Electric vehicle charging: How to make it more convenient
As consumers search for options to reduce their carbon footprints, the demand for electric vehicles has gone up. According to the International Energy Agency, around 18% of vehicles sold in 2023 were electric, a 4% increase from 2022 and a 16% increase from 2022. As the market matures consumers are moving towards the efficiency of home charge points and accessing public charging stations.
The innovation of companies like Octopus Energy, E.ON Next, Halfords, and Pod Point Home, means homeowners now have access to certified charging points at home that offer affordable prices, access to faster speed charging, eco-friendly solar panel-powered charging options, and smart features. Additionally, homeowners can increase their property value by installing electric vehicle charging points. They can also benefit from tax exemptions for charging company cars at home and access to government grants.
For homeowners without access to a charging point at their property, you won’t have the convenience of charging at home. Creating off-road parking for your property can be complex but it doesn’t have to be. At Alencia Designs we’ve broken down the application process into simpler steps. We can support you by researching the validation requirements of the local authority, conducting a survey, preparing the required documents and submitting your application. Once your application has been approved, you can start looking into the type of electrical charging point based on compatibility, brand and features.
