EV Charging Points to be Installed at Home and Offices; Is It Enough?

According to The Telegraph, electric vehicle charging points are to be installed at homes and offices across the country as we charge forwards into a green future. As positive as this incentive is, the Government and major companies are still missing a trick. EV charger installation is highly disruptive and expensive, and can be impossible in some areas. The infrastructure can also become overwhelmed with the sheer number of chargers connected, leading to shortages and power cuts. With portable car chargers, this isn’t a problem…

Here at Elite Vehicle Charging, we’re excited to see the country take those necessary steps to lower its overall carbon footprint, but there are much cheaper, more practical ways we can achieve it. Our portable vehicle charging solutions can help destinations and events alike provide charge for their visitors without connecting to the grid and causing disruption. Battery storage chargers are ideal for offices, but EV charger installation is still being promoted. As positive as this change is, it isn’t all that practical for some…

The Infrastructure Problem

In an article written by The Telegraph, electric car charging points are to be installed at homes and offices across the country, with smart technology to prevent the grid from becoming overwhelmed. This technology allows the charger to meet the needs of the driver without pumping out more energy than necessary. This technology, plus the installation and maintenance of the chargers, can be incredibly expensive and time consuming, which isn’t ideal for businesses. Although these chargers may be able to withstand power cuts, there’s still a lot to consider when you opt for installation…

Battery storage chargers can be deployed anywhere, with no requirement to connect to the grid. They can even support the existing infrastructure, providing a more cost-effective solution. Here at Elite Vehicle Charging, we even provide a concierge service to ensure the chargers are working at an optimal condition. Portable charging stations won’t cause as much disruption as installation, and they’re the perfect choice for annual events as they don’t leave a legacy. To avoid overwhelming the infrastructure, battery storage chargers are the better option, but not enough people know about the benefits…

The Benefits of Portable Charging

As previously mentioned, portable chargers are a much more cost-effective option when compared to the installation of legacy chargers. Charging your car is getting easier in the UK, as more and more chargers are popping up, decreasing range anxiety. However, it can be hard to find an accessible charger in off-grid locations, which is where Zap-Map comes in handy for anxious drivers who need to plan their route. They won’t disrupt the landscape as they don’t need to be installed, providing a hassle-free deployment for businesses.

As more people opt for an electric vehicle, businesses need to adapt and accommodate the EV drivers they have employed. There’s only so much that home charging can achieve, and if they have to travel a long distance to work, a charging point could make all the difference. We can provide our chargers to destinations and workplaces alike, allowing you to attract more employees and retain the ones you already have.
