Electic Vehicle Charge Points

Home Charging, Work Place Charging, Fleet Charging And Public Charging

Home Charging

If you are an Electric Vehicle owner or considering it, we would highly recommend that you install an electric vehicle charge point at home. This gives you various options to charge and allows you to charge your vehicle at reduced energy rates therefore saving you money.

The Zappi can work alongside a Solar PV install or stand-alone.

Eco Charging

The eco charge mode is a mixture of both green energy and energy imported from the grid. eco mode minimises the use of grid power, generally taking advantage of cheaper rates overnight, but can also charge using 100% green energy. Essentially giving you the ability to charge up your car for free! The charging power is continuously adjusted in response to changes in generation or power being used elsewhere in the home.

If the surplus generation drops below 1.4kWh some power will be drawn from the grid to top it back up.

Eco+ Charging

Eco+ charging is very similar to eco charging in that it can utilise power from the grid or your own power source. However, the charge power is continuously adjusted in response to changes in generation or power consumption elsewhere in the home. Your electric car charging will pause if there is too much imported power, continuing only when there is surplus free power available.

Fast Charging

In fast mode, your vehicle will be charged at maximum power. This power can come from a renewable energy source or simply from the grid. The cost of charging an electric car also depends on numerous factors including mode and the car itself.

If you don’t have solar panels or wind generation, zappi will charge just like an ordinary Mode 3 charging point.

By using the Myenergi app you will be able to monitor your system anytime during the day or night.

Work Place Charging

EV chargers outside your business enable staff and customers to charge their cars whilst at your business, these chargers can be free to use (at your expense) or chargeable to the user.

The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) have a Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) administered by the DVLA, which can help towards the total install costs of installing Electric Vehicle Charge Points. The scheme is open to businesses, charities and public sector organisations that meet specific criteria.

To find out more and if you are eligible please have a look here Workplace Charging Scheme – GOV-UK Find a grant (find-government-grants.service.gov.uk)

Fleet Charging

As your business transitions it’s fleet from fossil fuels to EV’s, fleet charging provides the opportunity for overnight charging as well as intra-day charging at faster charging speeds.

If you are interested in this option, have a look at the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Grant here Electric vehicle infrastructure grant for staff and fleets – GOV-UK Find a grant (find-government-grants.service.gov.uk)

Public Charging

Silverstone Green Energy have been installing and operating their own bi-lingual Electric Vehicle charging Network since 2018. We have installed many electric vehicle charging points for public use across Wales and the UK under the Dragon Charging Network. www.dragoncharging.co.uk

With our own in-house installation team, you can be assured of the highest quality.
