Commercial EV charging solutions

Different EV cars will have different connectors, so always check with the car manufacturer which connection type you have. European EV models (Audi, BMW, Renault, Mercedes, VW and Volvo) tend to have Type 2 inlets normally type 2 in most instances in the rear case it doesn’t fit a adaptor can be used. With home EV chargers, it is as simple as plugging your tethered or untethered cable from your EV charger to your EV car inlet.

No, EV charger installation and EV chargers are sold with VAT added. They unfortunately do not fall under the same government sustainability program as solar panels which are priced without VAT. We recommend customers do keep up to date with the latest government information in this area though, as this may change to help with wider sustainability goals.

This is where home charging and business charging can vary. Businesses tend to have different electricity tariffs to households. For example, a business may get a rate of £0.26 per kWh as they use more power than a residential building. Therefore, to charge an EV with a 62kWh capacity battery would cost £16.12. Again, keep in mind that charging on a public network can cost more. Lamppost chargers cost around 14p per mile and fast chargers around 18p per mile.

This is a common question among EV owners, it relates to the Level 3 or Rapid chargers available at many public charging stations. It is a type of Ev charger connection. Note, not all EV car models will be compatible with a CCS (combined charging system) connection type, always check with your manufacturer. Some CCS type chargers can charge an EV battery in as little as 20 mins, most charge in under 1 hour.

No, be sure to check your manual or with the manufacturer which connection type your EV car accepts. Most EV’s these days will accept the Type 2 connection which are common in the UK and EU. However, older models or Asian made EV’s tend to use Type 1 connectors. Other than that your model may also be compatible with either the CHAdeMO or CCS chargers as seen in commercial or public charging facilities.

Yes, there are government grants available to businesses or even landlords looking to contribute to the public infrastructure of the EV charger network.
