Generate revenue by offering electric vehicle charging to the public, for free, using your existing space.
Keeping the driver in mind
We build our electric vehicle charging stations around the driver. With our fully lit, 24/7 security forecourt canopy design to protect your session from the weather, and our reliable and easy-to-use charging points, we make the EV experience as easy and as safe as possible.
By 2035, all new production cars will be fully electric, working towards the government’s universal net zero objectives. Download our brochure to learn more.
How long does it take to charge an electric car?
The amount of time it takes to charge an electric car depends on the type of charger used, the capacity of its battery, and the car model. Generally speaking, plugging into a standard 3 pin plug socket (known as a Level 1 charger) a car will take anything up to 12 hours to charge.
This is okay if a driver wants to charge overnight at home, but not suitable for any day time scenarios. Most electric vehicle manufacturers recommend charging a car to 80%. Charging between 80% and 100% takes longer, as the car will preserve its battery life by drawing power slower between these levels.
It depends on the type of charger and the car’s battery size. Generally, it can take anywhere from 2 to 8 hours to charge an electric car up to 80%.
Again, it will depend on the type of charger used and the car’s battery. But a 22kW charger would typically take around 2 to 4 hours to charge an electric car to 80%.
Some cars won’t be able to draw as much as 43kW, but those that do, it will take 30 to 60 minutes to charge a battery to 80%.
Why Bother With EVs?
The move towards electric vehicles in the UK is part of the government‘s long–term plan to reduce emissions and tackle climate change. The government has implemented a number of initiatives to encourage the uptake of electric vehicles, such as financial incentives, grants, infrastructure investment and public awareness campaigns.
Electric vehicles are increasingly seen as an attractive and viable alternative to petrol and diesel vehicles, offering both environmental and economic benefits. Electric vehicles are more energy efficient, producing significantly fewer emissions and are cheaper to run than petrol and diesel vehicles. Additionally, the UK government is investing in the development of charging infrastructure, providing grants to local authorities to install charging points in public car parks, and making it easier and more convenient for electric vehicle owners to charge their vehicles.
