The Future of Electric Vehicle Charging with Christchurch Electrical

How To Power Your Journey: EV Charging Options Available

1. Portable Three-Pin Charging Cable:

Ideal for convenience and flexibility, the portable three-pin charging cable is a versatile solution for EV owners. With a standard household plug, you can charge your vehicle using a regular power outlet. While this option is convenient for occasional charging, it may take longer to fully charge your EV compared to other options.

2. Wall Charger:

For a more permanent and faster charging solution at home, consider a wall charger. Christchurch Electrical specialises in the installation of wall chargers, providing a dedicated and efficient charging point for your EV. Charging at home comes with several advantages, such as utilising night rate electricity for cost savings and the convenience of overnight charging, which puts less stress on your EV battery, extending its lifespan.

3. Public Charger:

When you're on the go, public chargers are essential for keeping your EV powered. Christchurch Electrical can also assist with the installation of public chargers for businesses and public spaces. It's important to note the difference between AC (Alternating Current) slow chargers and DC (Direct Current) fast chargers.

• AC - Slow Charger: Suitable for overnight charging, AC chargers deliver a steady flow of power to your EV. This method is gentler on the battery and is often used for residential charging.
• DC Fast Charger: Designed for quick top-ups on the road, DC fast chargers provide a rapid charge to your EV. While efficient, frequent use of fast chargers may impact the longevity of the battery.
