Additional Information
- Which EV charger is right for you?
-
We do not have contracts with specific EV charging suppliers meaning we will suggest the right solution for your requirements.
Forecourts tend to install ultra-rapid chargers to emulate the typical dwell time of 7 minutes on a forecourt of traditional petrol and diesel vehicles.
Commercial businesses are more likely to install fast chargers for their fleet vehicles, staff and customers. Some organisations that specialist vehicles like electric tankers, might consider rapid chargers.
Destination locations will be looking at fast chargers to provide charge to customers while they engage with the services provided, such as shopping. Read more about destination charging in our blog here.
Public sector will be considering various options from fast to rapid chargers. Fast chargers are well suited for public car parks. However, councils may want to offer the option for some drivers to charge and go adding some rapid chargers into the mix.
- Different speeds for different needs
-
All chargers have different speeds offering varying levels and speed of charge. This table shows the kW and range offered by different charge types to achieve 140 miles of range.

- What’s driving the change?
-
UK EV registrations have increased exponentially since 2019 driven by the banning of diesel and petrol vehicle sales from 2030 in the UK. According to National Grid there will be 36 million EV cars on the roads by 2040.
The increase in the demand for electric vehicles will require a complete shift in the infrastructures of our towns and cities as transport shifts from oil to electricity consumption.
We will need to install millions of EV charging stations in forecourts, commercial car parks, commercial businesses, and public sector spaces to ensure people have access to charging whenever and wherever is right for them.
- A typical installation process
-
Each project will have a planning phase, procurement phase, along with an installation and commissioning phase:
The planning phase
- Identify some locations
- Decide on the number and type of charge point(s)
- Make initial contact with your DNO to submit an enquiry and discuss network capacity at the locations concerned
- Appoint an electrical contractor for the charge point installation
Procurement phase
- Apply for an electrical network connection from your DNO
- Submit a map where the preferred location is marked with a circle rather than a specific point
- For multiple applications, prioritise the locations in rank order (most favoured to least favoured) if possible
- Provide your DNO with the technical data sheet for the charge point types you are planning to install
Installation phase
- Receive, review and accept the DNO design and quotation received
- Appoint an electricity supplier who will bill for the electrical energy used
- Your supplier will appoint a meter operator to install a meter for the charge point
Commissioning phase
- Agree start and end dates for DNO works
- Energise your charge point(s)
- Operation and maintenance
