Types of Electric Vehicle charging points
There are various different charge points available on the market from different manufacturers.
These are Rapid, Fast and Slow types. Rapid type chargers are mainly found at places such as Motorway service stations or other public locations.
These can charge a vehicle in up to 20 minutes dependent on model.
Fast chargers are the main type to install at your home or business and a survey of your electrical supply will need to be carried out to assess suitability.
You may need adaptions to your supply fuse size and or earthing to install these.
These chargers are capable of charging a typical car to 100% within 8 hrs. These are the main type we install most commonly.
Slow chargers are designed to top up a car but will take a long time anywhere up to 12 hours or more.
You may have one of these leads provided with your electric vehicle and can be plugged into a standard 13 amp socket outlet.
We would only recommend these as a temporary measure and always recommend a dedicated charge point.
Once your electrical system is declared adequate for an electric vehicle charge point we can typically install one in a day or less. This will be confirmed at the initial survey.
