Choosing the right charger

- How often will the car be used?
- What will the car's average daily mileage be?
- Will your car have access to other EV charging stations, such as at your workplace?
- Will your car be at home every night?
These are just some of the things you should ask yourself before selecting an EV charger. We will of course supply and install an EV charger into your Bristol home that meets all your requirements making owning an electric car easy and stress free.
Types of chargers
Luckily the development of EV chargers has and will continue to improve year by year. Today's market has a vast, powerful and easy to use array of EV chargers suitable for home use. The main thing to look at when selecting an EV charger is charge time and how much of an impact this will have on your electricity usage and bills.
- Slow charging: Slow chargers use power up to 3-4kW. These chargers will take on average 6-12 hours for a full charge. This may seem slow but for a lot of homeowners these are more than capable for home usage. If your car is only used for short journeys around town this is a great option. Due to the low power consumption these chargers will not create a big increase on your electricity bills.
- Fast charging: faster chargers use around 7-22kW and can fully charge a car on average in 3-5 hours. These are more common at commercial properties and public EV charging stations. However if you have a car which will be used regularly for long periods of time this might be a better option. You must have a suitable existing electrical system strong enough to handle the added pressure and also have sufficient funds to cover the increased cost of electricity bills.
Considerations
There are a few limitations when installing EV chargers but not to worry, our installers will establish if your Bristol property is suitable during our initial visit. You should also consider whether you want the charger to be tethered or untethered. If you opt for an untethered charger you will need to have the infrastructure in place before use.
