The Hyundai-approved Chargers come with free standard installation which most UK homes qualify for but in case your home has some quirks, they also offers custom installations for an extra cost. They will just need to ask some questions before providing you with a quote. After installation, you can relax knowing your electric car battery will be charged at the best rate possible and ready for a time that works for you.
This is not to say that public electric car charging points in locations such as motorway service stations or car parks are redundant, it simply means that charging your car overnight during off peak hours will dramatically lower the running costs of your car. Rapid chargers are great for EV drivers to use on occasion.
Hyundai evaluated just how much money you could save by choosing an Ohme smart charger: “Running a Hyundai IONIQ 6 Single Motor RWD with its 77.4kWh battery (WLTP range: 338mls) and an Ohme smart charger on Intelligent Octopus Go*, for example, could cost £116.80 for a year for an average UK driver doing 6,800 miles. By comparison, charging on the Standard Variable Tariff would cost £451.62 for the same distance and an equivalent petrol car would be more than £1,200.”
If you own or rent a flat, you could be eligible for the electric car charge point grant which offers a discount or money off the cost of buying and installing an electric charging socket. Click here to find out more.
