Go Electric
Concerns about the environment and soaring oil prices have sparked interest in electric vehicles (EVs) for millions of people. If you’re considering making the switch to an EV, you’ll need a reliable charging solution.

Understanding
There are three main types of EV charging points: rapid, fast, and slow. Rapid chargers are ideal for quick top-ups during long journeys and are commonly found at motorway services. Fast chargers are suitable for home and workplace use, offering a convenient way to charge vehicles within a few hours. Slow chargers, also known as trickle chargers, are typically reserved for emergency charging situations and utilize standard 13A plug sockets.
Choosing the Right Plug/Connector
When it comes to plugs, there are two main types: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 2 plugs are the most common and are standard in new vehicles. Both plug types can handle up to 32A charging, but Type 2 plugs offer the added benefit of three-phase charging for faster charging options in certain installations.
