Home charging installation

Work place charging installation

The same amount of attention and care is carried out throughout the work place installation process. However, before any price can be given for commercial charge point projects, a VOLT CPI engineer will need to assess the area. Price will be depending on power sources, how many charging points are needed and the size of the area that’s to be covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take to charge my car?

This depends on the charger and type of EV you have and the power supply feeding the charge point. For a home charger this depends on the maximum supply that is achievable to power the charger, ideally 32 amps to enable 22kW charging capability. Most car manufacturers can tell you this from their own information.

How much does it cost to charge my vehicle?

This is totally dependent on the vehicle, the charger and your electric tariff.

Why can’t I just fit a charge point myself?

Technically you can, it would be entirely at your own risk. For safety and security we would strongly not recommend this is any way. Electricity is obviously dangerous and EV charge points are specifically designed for purpose, to be fitted by qualified installers. You would also not be eligible for any OZEV grants available if you were to fit it yourself.
