Electric Vehicle Charging Options
There are various EV charging solutions categorised by power output and charging speed. Andy Godfrey Electricians supplies and installs both slow and fast chargers for home and business owners in Dorchester, Bournemouth, and the surrounding areas.
Per BS7671 Wiring Regulations, your new electric vehicle charging point must have a dedicated circuit, with the installation thoroughly tested by our NICEIC-accredited electricians.
Slow Chargers (3-6kW)
These home EV chargers operate on a standard 230V single-phase power supply. Depending on the size of your vehicle’s battery, a full charge can take between 6 and 12 hours, so they are ideal for overnight charging at home.
Fast Chargers (7-22 kW)
Our fast electric car chargers are much more powerful and can be installed at properties in Dorchester, Bournemouth or Weymouth, using a single-phase or three-phase power supply. At 7kW, a full charge will take approximately 3-4 hours. At 22kW, the time is reduced to 1-2 hours.
FAQs – Electric Vehicle Charging
Can I charge my car using a standard plug?
Yes, but only occasionally. It’s slow and not ideal for regular use. A dedicated EV charger is faster, safer, and more efficient.
How long does it take to charge an electric car?
With a proper home charger, most cars can be fully charged in 4–8 hours. A standard plug can take more than a full day to charge.
Do I need permission to install an EV charger?
Usually not. Most home installations don’t require planning permission, but listed or conservation properties might.
Can I get a grant for an EV charger?
Yes, some homeowners and landlords can apply for an OZEV grant to reduce installation costs. We can help you check eligibility.
Are EV chargers weatherproof?
Yes, all chargers we install are built for outdoor use and designed to handle rain, frost, and heat safely.
