FAQ's - EV Charging

Do you own an electric car or a plug-in hybrid? Getting an EV charger for your home can save you money and help the environment. Typically, charging an EV costs half as much as filling up a petrol car. You can power it with clean solar energy, too!

If you live in York, you may be eligible for a government grant to help pay for your EV charger. Our advisers can help you find the best EV charger for your home. They can also connect you with accredited suppliers to get it installed.

How does a home EV charger work?


A home EV charger is perfect if you have an electric car or a plug-in hybrid. It lets you charge your car’s battery at home, so you don’t have to go to a public charging station.


Here’s how it works:


  • Charge at home: You can plug in your car and charge it whenever you need it.

  • Save money: Charge your car when electricity is cheaper, usually at night. This can cost about half as much as filling up a petrol or diesel car.

  • Help the planet: Electric cars are better for the environment since they have zero tailpipe emissions. You can even run your EV charger with clean solar power.


You can choose from slow, fast, or rapid chargers depending on how quickly you want to charge your car.


Do you have a business with lots of electric cars? Installing EV chargers at work can help you save on running costs and reduce your tax bills.

What does an EV charger look like and where does it fit in your house?

EV chargers are small boxes that fit to the outside wall of your home, usually near where you park your car.


There is a charging cable attached to the box that plugs into your vehicle.


The size of a charger depends on its charging power.


  • Slow chargers are about the size of a book.

  • Fast chargers are about the size of a tablet.

  • Rapid chargers are about the size of a fridge.


EV chargers connect to your home’s electricity from the outside, so they don’t take up any space inside your home.
