Are you buying an electric vehicle? Did you know there is government funding for landlords, flat owners and rental tenants, subject to criteria? Contact us for advice and a quote to fit your EV charge point.

Electric vehicles also offer you an opportunity that a petrol or diesel car doesn’t – to refuel at home. Typically, charging from home will be cheaper than on-street or public EV charging options. What’s more, if you have a solar panel system, your costs will be further reduced.

Funding:

Did you know you can also offset your EV charger costs by renting out your charger to your neighbours? You can do this by either a private arrangement or through peer-to-peer charging companies, who will charge a subscription fee or commission.
