Charging an electric car is a simple process that can change depending on the type of charger being used. Usually, every electric car purchased comes with a charging cable and plug suitable for the specific car and country you live in.

When charging at your home, the electricity used will simply be added to your next electricity bill. When using a charger in public, payment depends on your mobile network. More often than not, charging costs are added to a monthly bill based on a contract or a certain subscription. However, in some cases, payment can be made by card instantly like when filling with petrol/diesel.
Charging times are not the only new concept to get to grips with when you buy an Electrical Car. Another important consideration is the cost of charging. Depending on the location, electricity provider, and tariff, costs can vary greatly.
Whilst electricity prices vary from country to country, in the UK the average price per kWh is roughly 30 pence. Based on these prices, an electric car with a 50 kWh battery, which is the standard battery size of a Tesla would cost around £14.00 to charge from 0% to 100% at home. Public charging stations, are often more expensive, especially with the raise in energy prices. So a full charge using them will cost more.
The charging speed for any electrical vehicle depends on a variety of factors such as the battery size, the car and chargers’ charging capacity, and even the weather.
One of the main determinants of charging time is an electric car’s battery size. much like a petrol car, the size of the engine depends on how much fuel is needed, therefore the bigger the battery the longer it takes to charge.
For EV Chargers used in residential areas, that are typically level 1 or level 2 chargers, the most maintenance you’ll typically need is an occasional check for any damage to the cables and plug socket. This ensures they are in full working order.
These chargers are durable and designed to last for years before they require a service.
If you experience any problems with your charging station, don’t hesitate to contact Electrical Energy on 01772 439 036 OR email us at info@electricalenergy.co.uk
