Why should I consider EV charger installation Yeovil?

Like many of the clients we work with, EV charger installation at your own property is such a convenient way of charging your vehicle. This is exactly why a homeowner and EV user at Evesham Avenue, Yeovil contacted us.

The homeowner had had enough of using public chargers after using them for around 6 months. They had also had the occasional top up at home using the granny charger (3 pin plug) as they were doing more frequent journeys. The property was a 2 bedroom, 90's bungalow with an attached garage so they just didn't know which type of charger to go for. Our suggestion was a FastAmps tethered charger as it could be used with an app for smart management. The benefits included scheduled charging for cheaper tariffs  and faster power transfer for speedy charging overnight. Let’s just say the homeowners were thrilled at the thought of having a fully charged car in the mornings.

Is my home ready for EV charger installation Yeovil?

During an initial site survey, we do check the state of the existing consumer unit to ensure it can handle the additional power demands of home EV chargers. The consumer unit needs space for a dedicated RCD circuit to make sure it only trips its own breaker in the event of a power surge or overload. Another requirement is off street parking so a driveway or garage is ideal as the EV charger will need to be mounted onto a wall. The bungalow at Evesham Avenue luckily had a garage which made the cable run between the consumer unit and charger within the standard range of 5 - 10m. Fast and reliable WiFi is handy too as you can tap into remote features on apps, controlling charging features from your mobile device.
