Electric Vehicle Charging: The Next Wave of Clean Energy Use
Electric vehicle (EV) charging is a crucial aspect of owning an electric car, with home charging being the most convenient option. Having an EV charging point on your driveway is more convenient than travelling to a charge point elsewhere.
EV charger installation is a service that HTS Electrical proudly provides homeowners, as a hassle-free way to charge their vehicles from the comfort of their own house. Public charging points can be expensive, making home charging a cost-effective solution for EV owners.
A standard installation typically includes a home survey, installation of the charger, and connection to the electricity meter.
Benefits of Home Charging: Cheap and Convenient
Home charging is up to five times cheaper than public charging points, making it an attractive option for EV owners. Charging an electric car with a home charger can also be done overnight, providing a fully charged battery for the next day’s journey.
Home charging also allows for smart charging, which can help reduce energy usage and save money. For example, smart charging only charges your vehicle during off peak hours, saving you even more money.
Choosing the Right EV Charger
There are various types of EV chargers available, including single phase and three-phase chargers, with different power ratings. Choosing the right charger depends on several factors, including the type of electric car, electricity supply, and budget.

It’s essential to consider the cost of the charger, installation, and any additional costs, such as upgrades to the power supply.
