Project EV
OLEV Approved car charging station

A home electric vehicle (EV) charger puts convenience on your doorstep – literally. But did you know that installing a home EV charging station can have other benefits too?

One key benefit is that having  an EV charger actually adds value to your property, in much the same way as a driveway or garage does, but with the added benefit of it being enhanced with the technology of the future in a home car charging station.

This makes your house more attractive to buyers, and adds to the sale value of your house.

There are efficiency and cost benefits that come with having state of the art technology right outside your door (plus the ability to monitor everything via an app from the warmth of indoors), saving money as well as the environment.

Electric vehicle users can receive an EV charging grant from OLEV to install a home charger for their plug-in vehicle through the Electric Vehicle Home Charge Scheme. This provides a grant of up to 75% of the eligible costs of charge point installation* for the registered keeper, lessee or nominated primary user of a new or second-hand eligible electric vehicle.

To receive funding or grant aid, an OLEV accredited supplier must be used. Project EV are fully OLEV accredited meaning you can take advantage of any available grants.

*capped at £350, Inc. VAT

The app allows you to keep an eye on the charging inventory list for one or multiple vehicles registered, off-peak timed charging and power flow management.

The UK government has announced its intention to become a net-zero emissions economy by 2050, and we all  have a  part to play to achieve this goal. They have also brought forward a ban on the sale of cars and vans powered entirely by petrol and diesel by five years, from 2035 to 2030 so the time to consider electric vehicles is now. While traditional cars guzzle petrol or diesel made from fossil fuels and emit vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere EV’s are battery-powered, so no harmful emissions are produced.

While electric vehicles are not emission-free, on average EV’s emit three times less carbon dioxide than petrol or diesel cars. This statistic takes into account the impact of driving, electricity generation used to power the EV and the manufacturing production.
