Why install an EV charger?

PG Electrics Ebbw Vale Why install an EV charger?

Have you got an electric vehicle and have found yourself thinking why install an EV charger? PG Electrics can help you, we offer a swift and efficient EV charger installation service so that you can start to experience the benefits of a home EV charger.

EV charger speeds?

Whilst you can charge your EV using a 3 pin charger, PG Electrics want to give our clients expert guidance and advice. That’s why we suggest that a dedicated EV charger at your home is a much better way to charge your EV vehicle. It’s much safer and faster, not to mention convenient.

EV battery sizes vary and obviously a larger battery will require more time to be fully charged. A typical EV battery size of 600kWh will take about 8 hours to charge using 7kW, this is a typical charging speed for most residential homes. In fact, a home EV charger can charge your vehicle 3 times faster than using a 3 pin plug. You can simply have your EV charging overnight, ready for the day ahead, all while you sleep.

Benefits of installing an EV charger?

Speed- So we’ve established that a home EV charger will charge your car faster than plugging it into a 3 pin plug. Having your car charged in the safety of your home driveway or garage, all while you sleep will give you added freedom and convenience.

Safety- 3 pin plugs are not designed to support the power load required when charging an electric vehicle, especially charging for a few hours.  e’ve seen the damage caused when using a 3 pin plug to charge your EV and the risks associated with overheating. Residential properties don't really get rewired frequently so the state of any existing wiring at a property is also a factor to consider when charging an EV via a 3 pin plug.

Installing an EV charger at your Ebbw Vale property will require a new electrical circuit to be installed by a qualified electrician such as PG Electrics. The circuits will actually be specialised and designed to manage car charging which makes them ultimately safer to use.

Location- There’ll be no need to drive around finding an available public charging spot once you’ve got your home EV charging installed. As long as you have a space such as a garage or driveway, we can very easily install your charging point. Having installed numerous EV chargers in and around Ebbw Vale, most homeowners prefer a tethered homecharge which means you just need to plug the cable into your car when you’re ready to charge your vehicle.
