Fast EV Charger Installations For Home & Business

Available until March 2025, commercial applications and schools can claim back up to 75% of the total cost of your EV charging installations with Datel Electrical, thanks to the Ozev (the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) as part of their Workplace Charging Scheme.

Find out more about the scheme and how to apply it in our blog post here, ‘Save money with sustainable EV charges‘.

The primary difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 EV charger lies in their charging speed and power output, which directly affects how quickly an electric vehicle can recharge.

Level 1:

Level 1 chargers utilise a standard 120-volt outlet, typically found in homes, and deliver around 2 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging, making them ideal for overnight charging or infrequent use.

Level 2:

Level 2 chargers require a 240-volt outlet, similar to those used for large appliances, and can provide about 10 to 60 miles of range per hour, significantly reducing charging time and allowing for faster top-ups during the day. For those who rely on their electric vehicles for daily commuting or longer trips, investing in a Level 2 charger is often the more practical choice.

In many cases, you won’t require planning permission if the charger is installed on a private driveway and does not significantly alter the appearance of your property.

However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, planning permission may be necessary due to the potential impact on the historical or aesthetic value of the area. It’s always advisable to check with your local council or consult a professional to ensure compliance with regulations before proceeding with the installation, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process.

Installing a home EV charger offers numerous benefits that enhance your electric vehicle ownership experience,  including:

• Providing you with the convenience of charging your vehicle overnight, ensuring it’s ready for use each day without the need to visit public charging stations.
• Charging your car at home can help save you time and reduce range anxiety, as you’ll have a reliable power source right at your home.
• Home EV chargers can be more cost-effective in the long run, as you can take advantage of cheaper electricity rates during off-peak hours.
• Having a dedicated EV charger can increase your property’s value and appeal, making it a wise investment as the demand for electric vehicles continues to grow.
