As the UK moves towards a greener future, the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow. One of the most important considerations for EV owners is charging—whether at home, at work, or on the go. At Evlution, we specialise in providing tailored EV charging infrastructure solutions, ensuring seamless, efficient, and cost-effective charging experiences for individuals and businesses alike. Here’s what you need to know about charging your EV.

Home Charging: Convenience & Cost Savings

For most EV owners, home charging is the most practical and cost-effective solution. Installing a dedicated home chargepoint, such as a 7kW fast charger, allows for significantly faster charging than a standard three-pin plug.

Benefits of Home Charging:

  • Cost-effective: Charging at home is cheaper than using public chargepoints, especially when using off-peak electricity tariffs.
  • Convenient: Plug in your vehicle overnight and wake up to a fully charged battery.
  • Government Grants: The UK government offers grants to help reduce installation costs for home chargepoints.

At Evlution, we provide expert consultation, installation, and maintenance services for home charging solutions, ensuring your setup is optimised for your energy needs.

Public & Workplace Charging: Flexible Solutions for Every Need

For those who cannot charge at home, public charging networks and workplace charging stations are essential alternatives.

Public Charging Stations:

  • Rapid Chargers (50kW+): Can charge an EV up to 80% in around 30-60 minutes.
  • Ultra-Rapid Chargers (100kW+): Provide even faster charging, ideal for long-distance travel.
  • Destination Chargers (7kW-22kW): Found in car parks, hotels, and shopping centres for convenient top-ups.

Workplace Charging Benefits:

  • Encourages employee EV adoption.
  • Helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint.
  • May be eligible for government incentives.

At Evlution, we support businesses in integrating custom EV charging solutions that align with their sustainability goals, from installation to long-term maintenance.

Optimising Your EV Charging Strategy

To make the most of your EV charging experience, consider these best practices:

  • Charge During Off-Peak Hours: Many energy providers offer lower rates at night, reducing costs.
  • Monitor Energy Usage: Use smart chargers and apps to track charging times and costs.
  • Extend Battery Life: Avoid frequently charging to 100% and try to maintain charge levels between 20-80%.
