EV Charging Point Installation

Benefits of EV Charging

We are specialist installers of EV charging in Peterborough for both domestic and commercial premises. There are numerous benefits to installing EV charging systems – both at home or for your business:

Electric Car Charging at Home

• Convenience – charging points make owning an electric vehicle so much easier. There’s no need for messy extension leads and unsightly, long wires.
• They’re affordable – factor in Government grants and home chargers are surprisingly cheap to install. Plus, the electricity will be cheaper than at public charging stations, so in the long run it will pay for itself.
• Boosting range – being able to charge your car at home seriously reduces ‘range anxiety’ – many areas of the UK have limited public charging points available, so being able to leave the house with a fully charged vehicle is significantly less stressful.
• Caring for your car – as with other types of battery, electric car batteries like to be charged fully over an extended period as opposed to being continually topped up. Home charging points make this convenient to do, helping boost the lifespan of your car’s battery.
• A more desirable home – fitting your house with a charging point may make it more desirable if you come to sell, particularly as more and more households are opting for electric cars. Even if your buyer doesn’t own an EV, the chargers are pretty easy to remove.

Electric Car Charging at Work

• Making a good impression – electric vehicle charging points will bolster your company’s image, particularly if you strive to be environmentally-friendly or carbon-neutral.
• Control – business-centric charging point solutions can be configured to only allow your staff or guests to take advantage of them.
• Welcoming – if you regularly welcome visitors to your premises, EV-driving guests will be relieved to know that they’ll be able to recharge their car after the journey there.
• Future-proof – as more and more people purchase electric vehicles, charging points will soon be considered must-have accessories for any business – get ahead of the game now while you still can!

Where to Install the EV Home Charger

The beauty of electric vehicle charging points is their flexibility; Rolec offers a wide variety of products suited to all kinds of installations.

There are few strict limitations on where chargers can be installed on your home, the main one being the charger’s proximity to ‘sim touches’ – metal objects connected to mains electricity. The charger must be located at least 2.5m away from any such object. Otherwise, provided the location allows us to comply with installation regulations, the charging point can be placed wherever you like.

This restriction applies to businesses, too, but most firms choose to install their charging systems in the car park outside as opposed to on their building itself. We can cater for this, with a range of systems available specifically designed for business and public use.

EV Installations in Peterborough

With the government pushing for the majority of vehicles to become electric by 2030, there’s never been a better time to make the switch and accommodate for the changes in how we drive. Whether you’re a homeowner in Hampton or a business owner in Lynch Wood, if you own an electric vehicle, you’ll need access to an efficient and reliable charger.

If you’re a supermarket, shopping mall or restaurant chain, it also makes sense to provide a charging point for your EV-driving customers. From Alwalton to Woodston, Bailey Electrical Services are the trusted local OZEV approved installers across Peterborough and the surrounding areas.
