EV home charging installation, energy on tap to keep your wheels turning

We are Smart Home Technical, an electrical installation company based in Verwood, primarily specialising in solar PV, battery storage and EV charger installations. When deciding which EV charger you should have installed, it is best to speak to people in the know such as us!

For a start, all new EV chargers must feature smart functionality which include:

Ability to send and receive information.

Ability to respond to signals to increase the rate of electricity flow.

Ability to change the time at which the charger uses electricity.

There are different chargers which suit individuals’ different needs. Factors such as when you wish to charge, type of car, whether you have solar PV and which tariff you are currently on are all aspects which can determine which charger is best for you. EV charging can cost as little as £0.07 per Kwh when using a Go tariff or similar which, normally equates to 2-3 miles, dependent on the vehicle.

There are currently Government grants towards the installation cost which are available for residential flats, residential rental properties and commercial premises. These grants are applied for by the company fitting the charger if they are registered with OLEV which, of course, Smart Home Technical are.

Every EV charger installation should also be registered, by the installation company, with your Distribution Network Operator which, in this local area is SSE. The DNO needs to know the size and type of EV charger to understand how much electricity demand the charge point will require.
