We now install EV charging points and are able to offer three makes. They are Zappi, EO and Tesla (as well as Tesla Powerwall Batteries) although the Tesla charging point is not OLEV compliant whereas both of the others are approved by OLEV to enable you to claim the £500 grant towards installation.
In order to claim the grant the charge point must use innovative ‘smart’ technology which means that it must be able to be remotely accessed, and capable of reacting to a signal. Smart charging can also help reduce the high peaks of electricity demands, and minimise the cost of electric vehicle charging to the grid by encouraging off-peak charging, and making use of Solar energy if available on site.
