EVs are more environmentally friendly than traditional petrol and diesel vehicles. By using an electric vehicle at home, you’re reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to a cleaner environment. However, you do need to charge your vehicle regularly to make sure the battery does not run out before you reach your destination.
There are currently around 17 public EV charging points locations in Orpington.
The best way to find Orpington charging points is to use a site such as Zap-Map, or download their iOS or Android mobile apps.
Charging points in and around Orpington are situated at the following locations. However, You should be aware that not all these points are a match for every electric car.
Before using public charging points, make sure you know the site’s regulations. An electric car driver from Orpington was fined £90 for staying too long at the Lidl car park in Ditton while using the pay-per-use charger. The store was closed, and the car park was empty, but the driver was fined because, unbeknown to him, the store has a maximum 90-minute car park limit, which he overstayed by 23 minutes.
There are many benefits of having an EV charger at home if you own an electric vehicle:
Convenience: One of the main benefits of having an EV charger at home is its convenience. You can charge your vehicle overnight, so you’ll always start your day with a full battery.
Cost savings: Charging your electric vehicle at home can be more cost-effective than using public charging stations. Home charging allows you to take advantage of cheaper electricity rates, and you can avoid paying for parking and charging fees at public stations, as well as fines for overstaying your welcome!
Time savings: Charging your electric vehicle at home can save you time. You don’t have to drive to a public charging station, wait in line, and wait for your vehicle to charge. Instead, you can charge your vehicle while you’re doing other things at home.
Increased home value: Adding an EV charger to your home can increase its value. More and more homebuyers are looking for homes with EV chargers as electric vehicles become more popular.
We are a leading supplier and installer of electric vehicle charging points in Orpington and the southeast. Home charging installation prices start at just £495.
We are approved for the installation of the following electric vehicle charging points:
We supply some of the most inexpensive EV chargers available. Furthermore, government funding is currently open for flat owners and people living in rented housing. The grant will pay up to 75% towards the cost of a new charger, up to £350. Business owners with parking spaces can also take advantage of a grant of up to £14,000 for 40 EV chargers under the Workplace Charging Point Scheme.
We can advise you on the grants you are eligible for, install your EV charger, and provide maintenance if necessary.
If you want to wave goodbye to soaring energy bills, look no further than our solar panels in Orpington systems. We supply quality PV solar panels and installations and complete maintenance services to guarantee you get the best out of your renewable solar energy system. We can help you lower your dependence on fossil fuels and save money on electric bills.
We have worked for over 12 years designing and installing solar systems in Orpington and the surrounding area. We supply a range of solar panels and PV systems, with or without battery storage, to take advantage of this freely available green energy.
Solar power is an emission-free way to power a property. Unlike fossil fuels, solar power doesn’t create harmful gases and pollutants.
Energy prices are rising yearly, making it increasingly difficult to keep our monthly costs low. Installing solar panels creates a sustainable way of living and helps save the planet for future generations.
An EESS or Electrical Energy Storage System integrates solar panels with battery storage. The energy generated during daylight hours is stored in the batteries to use later. Depending on your home’s orientation, the number of panels, and the battery capacity, an EESS can reduce grid electricity usage by up to 85%.
Another solution is to fit solar panels without storage. This is a cheaper alternative and satisfactory for a home with few occupants, who may work from home or are retired and use the main part of their electricity during the day. With solar panels only, you use the electricity as it is produced, so after dark, you will need to use grid electricity.
Solar panels are more affordable than they used to be due to the reduced cost of fabricating solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. If you care about the environment, solar panels will help meet the UK’s goal of decreasing CO2 emissions by 78% by 2035. Additionally, if your system produces enough power, you can generate income from the energy you do not need by selling it back to the national grid.
Current solar systems also have a longer lifespan than their older counterparts, meaning you will get value for money over time. A well-designed system needs very little upkeep; the only requirement is to replace the inverter after 25 years.
If you are looking for solar panels for your Orpington home or business, we offer a complete service, from a feasibility study to design, installation, and upkeep.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you want to discuss a possible solar PV installation, a battery energy storage system, or an EV charger. Whether you’re just considering getting solar, need experienced experts to look after an existing system, or want to learn more about an EESS, we can help.
