If you’ve recently bought an electric vehicle or you’re fed up with relying on public charging points, installing a home EV charger Wakefield is one of the best investments you can make.
At Duravault, we regularly install home EV chargers for homeowners across Wakefield with most standard installations typically costing between £900 and £1300, depending on the charger you choose and the electrical work that is required. Charging at home is more convenient, often cheaper and means your car is ready to go every single morning.
Why a home EV charger Wakefield makes everyday life easier.
One of the biggest reasons people choose a home EV charger Wakefield is simply convenience. Instead of planning your week around the public charging stations or having to wait around for an available charger, you can simply pull up at home and plug your car in.
Your vehicle charges overnight while you relax indoors and by the morning its fully charged and ready for your day ahead. There’s no extra journey, wasted time or worrying about your next charging stop.
Many homeowners also find that charging over night on an off peak electricity tariff can significantly reduce running costs compared to using public rapid chargers.
We recently spoke with a young couple living in a three bedroom terraced house on Oakwood Avenue. They had a private driveway, making their property ideal for an EV charging installation.
One of them had recently changed jobs. Their previous employer had allowed staff or charge their electric vehicles for free at work however it is not a benefit the new job offers. Before long, they found themselves making regular trips to public charging stations, spending more money than expected and wasting valuable time after work waiting around for the car to charge up.
Fortunately, their home already had a modern consumer unit located close to where the charger would be installed, making their installation really straight forward. We fitted a smart EV charger along with CT clamp for load monitoring, ensuring the charger could intelligently manage the homes electrical demand while charging safely. Like many homeowners we visit, they kicked themselves for not have an EV charger installed sooner.
Save money with a home EV charger Wakefield
Although there is an upfront installation cost, a home EV charger Wakefield can help reduce long term charging costs. Public charging prices can vary considerably, particularly at rapid charging stations where it is often much more expensive than charging at home. By charging overnight on a suitable tariff, many EV owners notice worthwhile savings over the course of a year.
Modern EV chargers are smarter than ever
Today’s chargers do far more than simply charge your vehicle.
Many smart chargers allow you to:
- Schedule overnight charging
- Monitor energy usage through a smart phone app
- Track charging costs
- Receive software updates automatically
- Balance your homes electrical load using load monitoring technology
Is your home suitable for an EV charger?
The good news is that many properties are already suitable for an EV charger installation.
If you have off-road parking, a driveway or garage and a modern electrical installation, fitting a charger is often quicker than homeowners expected. Even if your home needs a few upgrades first, we can advise on the safest and most practical solution.
At Duravault, we’ll always assess your property before installation and explain everything in easy terms, so you’ll know exactly what’s involved and what the costs are before any work begins.
