Domestic EV Charger Installation

Abbey Electrical Services are ROLEC approved and are offering the supply and installation of Electric Car chargers.
     
An electric vehicle charging station is equipment that connects an electric vehicle to a source of electricity to recharge electric vehicles, neighborhood electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Some charging stations have advanced features such as smart metering which helps you keep an eye on your total consumption, other stations also have cellular capability and network connectivity, while others are usually more basic. 
                      

Home EV chargers are more convenient and faster.

A home electric charging port can charge your car from fully flat to fully charged in anywhere between 1 and 7 hours. When you have a home charging point it gives you complete control over when you charge your car. Charging points can be hard extremely hard to find in some areas of the UK, and if you’re not first in line, you could easily find yourself waiting a hefty time. At home, you can just plug it in and carry on with your original plans, without worrying about going out and trying to find a public charging port.

 

Boost your property value.

The government is backing electric vehicles, and there are many grants out there to help you afford an EV Charging Port at your home. Evidence shows that within 4 years there will be 1 million EV’s on UK roads, having a EV Charging Port at your home opens up to new potential buyers who have electric vehicles.
