Can any Electrician install an EV Charger?

EV Charger Equipment

There is a huge variety of electric charging equipment available today, we can help guide you through this saving you time. The type of charger you need depends on the make and model of your vehicle, as well as your personal preferences and how you will be using the car.

Level 1 chargers are the slowest but most affordable option, while Level 2 chargers are faster and more expensive. Level 3 chargers are the fastest option but are only available at public charging stations. If you plan to do a lot of long-distance driving, a fast charger is essential. The fastest charger you can currently buy for home installation is 22kw and this is only if you have a 3-phase 415v Electrical supply. The majority of home chargers operate at 7kw for operation on the single-phase supply 240v that most homes in the UK have.

As a consequence car manufactures have designed their cars around this so even if you fit a 22kw charger your car is very likely to have a charge maximum speed of around 10kw/h. All of the high speeds you see mentioned are DC or Direct Current which aren’t usually available for the domestic market.

If you only need to charge your vehicle occasionally, a slower charger will suffice.
