FAQ

Everything you need to know before your first charge.

Q What connector type do you have?

The charger is an Autel unit with an extra long Type 2 cable, which fits the vast majority of electric vehicles sold in the UK, including Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, VW ID.3, Tesla Model 3, MG4, and many more. The extra long cable means you don't need to park right up against the wall.

Q How do I pay?

Payment is by cash or bank transfer. You pay for exactly what you use — there are no standing charges, connection fees, or subscriptions.

Q Can I leave my car overnight?

Yes, absolutely. Overnight charging is very welcome — it's often the most convenient option and means your car is fully charged and ready in the morning.

Q Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, please give me a call or text first so I can make sure the spot is free and the charger is ready for you. It only takes a minute to sort.

Q I don't have an EV yet — is this useful to know?

Very much so! A lot of people in terraced streets don't get an EV because they worry about charging. This service removes that barrier — you don't need your own driveway.

Q How fast is the charger?

The charger runs at 7.4kW, which adds roughly 25–30 miles of range per hour. Overnight charging will fully top up most EVs.
