WHAT IS AN EV POINT?
An Electric Vehicle (EV) Point allows a driver of an EV or Hybrid Vehicle to recharge the battery on their vehicle.
TYPES OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING POINT
There are 3 main types of chargers these have vastly differing speed.
- Slow Chargers – Primarily found at homes due to speed.
- Fast Charger – Also used at home properties, although can be found in commercial and residential areas.
- Rapid Charger – Mainly found at Motorway Services, Car Parks, Supermarkets and other public locations where super fast charging is necessary.
- Slow chargers are generally only for overnight charging and can take between 6 to 12 hours to completely charge a vehicle.
- Fast Chargers can be installed at homes, businesses and other public locations, they are capable of charging the vehicles batteries within a few hours, depending on the vehicle and rating of the charging point.
- Rapid (or Super Charger) Quickest form of car charging, charges a vehicle to 80% in 30 minutes, approximately an hour for full charge.
TYPES OF CHARGING CONNECTORS
There are numerous types of pin – however these are the main three,all used for rapid charging
Type 2 plugs are the most commonly used and allows for 3 phase charging if your installation allows, I believe these are the best option to install, however the type of plug you use depends which vehicle you have.
