What is an Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger?

An EV car charger provides charging points for your electric vehicle. You can typically find a place to charge your electric vehicle at service stations, car parks or even on the side of the road. These standard installation points can be tricky to access during peak hours as there may not be an open station, plus you might have to drive a bit to find an open station. 

A home charger requires alternating current or AC in order to charge your EV. The power supply for your charger can either come directly from the national grid supply or from a renewable energy source such as solar PV panels.

You don’t just have to charge your plug-in electric vehicles in public spaces. You can opt to install a home charging station and set up a smart home system. Adding a home charger to your existing solar system will allow you to enjoy reduced charging costs as charging from home is often cheaper. This is especially true during off-peak hours and even more so if you have a renewable energy supply powering your home. 

Above setting up devices for charging at home, we also offer smart charging devices for businesses. EV charging stations on business premises can be beneficial in many ways. You can use it as an incentive for employees and allow them to charge their vehicles during business hours. Another fitting use would be to bring in more profit by having citizens pay to use your charging stations.  

The Benefits of Installing an Electric Car Charger at Home

There are several advantages to charging your electric car at home, such as:
Cost-effective charging: Home charging allows your charger to use stored energy during off-peak hours — saving you money on electricity costs. You can even expect zero-cost charging if you connect your charger to your solar panels.

Safe and secure charging: Using a home charger leaves your car less exposed to public risks such as theft, vandalisation and severe weather conditions like hailstorms, especially if you have undercover parking at home. 

Smart home control: Some smart home charging devices allow you to control your vehicle charger’s behaviour remotely. The app allows you to view the charging progress and pause or start it when required. 

Added convenience: Home chargers are super convenient. You can wake up to a fully charged car battery every morning, which ensures your car has enough juice to navigate the day. 

Faster car charging: Public charging equipment usually doesn’t offer great performance. EV home chargers can carry higher currents, reducing the time it takes to get from a low battery to a full charge. 

Our EV Charger Installation Service

Using an electric car is a greener alternative to gas-fueled cars. You can take your sustainability efforts a step further by charging your electric vehicle using solar power generated at your home or business. You can charge your vehicle using electricity generated from your home solar panels — forgoing the need to rely on a grid supply.

AJ Renewables provides a comprehensive installation service, including a design service that allows you to preview how the set-up will look once installed. We also offer a return on investment calculation to give you an idea of when you might start seeing those expected savings. These services are free of charge and provided so that you can make the most informed decision before investing in the installation of an EV home charger. 

We are committed to providing high-quality products and a professional car charger installation performed to the highest standards. As a testament to this commitment, our standard installation process comes with insurance-backed warranties.

Our Selection of EV Chargers

We supply and install premium charging products from MyEnergy, industry-leading EV charger suppliers. 

The MyEnergy Zappi is a home electric car charger that can actually get you zero-rated VAT when paired with the accompanying battery storage system called Libbi. Zappi offers three EV home charging modes: 

  • Eco charging: This offers a combination of green energy and grid electricity for your charging needs. It can help you cut back on charging costs by automatically charging during off-rate energy tariff periods. 

  • Eco+ charging: Your charging is adjusted based on responses to power generation or energy usage. The system will pause your charging if there is an increase in power consumption and then resume it when surplus electricity is available.

  • Fast charging: This offers the maximum power when charging your electric vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are our answers to some commonly asked questions to consider before you choose to charge your electric car at home.

What’s the difference between tethered chargers and a universal socket?

You can choose between two types of home EV chargers. The main difference is the lack of a cable or the inclusion of one. 

Tethered chargers have a cable permanently attached to the charging box, removing the need for unnecessary rummaging while searching for a separate cable. You can simply pull up to your charging pod, plug the cable into your car, and charge it. 

A universal socket unit or an untethered cable requires you to insert your own charging cable into the charge box. These universal socket units are compatible with all plug-in electric vehicles as long as the correct cable is used. 

What does standard installation include?

With AJ Renewables, our standard installation package includes the supply of the most ideal product suited to your needs, a comprehensive design and quotation service, and a professional installation. 

How much does it cost to have an electric car charger installed?

The cost of an electric vehicle charging station can be around £1,000. However, there are various factors that affect how much it will cost to have a home charging point installed. Usually, the cost depends on:

  • The type of product you choose — choosing a more expensive EV charging product will push up the overall costs 

  • The installation team’s labour — more complex jobs will usually cost more 

  • Additional labour — the additional labour and tools required may increase the cost 

The best way to find out the exact costs involved and how much you’ll pay is to reach out to your local EV charger supplier — AJ Renewables. We work on a fixed price as provided in your quotation. If we arrive on-site and the job is more complicated than originally quoted, we may charge an additional cost — but not without discussing it with you first.

Can a normal electrician install an electric vehicle charger?

No. Your electrician needs to be authorised by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and registered with a Competent Persons Scheme (CPS) — as our installers are. Electricians should have undertaken specialist training for charge point installation and hold the relevant certification.

Do I need permission to install an electric car charger?

You don’t usually require planning permission to install a car charging point at home. This, however, depends on whether you’re installing it in a conservation area, a listed building, or if the charger will be faced or fitted within two metres of a highway.
