What Types of EV Chargers Are Available in Ireland?
Selecting the right type of EV charger is crucial for meeting your specific needs, whether for home or commercial use. Here’s a breakdown of the different types available:
Level 1 Chargers
Level 1 chargers provide a basic charging option using a standard household electrical socket. While they are the most accessible, they also charge the slowest, typically taking overnight to provide a full charge for a typical electric vehicle.
Level 2 Chargers
Level 2 chargers are faster than Level 1 and are commonly found in residential and commercial settings. These require a higher power output and can fully charge an electric vehicle in just a few hours.
DC Fast Chargers
DC Fast Chargers are the quickest type of EV chargers available, often used in commercial and public charging stations. They are capable of charging an EV’s battery to 80% in around 20-30 minutes.
Portable Chargers
Installing solar panels can increase the value of your commercial property. Properties with solar installations often attract more interest and can command higher prices or rental incomes in the market.
Smart Chargers
Smart chargers connect to a home or business network and can be managed via a smartphone app. They allow users to schedule charging during the time when demand is less to save on electricity costs and can also provide real-time data about usage.
How We Help You to Choose the Right Location for Your EV Charger?
Selecting the right location for your EV charger installation is key to maximising convenience and functionality. We recommend to consider these aspects:
Presence to Main Electrical Panel
We install your EV charger close to the main electrical panel that can reduce installation costs. The further the charger is from the panel, the more wiring is required, which can increase the overall expense.
Ease of Access
The charger should be easily accessible to ensure problem free connection to your vehicle. We suggest you consider factors like the length of the charging cable and the parking arrangement at your home or business.
Protection from Elements
If installing outdoors, choose a location that offers some protection from environmental elements. Chargers can be weather-resistant, but we offer protected installations that typically have longer lifespans and fewer maintenance issues.
Visibility and Security
We suggest that the charger should be in a well-lit, secure area to prevent destruction or theft. For home installations, consider a careful location that does not interfere with the beauty of your property.
Future Expansion
If you are likely to increase the number of EVs in your household or business, we suggest you consider selecting a location that allows for easy addition of more chargers in the future.
What Type of Incentives We Help With for EV Charger Installation?
We help you to apply for various incentives that can make installing an EV charger more affordable and appealing:
Government Grants
In Ireland, the SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) offers grants for installing home EV chargers, which can cover a significant portion of the installation costs, reducing the financial burden on homeowners. We help to apply for these grants along with detailing the criteria and process.
Tax Credits
For commercial EV charger installations, businesses can often benefit from tax credits that reduce the taxable income of the company as an incentive for contributing to environmental sustainability efforts. We provide guidance of tax credits to lower the cost.
Reduced Taxes
We offer reduced taxes for electricity used during low season hours, which can be beneficial for EV owners who charge their vehicles overnight.
Local Incentives
Local governments sometimes offer additional incentives, such as refunds, to encourage the usage of electric vehicles and the installation of EV chargers. We help to avail these refunds to benefit you as much as you can.
Quick Decrease in Value
For commercial organisations, the cost of EV charger installation can sometimes be eligible for quick decrease in value, providing a significant tax benefit over a short period.
These incentives not only lower the initial installation cost but also promote long-term savings and sustainability, making EV charger installation a smart investment for both individuals and businesses.
