How long will it take to charge my car?

To calculate the charge time: Battery size (kWh) ÷ Charger power (kW) = Charging time (hours). For example, a 60kWh battery charged at home with a 7kW charger, such as the Hypervolt 3.0, takes about 8.5 hours to charge from 0-100%. Using a 150kW rapid public charger, like a Tesla Supercharger, most EVs can reach 80% in around 30 minutes.

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). For a 60kWh battery: At home using a 10p/kWh tariff (e.g. OVO Energy's 'Charge Anytime'), a full charge costs £6. At a public rapid charger averaging 70p/kWh, charging to 80% costs around £33.60.

Should I charge my car every night?

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

Can I charge my EV with solar panels?

Yes! Charging with solar panels is free, convenient, and environmentally friendly. Hypervolt has streamlined the solar charging process.

Do different EVs require different chargers?

All chargers can technically charge any EV, but you must check for the correct connector type compatible with your vehicle.

What are the different connector types?

The main connector types are Type 2 and Combined Charging System (CCS). All EVs on sale today have a Type 2 plug, and most also come with a CCS connector.

How long will it take to install my EV charger?

Standard installations typically take 2–3 hours.

How much does an EV home-charge point cost?

Through our partnership with Hypervolt, you can save up to £500 on a premium, fully-installed 7kW smart home charger via salary sacrifice.
