EV Charging Explained

Want to know more about charging your electric vehicles at your place of business or home?

Electric mobility and the popularity of electric passenger vehicles has been growing rapidly over the last decade and this trend doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.

However you measure it - EV Sales, EV’s on the roads, government EV mandates, EVs as a percentage of all vehicle sales, or simply vehicle manufactures making electric mobility pledges - its undeniable that the future is electric and the age of internal combustion engines is coming to an end.

Whether you’re in the market for your first electric car, or you are considering upgrading, its only logical that you’re comparing your options.  One of the major differences between owning an EV and a traditional vehicle with an internal combusion engine, is how you fill your proverbial tank.  Many find switching from puting fuel in a tank to charging a battery with electricity the scariest transition; what if you run out in the middle of nowhere?

But, in reality, EV range anxiety has as much to do with psychology as it does with the range of electric cars (or the availability of charging points).

Did you know that the majority of current EV drivers don’t encounter any problems at all when it comes to charging their vehicle? In fact, being able to charge your battery is one of the best things about driving an electric car.

It might sound obvious, but with a fossil-fuel powered vehicle, you can pretty much only fill up your tank at a petrol station.  With an electric car however, you can charge your vehicle pretty much anywhere; at home, at the office at a restaurants, whilst doing your shopping, whilst parked on the street, or you can top-off your car’s battery at a (no-longer aptly named) petrol station.

Generally speaking, wherever you can park your car is a potential charging location.  So, you can imagine the places you can charge your car are as diverse as today’s available EV models.

As the world is shifting towards electric mobility, the need for a suitable charging infrastructure network has never been more prevalent.  As such, governments and cities across the globe are creating legislation and incentifying the placement of charging points, while more and more businesses are tapping into this new market.
