Understanding the components of your investment in a Home EV Charger
Understanding exactly what you’re getting for your money is key. This is why we like to lay our all areas involved in Home EV Charger installations, and ensure our prospective and current customers understand everything fully.
Think of your investment in a home ev charger not just as a ‘product’, but as your personal refueling station – any initial outlay is very quickly offset by dramatic long-term savings – not to mention, unparalelled convenience!
Your own fuel station – at home!
Stop treating charging as a ‘chore’ – home chargers transform this into a background task, simpler than charging your phone.
Wake up to a full tank, reality: No need to visit petrol stations as much with an EV. The ultimate convenience is plugging in when you get home, and unplugging a fully-charged car the next morning!
Serious Financial Savings – Slash Fuel Costs!
Electricity is significantly cheaper than petrol or diesel – and a home charger unlocks the cheapest possible rate.
Cost Per Mile Victory; On specialist EV tariffs, with the likes of Octopus, you can slash your cost per mile to just 2-3p. This is the same financial logic that drives businesses to electrify their fleets, transforming major ops costs into manageable expenses.
Smart Technology – Your Home’s Mini Energy Station
Modern EV chargers are intelligent devices that optimise your energy usage and prepare your home for the future. Schedule charging for cheap rates, and pre-heat your car using grid power. Solar Integration & Load Balancing allows you to use free solar energy….energy optimisation is a core principle for maximising the ROI of commercial solar installations at sites like warehouses and retail parks.
Home EV Charger Convenience
Full Tank Every Morning!
Eliminate the need for dedicated trips to public charging stations. A 7KW home EV Charger provides complete overnight charge for most vehicles, ensuring you start every day with maximum range. This model is called ‘set-and-forget’, and is the ultimate for personal convenience – turning time-consuming errands into seamless, background tasks.
Superiority over the ‘3-pin’ ‘Granny Cable’
Using standard domestic sockets is a safety compromise and practical limitation. Dedicated, IP65, weatherproof EV Chargepoints offer charging speeds of up to 5 times faster (25-40 miles of range per hour vs. 2-3 miles)…designed for continuous outdoor use – all installed, by Hi EV, with appropriate outdoor-rated cables and circuitry. This robust and fit-for-purpose approach is standard in all of our installations – from single domestic ev chargers, to multi-unit commercial ev charging hubs.
Remote Management & Controls
Most of the modern Smart EV chargers come with dedicated apps. This allows you to schedule charging during off-peak energy rates, monitor consumption, and start or stop sessions remotely. This high-level of control and detail is the foundation of sophisticated charging station management systems (CPMS) that we implement for business/commercial clients – controlling the chargers themselves, dynamic pricing, and detailed usage reporting. You get the same, from Hi EV Home installations.

Significant Financial Savings & Smart Energy Management
Drastically lower your cost-per-mile in comparison to petrol/diesel. This is probably the most compelling financial benefit. Even on standard electricity tariffs, the cost per mile for an EV is significantly lower. With a dedicated charger, enabling access to specialist EV electricity tariffs (e.g. Octopus Go, Intelligent Flux, Scottish Power, E.ON etc.), you can charge overnight at rates as low as 7.5p/kWh…or less! Reducing your cost per mile to just 2-3p. This is the domestic equivalent of the massive fuel cost savings that drive electrification of commercial fleets.
Solar PV Integration for ‘Free Mileage’; If you have solar panels, compatible smart chargers can be configured to prioritise using your self-generated solar power to charge your car. This ultimatekly allows you to drive on free, 100% renewable energy, further slashing your running costs. This principle of ‘behind-the-meter’ energy optimisation is a main driver of ROI for our commercial clients with onsite solar.
Government Grants, as far as domestic grants go, have ended for mosty homeowners – however, the EV Chargepoint Grant remains available**** for those in flats or rental properties, administered through OZEV-approved installers, like Hi EV. Our expertise in navigating these schemes is equally critical for businesses accessing grants like the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS).
