EV charger installation
Its not just about Tesla's. Electric vehicles are flooding the UK roads with demand for publicly available chargers on the rise, as well as private chargers for the home.

Electric vehicle chargers are appearing across the UK and its no surprise that demand is increasing from homeowners, patients, students, shoppers, visitors, employees and suppliers to have charging points at their premises.
What are EV Chargers?
Both electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles require an EV charger to keep the battery full, just like any chargeable device or electronic.
An EV charging unit taps into the electrical grid to charge an electric vehicle. The technical term for EV charging units is electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).
EV drivers can charge at a home charging unit, a public charging station, or at a workplace charging station.
How do they work?
An EV charger pulls electric current from the grid and delivers it to the electric vehicle through a connector or plug. An electric vehicle stores that electricity in a large battery pack to power its electric motor.
To recharge an EV, an EV charger’s connector is plugged into the electric car inlet (equivalent to a traditional car’s petrol tank) via a charging cable.
EV batteries can only accept direct current (DC) power.
Is it cheaper to run an electric car?
The cost of charging and running an electric car is nearly always less than an equivalent petrol or diesel car. There’s no ‘one size fits all’ cost for charging an electric car. That’s because of the difference in vehicle specifications, and differing costs between a home charge point and public charge points.
However, some basic parameters allow you to calculate your running costs and compare them to what you might be used to as a petrol or diesel driver.
If you can charge at home, or even better, using a free charging station, running an electric car will obviously be far cheaper. However, even with paid superfast 350kW charging, which can get closer to traditional fuel costs, you’ would still be seeing significant savings.
