Choosing The Right
Charger For You
Selecting the right charger involves more than just picking a brand; it's about safely matching the technology to your car, your home, and your lifestyle.
Your Home's Electrical Supply
The first step is always a full assessment of your home's supply. We check your main fuse size and wiring to ensure a safe installation that will never overload your system.
Charging Speed (7kW vs. 22kW)
A 7kW charger is perfect for virtually all homes, providing fast overnight charging. For properties with a three-phase supply, we can install ultra-fast 22kW chargers.
Solar & Battery Integration
A compatible charger can direct genuine surplus solar generation into your car, reducing the electricity you buy from the grid. A battery can provide more flexibility, subject to system capacity and household demand.
An Engineer's Insight:
The Scale of Power
Your electric shower might draw ~9kW of power for ten minutes. A 7kW EV charger draws a huge amount of power for 5 to 8 hours straight.
This is why a professional installation on its own dedicated, safe circuit is not just a recommendation—it's essential.
