Choosing Your EV Charger

You can either:

• Purchase your EV charger directly from us, where we'll help you choose the right charger for your vehicle, home and budget, or
• Purchase your own charger from a retailer or manufacturer, and we'll professionally install it for you.

Budget vs Premium EV Chargers

Not all EV chargers are the same. While they all perform the basic function of charging your vehicle, the features, build quality and user experience can vary significantly.

Budget Chargers

Budget chargers are ideal if you're simply looking for a reliable way to charge your vehicle at home.

They typically offer:

• Safe and reliable charging.
• Basic smart charging functions.
• Mobile app control (depending on the manufacturer).
• Lower upfront cost.

Premium Chargers

Premium chargers provide additional features, improved reliability and a more refined user experience. Depending on the manufacturer, these may include:

• Faster and more responsive mobile apps.
• Solar PV integration.
• Battery storage integration.
• Dynamic load balancing.
• Scheduled charging to take advantage of cheaper electricity tariffs.
• Energy usage monitoring and reporting.
• RFID access control.
• OCPP compatibility.
• Higher-quality components and longer manufacturer warranties.
• Regular software and firmware updates.
• Improved weather resistance and build quality.

Premium chargers can often help you maximise self-generated solar energy, reduce electricity costs and provide greater flexibility as your home's energy system evolves.

Which Charger Is Right for You?

The best charger depends on your individual needs, budget and future plans.

During your survey, we'll discuss your requirements and recommend the most suitable options. Whether you're looking for a simple, cost-effective charger or a premium smart charging solution, we'll ensure you receive honest, impartial advice.
