EV ownership in the UK is on the increase, and our EV charging infrastructure is steadily improving, making it easier for EV drivers to charge their vehicles when travelling around the country.

Fuel card companies are now offering EV charging as an option, usually on a hybrid fuel card. You can also opt to install Business Home Charging which allows drivers to charge their company EVs at home.

Electric Charge Points

Electric car charging points work by providing electricity to recharge the batteries of EVs. In the UK, there are three main types of chargers, each categorised by their power output, which determines how quickly they can charge an EV. Here's an overview of each type:

Rapid Chargers

Rapid chargers are the fastest type of EV chargers available. They can deliver a high power output, significantly reducing charging time.

  • Power Output - Typically 43 kW (AC), 50 kW (DC), and can go up to 350 kW.
  • Charging Time - Can charge an EV to 80% in 20-40 minutes.
  • Connectors - CHAdeMO, CCS, and Type 2 connectors.
  • Usage - Ideal for quick top-ups during long journeys, often found at motorway service stations and major roads.

Fast Chargers

Fast chargers provide a balance between speed and accessibility, making them suitable for regular use.

  • Power Output - Usually between 7 kW to 22 kW.
  • Charging Time - Typically charges an EV in 3-7 hours.
  • Connectors - Mostly use Type 2 connectors.
  • Usage - Commonly found in car parks, supermarkets, leisure centres, and workplaces, suitable for overnight charging or while the vehicle is parked for several hours.

Slow Chargers

Slow chargers are the most basic type, often used for home charging.

  • Power Output - Up to 3.6 kW.
  • Charging Time - Can take between 6-12 hours to fully charge an EV.
  • Connectors - Type 1 and Type 2 connectors, and standard 3-pin plug sockets.
  • Usage - Best for overnight charging at home or workplaces where the car can be left charging for an extended period.
