Get in touch for a personalised quote.

how much can I expect to earn in a session?

The space needed varies based on the charger type and quantity, but generally, a charger fits in a regular parking spot. We recommend a free site survey to ensure the best configuration for your business. Our installers will provide expert advice and a customised layout.

can I set a different price for staff?

Yes! Our app's tiered pricing option allows you to offer discounted charging rates to specific users, like staff or loyal customers.

are there any grants for installing EV chargers?

You may be eligible for government grants such as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) or other incentives.

how much space is required for the chargers?

The charger can be fitted wherever there is a parking space. They can be fitted on the wall or on a pedestal, depending on your space requirements.

how fast do the chargers charge a car?

With a 7kW charger, you can expect your users to fully charge their car between 3-5 hours depending on their car. This is what we call "destination charging", where drivers park and charge their car for a few hours while they go for a meal, play a game of golf, or overnight while they stay at your accommodation business.

what happens if there is a technical issue?

We provide 24/7 support for technical issues via our helpline - this is provide on the signage that comes with the charger.Simple issues can often be resolved by restarting the unit or checking the power supply.
