Electric Car Charging Points

The electric car revolution has started and with it many car manufacturers and governments have made commitments to move away from the combustion engine.

As the world shifts towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly modes of transportation, the demand for efficient and convenient electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions is on the rise. One of the most effective ways to ensure your electric vehicle is always ready to go is by installing a dedicated 7kW home charge point. At Surrey Smarthome, we specialise in providing car charge point installation services across Surrey, helping you embrace the future of transportation with ease.

Advantages of a 7kW Home Charge Point

Installing a 7kW home charge point offers numerous benefits over using a standard 13-amp plug. Firstly, it significantly reduces the charging time, allowing you to get back on the road faster. A dedicated 7kW charger can charge your electric car up to three times faster than a regular household socket, providing you with greater convenience and flexibility.

Moreover, many modern charge points come equipped with smart features that can be controlled via an app on your phone. This enables you to monitor and manage your charging sessions remotely. With the app, you can set charging schedules to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates, saving you money on your energy bills. Some charge points even offer features like energy usage tracking and integration with smart home systems, making your charging experience seamless and efficient.

Integrating Solar Panels for Sustainable Charging

For homeowners in Surrey with solar panels, a 7kW home charge point can be a game-changer. By integrating your EV charger with your solar panel system, you can maximise the use of renewable energy. You can configure your charge point to draw power primarily from your solar panels, charging your car when excess electricity is generated. This not only reduces your reliance on the grid but also lowers your carbon footprint, making your transportation truly sustainable.

If you are interested in having a 7kw car charge point installed at your home you would first need to have an electrical load survey and main incoming fuse check. This can be done free of charge during an initial consultation.

During the load survey, our technicians will assess your current electrical setup and determine if any upgrades are necessary. Depending on the results, you may need to have your energy network provider upgrade your main fuse to 100 amps. This upgrade is typically provided free of charge but may take a few weeks to complete. Therefore, it is important to book your initial consultation as early as possible to avoid any delays.
