Frequently Asked EV Charging Installation Questions in Calderstones
Most Calderstones homes have single phase 230V supplies meaning the maximum power of chargers suitable are 7kw/32amps. Chargers are supplied by a 6mm cable wired directly from your fuse box/consumer unit and must be on their own dedicated circuit.
Depending on the condition and capacity of your fuse box/consumer unit an additional unit may need to be installed to supply the electric vehicle circuit.
Suppliers now offer great EV tariffs with money saving incentives: scheduled charging enables the car to be plugged in and set to charge between pre-set times like midnight and 7am to charge when the EV tariff gives the lowest price of electricity. This requires a smart meter to be fitted by your Calderstones supplier.
A full electric Hyundai Ioniq costs much less to run than an equivalent petrol or diesel saloon, at around £4.80 to charge from empty to full, with a range of 193 miles, costing only 2.94 p per mile (based on 14p/kWh tariff).

Some clients in Calderstones, however prefer to have untethered – socket only – as they find the coiled leads untidy when not in use.
