If you own an electric vehicle (EV) or are planning to get one, a home EV charger is a must-have. And if you want to maximize savings on electricity bills, adding a home battery storage system can take your energy efficiency to the next level.
But how do these systems work? What are the key benefits? And how can they help you save money and energy? Let’s break it all down!
Home EV Charger: The Ultimate Convenience for EV Owners :
A home EV charger allows you to charge your electric vehicle safely and efficiently at home, eliminating the need for costly public charging stations.
What You Need to Know About Home EV Chargers:
- Faster Charging – A dedicated 7kW or 11kW home charger can charge your EV up to 3x faster than a standard wall socket.
- Cost Savings with EV Tariffs – Charge overnight at low-cost off-peak rates, reducing electricity expenses.
- Smart Charging – Some chargers allow you to schedule charging times and monitor energy usage via mobile apps.
- Compatibility – Ensure the charger matches your EV’s charging capacity and connector type (Type 2 is the most common in the UK).
- Installation Professional installation is required, but government grants may be available to reduce costs.
How Much Can You Save with a Home EV Charger?
- Charging at a Public Station = £0.40 – £0.60 per kWh
- Charging at Home with an EV Tariff = £0.07 – £0.10 per kWh
Potential Savings per Year: Up to £800!
Home Battery Storage System: Unlock Maximum Energy Savings
A home battery system allows you to store electricity for later use, helping you optimize energy costs and increase self-sufficiency.
How a Home Battery System Works:
- Stores Cheap Off-Peak Energy – Charge the battery overnight using an EV tariff and use that low-cost power during peak hours.
- Maximizes Solar Power – If you have solar panels, store excess energy instead of sending it back to the grid for low payback rates.
- Reduces Reliance on the Grid – Use stored energy when electricity prices are high, cutting your energy bill.
- Provides Backup Power – Keep your home powered during grid outages.
How Much Can You Save with a Home Battery?
Average UK household electricity bill = £1,140 per year
With Home Battery & EV Tariff = Savings of up to 75%
Total Annual Savings: £800 – £1,600 per year
