When it comes to charging an electric vehicle (EV), you have a few options to choose from. We know that everyone has different driving habits, so let’s go through some of the options available to you.
- Firstly we have Home Charging. If you don’t already have a home charger installed, and have the ability to have one installed on your property, this is the cheapest option overall for charging your EV. Home chargers are typically 7kW, charging your vehicle in around 9 hours and will cost about £9.
- Next we have On Street Charging (Up to 22kW). This type of charger is beneficial for drivers who do not have the ability to have a home charger installed on their property. These chargers go up to 22kW, will take between 3-12 hours to charge your EV and will cost about £34 for a full charge.
- Lastly we have Rapid and Ultra Rapid Charging (up to 350kw). This type of charger is typically used for a quicker charge in the middle of a driver’s day and not recommended to use for every charge. These are up to 350kW, taking 25-56 minutes and cost £33 for 80% charge.
