2. ...EV owners are needlessly risking their health.
Published 30th May 2019
Consumer protection charity Electrical Safety First found that in a survey of 1,500 plug-in EV car owners of those respondents who reported charging their cars from home, three-quarters would do so using multiple extension leads plugged into one another to reach their car.
More than half admit risking a fire by "daisy chaining" extension leads
...EV owners are needlessly risking their health.
Installation of a dedicated EV charge point at home is an essential part of the “new EV driver experience”
So why don’t EV drivers install a charge point home?

Eco-smart EV charger.
Charge your EV with your PV
A lot of EV drivers have bought EV’s because they are green, so may already have PV panels installed.

4. ECO-smart charging Works like a conventional charger if required

Works like a conventional charger if required
Timed charging – for EV / economy tariffs
“PV ready”
Smart – for future “demand side services” kW
So how does PV integration help with grid integration of EV’s?
ECO+ charging mode - set to use only 100% solar energy.
Not causing import – nothing coming in from the grid.
Energy is not exported – not wasted.
Reduce grid import
Reduce local voltage rise
Reduce effect of clouds causing power and voltage swings

5. Safety EV charge points are usually installed outside
Dedicated charge point with a 32A cable will charge the car faster than using a standard socket (up to 7kW on a single phase domestic supply1)
The charge point needs to be safe – weather proof, robust and with the right electrical protection
New rules in the Wiring Regulations (18th Edition - BS7670) require additional protection
Additional RCD
Protection against a “lost neutral conductor” – for most charge points this requires an earth rod
Both included in Zappi – simple and quick to install
1) Depends on vehicle and battery “state of charge”

6. Government Grants
The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) provide grants for chargepoints at home under the EV Homecharge Scheme
Covers up to 75% of the total cost of the installation
Maximum grant £500 (including VAT) per eligible vehicle
