The range of your vehicle after a full charge will vary according to the capacity of its lithium battery, and you should check the manufacturer’s specifications for this figure. Battery range figures are often determined in ‘ideal’ conditions, so it’s also good to check online customer reviews to compare the manufacturer’s figures with the experience of customers.

The charging point is the device installed at your home or place of work which provides a power point for your charging. At home the charging point is often mounted on an external wall. At your place of work it’s likely to be a pavement mounted pedestal or bollard unit at the end of a parking bay dedicated to electric vehicles. A lead comes from the charging point and attaches to your vehicle. The charger is built into your electric vehicle. It takes the power supply and converts it to an acceptable power level to charge the vehicle battery.

The government provides significant subsidies for business and personal customers to purchase and instal electric vehicle charging points. EVcharges is approved by the government’s Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) which enables us to claim the Electric Vehicle Home Charge Grant (EVHS) or the Workplace Charging Grant (WCS) on behalf of our customers. https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-grants-for-low-emission-vehicles.
