The future of cars

As electric car battery range continually gets extended, charge times get reduced and the publically available charging infrastructure makes it easy to charge while out of your home then ownership of low-emission vehicles will increase even further. Couple this with many towns and cities reducing access to low emission vehicles only then you start to see that traditional choices of personal transport are changing and that low-emission vehicles are going to become a normal part of how we get around. 

Having fast electric charging points at your home makes it much easier to live with your low emission vehicle. The goverment incentives are just that - an incentive to help people start this journey to low emission vehicle ownership. The grants will not be around forever.

About OLEV: The home EV charger grant

This current scheme, funded by the UK Government’s Office is called the Electric Vehicle Home Charging Scheme (EVHCS); it enables low emission vehicle owners (or committed buyers) to install EV charging points at their home at a reduced installation cost.

Under the Electric Vehicle Home Charge Scheme or the OLEV grant, the UK government provides an offer of up to £350 for your electric vehicle socket installation at home (max 2 sockets), making the electric charge point installation process easier and easing the financial burden on your transition to electric vehicles. You need to use an OLEV approved charger installed by an approved installer to qualify.

What Home EV charge points do you need?

It is important that you have charging points that are compatible with a wide range of EVs as there are a range of voltage types available. The Type 27kW charger is the most common option as this can be compatible with all the new and best-selling electric vehicles in the market. Electric vehicle charging at home can take a short time of three to four hours.

Wall or socket points?

Wall installations are the most commonly installed electric plug points, however, sockets that are installed on posts are also an option. The latter is more expensive than the former as electricity needs to be supplied to the post from under the ground.

Costs of an electric plug point installation at work

Installation is generally charged in addition to the cost of the plug point, however, up to £350 pounds can be claimed under the OLEV grant for home and for your business. As mentioned above, electric power points on posts tend to be more expensive, costing from £2500 to £5000 after the application of the EVHCS or WCS grant. An advanced rapid charger can cost up to £35000. It is important that get multiple quotes from a number of different manufacturers as to your options.
