HOW DOES EV CHARGING WORK?

EV charging is a surprisingly simple process when broken down, and although it may seem somewhat of a drastic change from the usual way you fuel your manual vehicle, convenience is prioritised. Often as simple as plugging in the tethered charger and leaving your vehicle for a period of time, some stations may require you to bring your own connecting cable, however this can easily be stored within your car. Once charged, you can simply remove the cable, and pay via card, machine or remotely.

IS INSTALLATION EXPENSIVE?

Installation costs vary, with different providers charging different rates. GE National are committed to making sustainable living affordable, which is why we’re transparent with pricing for your electric car charging point. Although other companies may charge a premium, all it takes is a phone call our way to clarify your situation and energy needs. Call us today, and we’ll be happy to take you through the popular choices and unique offers, with savings to be made in the long-term too.

WILL IT TAKE LONG TO CHARGE A VEHICLE BATTERY?

Time taken to fully charge your vehicle will depend on the vehicle itself, the method of charging, and other factors, but generally leaving your car overnight to charge will provide more than enough for a full charge. Whereas fast charging can take less than an hour in some circumstances, larger vehicles may require additional time, so being sensible with tracking charge is recommended.
