Frequently asked questions

How long will it take to charge my car?

To calculate the charge time: Battery size (kWh) ÷ Charger power (kW) = Charging time (hours)Let’s use a 60kWh battery as an example:

‍

At home: With a 7kW charger - such as the Hypervolt 3.0 - a charge from 0-100% takes 8.5 hours.

‍
Public charging: With a 150kW rapid charger - such as the Tesla Supercharger - most new EVs can charge up to 80% in around half an hour.

How much will it cost to charge my car?

To calculate the cost: Battery size x Tariff cost (pence per kWh) = Cost to charge (£s)Let’s use a 60kWh battery again as an example:


At home: Smart charging using an EV-friendly tariff is the cheapest way to charge. OVO Energy’s ‘Charge Anytime’ tariff is 10p/kWh, meaning a full charge costs only £6.

Public charging: Rapid charging at service stations is the most expensive way to charge. The average cost is 70p/kWh, meaning a charge to 80% would be £33.60.

Should I charge my car every night?

It isn’t necessary to charge your car every night, although most drivers like to keep their battery topped up to 80%.

Can I charge my EV with solar panels?

Yes! Using renewable energy produced at home is the most cost effective (aka. free), convenient and environmentally friendly way to recharge. Our friends at Hypervolt have streamlined this process.

Do different EVs require different chargers?

All chargers are technically able to provide a charge to an EV - however you first need to check whether they have the correct connector type for your vehicle. See below.

What are the different connector types?

Type 2 and Combined Charging System (CCS). Every electric vehicle on sale today is equipped with a Type 2 plug, with the vast majority of cars also coming with a CCS, too.

How long will it take to install my EV charger?

Standard installations typically only take between 2-3 hours.

How much does an EV home-charge point cost?
