Go Electric
Concerns about the environment and soaring oil prices have sparked interest in electric vehicles (EVs) for millions of people. If you’re considering making the switch to an EV, you’ll need a reliable charging solution.
At Grant Keddle Electrical, we specialise in the installation of EV charging points, with a primary focus on the innovative Zappi range for both residential and commercial properties.
Can You Install an EV Charging Point Anywhere?
Before diving into EV charging point installation, there are considerations to keep in mind. Once you’re ready, Grant will conduct a free survey of your property to determine the best options tailored to your needs. Reach out to us via phone or email to learn more.
Understanding
There are three main types of EV charging points: rapid, fast, and slow. Rapid chargers are ideal for quick top-ups during long journeys and are commonly found at motorway services. Fast chargers are suitable for home and workplace use, offering a convenient way to charge vehicles within a few hours. Slow chargers, also known as trickle chargers, are typically reserved for emergency charging situations and utilize standard 13A plug sockets.
Choosing the Right Plug/Connector
When it comes to plugs, there are two main types: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 2 plugs are the most common and are standard in new vehicles. Both plug types can handle up to 32A charging, but Type 2 plugs offer the added benefit of three-phase charging for faster charging options in certain installations.

He also replaced the our outside lighting. 2 jobs well done.Rod Varlow2023-09-07Super chap, highly recommended, very professional. I needed the electric fence in my horses’ paddocks checking as I was sure it was broken but didn’t want to test it myself (ouch!). Grant was due to visit on Friday and was actually able to get to me a day earlier - very efficient. Grant was extremely thorough and found the problem quickly as well as offering a perfectly good solution. Most notably, Grant must be THE most polite tradesman I’ve ever met! Thoroughly pleasant chap all round.D I2023-07-27Highly professional, thorough and reliable service from Grant. We would highly recommend him. Alex JAlex James2023-07-19
