FAQs
Q. Do I need a dedicated home charging station?
Although you can charge your car via the 3 pin charger plug, it is extremely slow and you have less control then a smart charger which you can program to charge over night for example. 3 pin socket charging isn't’t suitable for prolonged periods of use, overheating of the socket could occur..
Q. How do I claim the grant?
isn't submit the grant application on your behalf after we have installed your point. Simply provide us with the required documents and we’ll sort the rest.
Q. What is tethered and untethered?
A tethered charger means there is a cable that is attached to the charger that cannot be removed.
An untethered charger means you use your own charging cable that plugs into the charge point and then your electric vehicle.

Some EV chargers are very clever and can divert your electricity to your vehicle before sending it back to the grid.
