A home EV charger can make charging more convenient and cost-effective, while helping you take greater control of how and when your vehicle uses electricity.
Many EV owners only need to top up their battery each night. By using off-peak tariffs, you can charge overnight when electricity is often cheaper.
Smart EV chargers can work with solar panels and battery storage, allowing surplus renewable energy to be used to charge your vehicle.
Most modern EV chargers connect to a smartphone app, allowing you to monitor charging progress, energy usage and costs from wherever you are.
Electric vehicles are becoming the norm across East Anglia, but charging from the grid alone means you are still paying for energy you could be generating yourself. A home EV charger connected to your solar system changes that completely.
GLANtech SOLAR makes the whole process simple. From your first consultation through to a fully certified installation, we handle every stage with care, using quality chargers that will perform reliably for years to come.
Technically, no. Most electric vehicles come with a charging cable that can be plugged into a standard three-pin socket. However, that's a bit like filling a bath using a garden hose—it'll eventually get there, but it's not the quickest or most efficient way to do it.
A dedicated home EV charger is faster, safer and designed specifically for charging electric vehicles. It also gives you access to smart features such as scheduled charging, app control and, in many cases, the ability to charge your car using excess solar energy.
At GLANtech Solar, we'll help you choose the right charger for your home, your vehicle and your lifestyle, so charging becomes one less thing to think about.
The answer depends on your vehicle, the size of its battery and the charger you have installed.
Think of it like filling a bucket. A small tap will eventually fill it, but a larger tap gets the job done much quicker.
Most homes have a 7kW EV charger, which is the ideal choice for everyday charging. For many electric vehicles, an overnight charge is more than enough to leave you with a full battery ready for the next day's journey.
The good news is that most people don't wait for their car to charge, they simply plug it in when they get home and let it charge while they sleep.
Yes, and it's one of the biggest benefits of combining solar panels with an EV charger.
Imagine growing your own fruit and then using it to make breakfast every morning instead of buying it from the supermarket. Charging your car with solar works in much the same way.
Rather than buying electricity from the grid, your EV charger can use the electricity your solar panels are generating, helping to reduce your charging costs even further.
Some smart chargers can even prioritise surplus solar energy, meaning your car charges using electricity that might otherwise have been exported back to the grid.
At GLANtech Solar, we can design a complete home energy system where your solar panels, battery storage and EV charger all work together seamlessly.
Choosing an EV charger is a bit like choosing a mobile phone. Most will do the basic job, but some have extra features that make everyday life much easier.
Some chargers allow you to schedule charging overnight when electricity is cheaper. Others integrate with solar panels, monitor your energy usage or let you control everything from an app.
The best charger for you depends on your vehicle, your home's electrical supply and whether you already have solar panels or battery storage.
We'll explain the options in plain English and recommend a charger that suits your needs rather than simply selling the most expensive model.
Charging your electric vehicle does use electricity, but it's usually far cheaper than filling a petrol or diesel car with fuel.
Think about charging your phone. You probably don't notice the cost because you're doing it at home. While an electric car uses much more electricity, charging at home is still one of the most cost effective ways to run a vehicle.
If you combine your charger with solar panels or use an off-peak electricity tariff, you can reduce your charging costs even further.
We'll happily explain how to get the best value from your charger and help you make the most of cheaper electricity tariffs.
Absolutely.
Many homeowners install an EV charger long before they decide to invest in solar panels.
It's a bit like installing a new kitchen before replacing the flooring. One improvement doesn't depend on the other, and you can always add more later.
If you're thinking about installing solar panels in the future, we can recommend a charger that's ready to integrate when the time comes.
That means you won't need to replace your charger later if you decide to generate your own electricity.
Yes, and for many drivers, it's the most convenient and cost-effective way to charge.
Think of it like setting your washing machine to start overnight when electricity is cheaper. Your car quietly charges while you sleep, so it's ready to go in the morning.
Many energy suppliers now offer smart tariffs with lower overnight electricity rates, and most modern EV chargers allow you to schedule charging automatically to take advantage of those cheaper prices.
You simply plug your car in when you get home and let the charger do the rest.
Almost certainly, yes.
Modern home EV chargers are designed to work with most electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles sold in the UK.
It's a bit like buying a USB charger for your phone. While there are different manufacturers, the charging standards are designed to be compatible.
Before installation, we'll confirm your vehicle and recommend a charger that's fully compatible, giving you complete peace of mind.
In most cases, no.
Installing a home EV charger is usually considered a straightforward home improvement and doesn't require planning permission.
There are a few exceptions, but for many homeowners, the process is simple and hassle free.
As part of our installation service, we'll advise you if there's anything unusual about your property and make sure your charger is installed safely and in line with the latest electrical regulations.
Installing an EV charger isn't just about fitting a charging point to the wall, it's about making sure it's right for your home today and ready for the future.
At GLANtech Solar, we take the time to understand how you use your vehicle, where you park, your home's electrical setup and whether you're planning to install solar panels or battery storage in the future.
We'll recommend a charger that suits your needs, install it professionally, show you how everything works and make sure you're confident using it before we leave.
