV home charger is a sure way to save money. As you are not having to pay the overhead fees that public charging stations add to their power outlets, home charging is incredibly affordable. This means that as long as you use a reliable and experienced installation service, your EV charger will be a worthwhile investment.

RENEWABLE SYSTEMS

Finally, one of the most exciting things about electric vehicle charging systems is the possibility to integrate them with other renewable power sources such as solar panels and solar battery systems. By using a supplier such as GE National, it is possible to install solar panels at the same time as your EV charger, making your vehicle far cheaper and environmentally sustainable to run!
