What we do

Harness renewable energy to power and heat our clients’ homes and contribute to a carbon-neutral economy.

Financial Savings:

Installing an electric vehicle (EV) charger at home can translate into significant financial savings in the long term. Traditional fuel costs are often unpredictable and generally trend upwards over time. By contrast, the cost of electricity, while also subject to fluctuations, is generally more stable and considerably cheaper on a per-mile basis.

These savings can be further maximized if you can charge your EV during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower.

We have a cost calculator below to find the savings you could achieve by calling Southwest Solar Solutions today!

Convenience and Flexibility:

Having an EV charger at home provides unparalleled convenience. It eliminates the need to visit gas stations or public charging stations, which can often be occupied or out of service.

You can simply plug in your vehicle at the end of the day and wake up to a fully charged car. Our fast turnaround time of 14 days from initial contact to installation means you can start enjoying this convenience very quickly.

Tailored Solutions:

We understand that every homeowner and EV owner has unique needs. To cater to these, we offer a wide variety of EV chargers that will suit different vehicle types and charging requirements.

This ensures you get the most efficient and effective solution, whether you have a standard EV, a long-range EV, or a plug-in hybrid.

This offering tied in with our Battery storage solutions and our customised Solar panel systems can save you literally £1000’s every year all through one phone call or enquiry email to us!

EV Charger FAQs

What is an electric vehicle charger?2023-05-31T16:27:42+01:00

An electric vehicle charger, also known as an EV charger or electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), is a device that supplies electric power to charge the battery of an electric vehicle. It is designed to safely and efficiently transfer electricity from a power source to the vehicle’s battery.

How does an electric vehicle charger work?2023-05-31T16:27:15+01:00

An electric vehicle charger connects to a power source, such as a residential or commercial electrical outlet, or a dedicated charging station. It delivers electric power to the vehicle’s onboard charger, which then converts the AC (alternating current) power into DC (direct current) power to charge the vehicle’s battery.

What types of electric vehicle chargers are available?2023-05-31T16:26:49+01:00

There are different types of electric vehicle chargers, including:

  • Level 1 Chargers: These chargers typically use a standard household electrical outlet (120 volts AC) and provide a slow charging rate. They are commonly used for overnight charging.
  • Level 2 Chargers: These chargers require a dedicated circuit and a higher-voltage power source (usually 240 volts AC). They provide faster charging compared to Level 1 chargers and are commonly found in residential, workplace, and public charging stations.
  • DC Fast Chargers (Level 3 Chargers): These high-powered chargers deliver DC power directly to the vehicle’s battery, bypassing the onboard charger. They offer the fastest charging speeds and are typically found in public charging stations along highways or in commercial areas.
How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle?2023-05-31T16:26:16+01:00

The charging time for an electric vehicle depends on several factors, including the battery size, charger type, charging capacity, and the vehicle’s charging capabilities. Level 1 chargers typically take the longest, often requiring overnight charging. Level 2 chargers are faster and can charge a vehicle in a few hours. DC Fast Chargers provide rapid charging, allowing a significant charge in as little as 30 minutes.

Can electric vehicle chargers be used for multiple vehicle brands?2023-05-31T16:25:41+01:00

Yes, electric vehicle chargers are designed to be compatible with multiple vehicle brands. The charging connectors and standards are standardised to ensure interoperability between different electric vehicles.
