Why Install a Dedicated Home EV Charger?

A 3-pin plug charges your EV at 2.3kW — adding just 8 miles per hour. That means a full charge from empty can take 20+ hours. A dedicated 7.4kW home charger adds 30 miles per hour, completing a full charge overnight in 5–6 hours.

Beyond speed, dedicated chargers are weatherproof, include surge protection, and integrate with smart energy tariffs like Intelligent Octopus — which charges your car automatically when electricity costs as little as 7p/kWh between 11pm and 5am.

For solar panel owners, a smart charger like the Myenergi Zappi diverts excess solar generation directly into your EV instead of exporting it to the grid at 5–15p/kWh. During Yorkshire summers, many YEERS customers charge their cars entirely for free.

Solar + EV Charging: The Ultimate Combination

Pairing a home solar panel system with a smart EV charger is the most cost-effective way to run an electric car in Yorkshire. Excess solar generation — typically 40–60% of output during summer months — is redirected to charge your vehicle automatically when the Zappi detects surplus power.

A typical 4kW solar array in Yorkshire generates 3,400–3,800 kWh per year. A typical EV owner uses around 2,500 kWh annually for driving. In peak summer months, a substantial proportion of that charging can be completely free.

Adding a battery storage system completes the picture: capture daytime solar that your EV hasn't used and deploy it for home use or top up the car during evening hours, maximising self-consumption and further reducing grid dependency.

Workplace EV Charging

The Government's Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) provides up to £350 per socket (maximum 40 sockets) for businesses, charities, and small accommodation providers installing EV charge points. As OZEV-approved installers, YEERS handles all grant applications on your behalf.

Commercial EV charging is now a competitive necessity — particularly for Hull's logistics and manufacturing sectors, where fleet electrification is accelerating. We install load-balanced systems that protect your building's supply, with billing management software to track usage and charge employees or customers.
