The UK is witnessing a significant shift towards electric vehicles, with the government aiming to ensure that all new cars and vans are electric by 2035. As a result, the demand for EV charging points is increasing rapidly. Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, installing an EV charging point can be a convenient and cost-effective way to charge your electric vehicle.
At Applegarth, we’ve been installing EV charging points for both residential and commercial properties for over a decade. Our team of experienced electricians is dedicated to providing a seamless and efficient installation process, ensuring that you can start charging your vehicle as soon as possible.
Benefits of Installing an EV Charging Point
Installing an EV charging point at your home or business can bring numerous benefits. For one, it provides a convenient and quick way to charge your vehicle, saving you time and effort. Additionally, it can also save you money in the long run since you’ll no longer need to rely on public charging points.
Here are some of the key benefits of installing an EV charging point:
- Convenience and speed of charging: With an EV charging point, you can charge your vehicle at your own pace without worrying about finding a public charging point.
- Cost savings: By installing an EV charging point, you can save money on fuel costs and reduce your reliance on public charging points.
- Environmental benefits: EV charging points are a more environmentally friendly option than traditional fuel-powered vehicles, reducing carbon emissions and contributing to a more sustainable future.
- Increased property value: Installing an EV charging point can increase the value of your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers or tenants.
Residential EV Charging Point Installation
Installing an EV charging point at your home is a straightforward process that can be completed in as little as a few hours. Our team of electricians will assess your property’s electrical capacity and infrastructure to determine the best location for the charging point.
However, please note that the government’s support for residential EV charging point installations has changed. The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme, which offered up to a 75% contribution (capped at £350) towards an EV charge point installation, is no longer available to homeowners who live in single-unit properties.
If you’re a homeowner who lives in a flat or rental accommodation, you may still be eligible for the new charge point grant. Our team can help you understand the changes and see if you qualify for a grant.
Commercial EV Charging Point Installation
Installing EV charging points at your business can be a great way to attract customers and employees who own electric vehicles. It can also enhance your company’s environmental reputation and contribute to a more sustainable future.
At Applegarth, we’ve installed EV charging points at various commercial properties, including offices, shopping centres, and car parks. Our team will work with you to determine the best location and type of charging point for your business, taking into account factors such as foot traffic and parking layout.
We’re also an OZEV-approved installer, which means we can help you access funding through the Workplace Charging Scheme. This scheme provides support for organisations towards the cost of installing up to 40 electric vehicle charge point sockets at their sites.
