Frequently Asked Questions
Installation of wall-mounted electric car charging outlets in areas lawfully utilised for off-street parking does not require planning permission if certain conditions are followed. The size of the electrical outlet shall not exceed 0.2 cubic metres, and it must not face a roadway or be within two metres of one.
The 3-pin plug charger cord that came with your electric car can be used to charge it, but it is slower and has fewer options than a dedicated home charge point. The following are some of the most common reasons why our customers opt to install a charging station that is suitable for their needs:
Safety
A high and continuous electric current over a lengthy period of time is required to charge an electric car. A conventional electrical socket is generally regarded unsuitable for such prolonged use, and overheating of the socket is a possibility.
Charging speed
A normal 2.3kW 3-pin plug takes more than 20 hours to fully charge an electric vehicle, whereas a typical 7.4kW wall box home charging equipment can charge an electric vehicle overnight (usually within eight hours). Here you can see typical charging prices as well as the charging time for each vehicle.
Convenience
The amount of time it takes to charge an electric automobile is one of the criticisms levelled against them. Most EV owners, on the other hand, charge their vehicles overnight with a dedicated wall-mounted device, ensuring that they wake up to a fully charged vehicle each morning.
Generally, the larger the charger’s power output, the faster the car will charge. A conventional home wall-mounted charger is about 3x faster than a three-pin plug and will charge the car from 0 to 80% in anywhere between five and ten hours, depending on the model.
