Expert EV Charger Installation in Lancashire & Cumbria
With the UK moving towards a greener future, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming the go-to choice for drivers looking to save money, reduce emissions, and future-proof their transportation. If you’re considering making the switch, or you already own an EV, having a home or workplace EV charger is essential for convenience and efficiency.
At Plugged In Electricians, we specialise in EV charger installations across Lancashire and Cumbria, including Tesla, Zappi, Ohme, Andersen, and Hypervolt chargers. Whether you need a domestic charging point or a workplace charging solution, our expert team ensures a smooth, compliant, and hassle-free installation.
Why Choose an Electric Vehicle?
- Lower Running Costs – Charging an EV is significantly cheaper than refuelling a petrol or diesel car, especially when using off-peak electricity rates or renewable energy sources like solar.
- Eco-Friendly – EVs produce zero exhaust emissions, reducing air pollution and helping combat climate change.
- Government Incentives – Incentives like the Workplace Charging Scheme help reduce the cost of workplace charger installations.
- Less Maintenance – With fewer moving parts than a traditional combustion engine, EVs require less servicing and fewer costly repairs.
- Convenience & Range – With fast and ultra-rapid charging options, modern EVs can be charged quickly at home or on the road.
EV Charger Installation: Why It’s a Game Changer
One of the most frequent questions we hear is: Do I really need a dedicated EV charger at home? The answer is a resounding yes! Here’s why:
- Faster Charging: A standard 3-pin plug can take over 24 hours to charge an EV, whereas a 7kW home charger can fully charge most EVs overnight.
- Smart Charging Features: Chargers like Zappi and Ohme allow you to schedule charging during off-peak hours, saving you even more money.
- Solar Integration: With a Zappi EV charger, you can use solar power to charge your car, reducing energy costs and your carbon footprint.
- Safety First: A professionally installed EV charger is far safer than using a standard socket, reducing the risk of overheating or electrical faults.
