The cost of installing an electric vehicle (EV) charger installation in the UK can be calculated based on several factors. These include:

Type of charger: The cost of installation will depend on the type of charger you choose. There are various types of EV chargers available in the UK, ranging from slow chargers to ultra-rapid ones. Faster chargers typically come at a higher cost.

Location and accessibility: The location of the charger will also impact the cost.

Electrical connectivity: The existing electrical connection at your site may need to be upgraded to accommodate the increased electrical demand of EV chargers. This could increase the cost of installation.

Labour costs: The cost of labour will impact the overall cost of the installation. The amount of time required for installation will depend on the complexity of the installation.

To get an accurate estimate of the cost installing EVs, contact Evolo. We will be able to provide an estimate based on the specific requirements of your installation, as well as advise you on any grant options that may be available to help reduce the cost.

1. Use the Evolo app, an RFID card, or a contactless credit/ debit card (at DC chargers only) to identify yourself to the station.

2. Plug in your vehicle to the charge station. Some stations come with built-in cables; in which case you can plug that directly into your car.

3. Charge. You can begin this through the Evolo app. You should see confirmation that charging has started through your vehicle’s display as well as the charger’s indicator lights.

4. End the charging session. You can do this via the Evolo app, or by tapping your RFID card, or contactless debit/ credit card (at DC chargers only) to the station.

In the UK, the size of cable required for an EV charger installation will depend on several factors, including the power rating of the charger, the distance between the charger and the distribution board, and the type of cable being used.

For a typical 7 kW or 22 kW EV charger, a Type 2 connector is commonly used. However, the exact cable size required will depend on the distance between the EV charger and the car being charged.

It is important to note that all electrical installations in the UK must comply with the British Standard BS 7671 Wiring Regulations, and all work must be carried out by a qualified electrician who is registered with a government-approved scheme, such as NICEIC or ELECSA.

A tethered EV cable is a cable that is permanently attached to an EV charging point. This means that the cable is always available and does not need to be brought out separately by the EV driver. Tethered EV cables are commonly found in public charging stations, and they are often available in different lengths to accommodate different parking arrangements.

An untethered EV cable is a cable that is not permanently attached to the charging station or EV charging point. Instead, the cable is connected to the charging station through a socket or port, and the EV driver needs to bring out the cable and plug it into their vehicle. Untethered EV cables are commonly used in home charging setups and are typically sold separately from the charging station.

The main difference between tethered and untethered EV cables is whether the cable is permanently attached to the charging station or not.

Charging your electric car has never been easier with a charger installed by Evolo. Just plug in and let the charger do the rest. As the battery charges, you can feel reassured, knowing that you're taking a step towards a more sustainable future.

The typical time to charge an electric car can take as little as 30 minutes or as long as 12 hours. This depends on the size of your vehicle's battery and the speed of the charging point.
