FIVE REASONS TO INSTALL AN EV HOME CHARGER

As an owner of an electric vehicle, there’s no mistaking the fact you can make the most of your green energy solution with an EV home charger, reducing your fuel costs, improving safety and convenience and accessing cleaner green energy solutions from your driveway. In this helpful guide, we provide five reasons why you should consider an EV home charger.

SAFETY

No doubt, installing an EV home charger is the safest option, both for your vehicle and for your own protection. Charging your vehicle in a public space can pose risks, especially when you factor in the time it will take to charge sufficiently, with your vehicle exposed to potential risks including theft, vandalism and the impact of natural elements such as heavy rain and hailstorms. By installing an EV home charger, you will greatly decrease the risk of your electric vehicle being exposed to these risks, as you safely top up your battery from the comfort of your own home.

CONVENIENCE

Stress-free and ultra convenient, installing an EV charging system at home brings the petrol station to your front door, offering you complete control over when you can charge your vehicle and for how long. Better yet, when compared with standard public charging stations, EV home chargers charge much quicker too. On average, it can take up to six hours to charge an electric vehicle completely, (based on a Level 2 charger), which can leave you stranded at the service station for much longer than you’d like. Installing an EV home charger means you can simply leave your vehicle plugged in overnight, allowing it to charge whilst you sleep, ensuring it’s full of juice for the morning commute.

GREEN ENERGY

A modern EV home charging system, such as Zappi, is compatible with known renewable energy sources such as Solar PV or Wind Energy, meaning any energy you use to charge your EV will be gained from your own surplus green energy. One of the most cost-effective and green solutions available for charging your electric vehicle, at GE National, our EV home charger installation specialists excel in Zappi EV charging systems and are proud to have fitted hundreds to commercial and domestic properties throughout the UK!

BOOST VALUE

With an ever-increasing desire for electric vehicles on the road, the prospect of having an EV home charging system for potential property buyers could prove to be the difference maker. Should you ever come to sell your home, with a pre-installed EV charging system on your driveway, you will likely see your properties value increase by upwards of £10,000.

SAVE MONEY

By installing an EV charging system at home, you will gain immediate access to cheaper charging rates than those found at commercial fuel stations, with the ability to charge your vehicle during off-peak hours when electricity costs are at their lowest.
