Your EV Charging Hub for Homes, Businesses and Installers
Electric vehicles (EVs) are the future! With the government announcing a ban on the sale of all new petrol and diesel cars by 2030*, the ongoing improvement in EV charging infrastructure, and continual reduction in the associated costs of electric car ownership, there’s never been a better time to make the change. An electric car is better for the environment and often significantly cheaper to run. With their increased popularity, many people are installing electric car chargers at their homes or places of business. *Source BBC

For most EV owners, installing a dedicated electric car charger at home or at work offers the greatest convenience. It gives you full control over when and how you charge, avoiding the risk of arriving at a public charge point only to find it already in use. Over time, the savings from controlled home charging can help offset the initial cost of installation.
Home users in particular benefit from the ability to charge during off-peak hours when electricity prices are lowest. Many smart chargers, such as those from Zappi, also allow users to power their vehicles using energy generated by home solar PV or wind systems. This makes it possible to drive using 100 percent renewable energy, reducing your carbon footprint even further.
