Why install an EV charger?
Electric vehicle chargers Lincoln
To help meet its climate target, the UK government has announced that it will prohibit the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030. Electric vehicles now account for about a fifth of new car sales in the UK.
Some of the benefits of installing an electric vehicle (EV) charging point:
-
Having an EV charging point at home or at work enables you to charge your vehicle while it's not being used.
-
If you have reduced-cost electricity, such as Economy 7, or dynamic pricing, the cost of charging the vehicle can be reduced.
-
If the property has solar PV panels or a PV/battery system, the vehicle can be charged with energy from the PV array.
