Making the most of your 100% electric car

 

 

How do I charge my electric car?

Home plug

Plug your car into a dedicated domestic socket (one with a direct line to the circuit breaker and no other sockets) using your EVSE cable, and the battery will top-up overnight. That’s probably all you will need if you just have a short commute or you don’t use your car every day.

Home AC charger

The best place to charge your electric vehicle at home is using a dedicated AC home charger. With power outputs ranging from 3kW to 22kW, depending on your electricity supply and vehicle capability, AC home chargers allow much faster charging times than using a 3-pin socket. 

Furthermore, the Government EV chargepoint grant can provide support towards an EV chargepoint installation, subject to eligibility. Further details can be found at:

Public charge points

According to information from Zap Map, there are over 42,000 charging points across the United Kingdom, including more than 6,700 rapid and ultra-rapid charges installed. You can even benefit from free parking while you charge at some stations and workplaces.
