Electric and Plug in concerns

The main concern that many businesses and company car drivers have, are the amount of charging solutions that are available.

Of course, it is usual to charge your EV or plug in hybrid from a home charging point at night, but there are also cost-effective options to have charging points fitted at the workplace.

Work charging points can ease the minds of company car drivers – particularly if they are driving an EV – but because the current government grant doesn’t include free installation at places of work.  This again could put some businesses off making the switch to EV or plug in hybrid power.

In addition, one of the main installers of electric charging points is British Gas who now charge £150 for home installation, despite the current government grant.

Affordable EV charging solutions

Chris Everitt, Managing Director of Midlands-based EV Charging Solutions not only practices what he preaches by choosing a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV plug in hybrid as his own vehicle, he believes that independent advice can save customers money when it comes to having cost-effective charging point solutions installed;

“As the popularity of the EV and the plug in hybrid is growing – and let’s face it, the company car tax and fuel saving benefits really do make it a no-brainer for many businesses and company car drivers – my business specialises in quality, independent EV charging point solutions.

“We offer free of charge home installation and our wide portfolio of workplace EV charging station options really do give our customers choice and a real potential to save money.

“As we are not “tied in” to any one company, we provide honest, impartial advice and a service that results in as little interruption as possible whilst the points are being fitted.

“After experiencing first-hand the savings that my Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, I would urge any business and company car driver to seriously consider making the change – in my opinion, it is highly unlikely that they will regret it.”
