EV CHARGING

EV Charging Swindon

We install electric vehicle chargers that range from 7kW to 22kW. While most electric vehicles use 7kW on a single-phase power supply, chargers ranging from 11kW up to 22kW will require a three-phase power supply. This type of chargers are more suitable for commercial premises. We can assess what supply you have, and which charger is most suitable.

What are the different types of EV charger?

Swindon EV Charging

3kW: home electric socket

Your EV will usually come with a plug that lets you charge from a standard home electric socket. This is very slow compared to other charging methods, so it’s useful for occasional or emergency use.  It's an efficient choice for those who drive shorter distances and prefer to charge their vehicles gradually.
Average time to charge a battery from empty: 12 hours

7kW: home EV charger

Installing an EV charger at home makes it easy to keep your battery topped up and ready to go. You can fully recharge your car overnight, ensuring it's ready for your daily adventures. Enjoy the benefits of charging times and the comfort of charging at home, right where you need it. 
Average time to charge a battery from empty: 6-8 hours

22kW: fast public charger

You’ll find 22kW chargers in public places like car parks, supermarkets, and motorway service stations. It is technically possible to get a 22kW charger at home, but you’d need to upgrade to ‘three-phase electricity’, which can cost over £10,000, plus you’ll need permission from the network operator (known as the DNO).
Average time to charge a battery from empty: 3 hours

50kW: rapid public charger

Public charging stations often offer the option of rapid charging, which can be especially handy if you’re driving a long distance. These chargers quickly fill your EV to 80%, then slow down the rate of charging for the last 20% to protect the health of your battery.
Time to charge a battery to 80%: 40 mins

350kW: ultra-rapid public charger

You will sometimes see ultra-rapid chargers that offer speeds of up to 350kW – although very few EVs on the road today can actually charge at this speed. That should change in the years ahead, as technology progresses.
Average time to charge a battery to 80%: 20 mins
