There is a £350 government grant available from the Office of Low Emission Vehicles (or OLEV). One key stipulation is you need to own your own private parking.

Unless you’ve already told us that you don’t have a private driveway or garage, the price here includes your charger plus a standard install with £350 taken off for the OLEV grant.

Electricity tariffs designed for electric car drivers like the Go Tariff from Octopus Energy can save the average driver up to £240 per year. A smart charger can schedule your charge to start and stop in the off-peak period, so you don’t have to plug in at midnight or get out of bed in the early hours to unplug. Some chargers can schedule for the hours when our grid is at it’s cleanest instead if you prefer.

Some chargers will schedule for the hours when our grid is at it’s cleanest, if you prefer.

If you have solar or are thinking of getting solar this is a must-have. You can ask this charger to wait until it notices that your home is generating more solar power than you’re using. Then it will switch on charging to soak up your excess solar power into your car.

Fuse Protection (also known as ‘Load Balancing’) reduces the power to your car if your home is getting close to it’s fuse limit. Once you are connected to your installer, they will be able to advise whether Fuse Protection is important for your home, or not. Learn more about Fuse Protection here.
