EV charger installation Garforth

Duravault are your local electricians, delivering high quality installations and a first class service.

Key considerations before EV charger installation in Garforth

Ideally you want reliable and good WiFi. This will help sync your mobile device to the EV charger to help with remote features. You can stop/start charging from your mobile device as well as monitor any charging history.

Once Duravault comes out to the property in Garforth, we can identify where best to mount the charger unit. We recommend installing the charger close to your driveway or garage just to make the charging process more convenient for you. If you live in a private rental property and don’t have dedicated off street parking, we can still install an EV charger with permission from the landlord.

Will my fuseboard support EV charger installation?

As an experienced team of electricians, we have the expertise and skill required to make sure your existing fuse board or consumer unit can manage the additional load of EV charging. If the fuse board is outdated, we may suggest an upgrade for safety compliance before going ahead.

In most cases, we add a new dedicated circuit from the fuse board to the charger. As per Building Regulation, circuits for high demand devices such as EV chargers do require their own RCD or Residual Current Device.

How long does it take to charge a car with a home charger?

If you find locating a public charger stressful then EV charger installation in Garforth needs to be considered. With an average charger speed of 7kW and average battery capacity between 40-60kWh, you could charge your vehicle in about 8 hours. Many existing customers actually charge their EV overnight so that the car is ready to go in the mornings.

Benefits of home EV chargers

Home EV chargers are considerably cheaper than public ones. Recent studies show that you could save 3 to 4 times more just by using a 7.4kW home charger. When combined with additional charging features such as scheduled charging, you could save even more money. Imagine setting your EV to charge in the evenings when energy tariffs are cheaper.

Many drivers are ditching traditional fuel cars in a bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike petrol or diesel cars, EV won't release carbon emissions. If you’re thinking of a more sustainable future and haven't already made the switch to an EV, hopefully the benefits of EV charger installations will help sway you.
