Meeting the\u00a0increased\u00a0demand created by the\u00a0UK\u00a0Government\u2019s 2030 zero emissions pledge<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>UK\u2019s\u00a0electric car charging infrastructure is\u00a0rapidly changing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It will continue evolving in order to stay ahead of the seismic shift preceding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/uk-enshrines-new-target-in-law-to-slash-emissions-by-78-by-2035\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the\u00a0Government\u2019s\u00a02030\u00a0zero emissions pledge<\/a>, which\u00a0will see\u00a0an end to the sale of\u00a0new petrol and diesel cars.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence of the changes already apparent include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zap-map.com\/ev-market-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zap-Map<\/a>, as of the end of May 2022, there are a total of 870,000 electric plug in vehicles in the UK &#8211; 480,000 are battery-electric cars plus a further 390,000 plug-in hybrids.<\/li>\n<li>Statistics released by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/quick-off-the-spark-electric-vehicle-sales-continue-to-soar-in-green-revolution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Transport<\/a> show sales of new plug-in vehicles nationally rose by over 70% as the UK continues to accelerate towards net-zero transport.<\/li>\n<li>According to a Government policy paper on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/uk-electric-vehicle-infrastructure-strategy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electric vehicle infrastructure strategy<\/a>, in 2021, 190,000 battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) were sold in the UK. This was more than the five previous years combined, and nearly 1 in 8 of all new cars sold. This year it will be even more.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theccc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Sixth-Carbon-Budget-The-UKs-path-to-Net-Zero.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Climate Change Committee<\/a>\u00a0have advised the UK Government that it estimates that by 2030, the number of electric vehicles on the UK roads could be around 16 million!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is clear\u00a0the\u00a0next ten years will see a <strong>big\u00a0increase\u00a0in the number of EVs on our roads<\/strong>,\u00a0and\u00a0the people who drive them will require facilities allowing\u00a0them to charge their vehicles overnight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Catering\u00a0for\u00a0this\u00a0ever-increasing\u00a0number of electric vehicle\u00a0drivers by providing a charging point will give\u00a0your\u00a0holiday let\u00a0greater appeal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>2. Encourage greener living and cater for eco-conscious guests<\/h3>\n<p>As global awareness of the impact travel is having on the environment grows, more of us realise that travel doesn\u2019t have to cost the earth. Transport, in particular cars, is the largest source of CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing to travel more sustainably by using alternative options like EVs<strong>, helps to reduce the amount of carbon emissions linked to climate change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, cars powered entirely by electric batteries don\u2019t produce any exhaust emissions. And help towards protecting the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Not only would installing an EV charging unit in your holiday let encourage greener living and do your bit to help climate change, but it would also provide an <strong>incentive for environmentally aware guests<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Cover the cost of your electric charging point installation<\/h3>\n<p>Providing an\u00a0electric vehicle charging point\u00a0at your holiday let is not only environmentally sustainable and is likely to draw discerning guest, but it unlocks the potential for a <strong>return on your\u00a0investment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As a holiday let owner, you\u00a0have the option to take payment\u00a0from guests for charging their vehicles\u00a0whilst at your property.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0could mean\u00a0that the running costs\u00a0of your investment will be covered, and guest payments can contribute to the installation cost and more.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Rural areas need more home EV installation points<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31456\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/electric-charging-point-installation-rural.jpg\" alt=\"electric charging point installation rural\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The majority of self-catering holiday cottages across the UK are found in the countryside, where there are limited numbers of public charging facilities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to which, many EVs\u00a0are all full battery-powered cars\u00a0and charging can take some time.<\/p>\n<p>So,\u00a0providing a point\u00a0for\u00a0recharging a car after a long journey in a private driveway,\u00a0or\u00a0by an\u00a0off-road parking\u00a0space,\u00a0is\u00a0always\u00a0going to\u00a0be the most convenient choice for guests.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Electric charging point\u00a0installation\u00a0guidance for holiday let owners<\/h2>\n<p>The installation of an electric charging point seems the logical step forward in providing a convenient solution for guests to charge their EVs while staying at your property.<\/p>\n<p>So, here are a few things to consider with the installation of car charging points at your holiday cottage<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"does\"><\/a><strong>Does my holiday cottage have enough electrical capacity to add an EV charge point?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It may not be something that you think of, but you need to consider whether your property has sufficient electrical capacity to add an EV charging point.<\/p>\n<p>Electric vehicle charging points draw quite a lot of power. This can create problems if you are close to the limits of what your individual system can deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Always check with an electrician or certified installer to find out if your fuse board has enough capacity to support the addition of an EV charging point before ordering one for your holiday let.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"two\"><\/a><strong>Where can I install an EV charge point at a holiday property?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Electric-charging-point-installation-front-door.jpg\" alt=\"Electric charging point installation front door\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As long as\u00a0you have off-street parking, either in a\u00a0driveway, carport or garage, you will be able to provide an EV charging point at your property.<\/p>\n<p>Installation\u00a0involves wall mounting the\u00a0unit\u00a0on an exterior wall or garage, near to where your guests\u00a0park. And connecting it safely to the mains electricity supply.<\/p>\n<p>Home electric charging points must be installed by a professional, certified installer to ensure that it is safe for use.\u00a0Arranging is easy, and you can do it through either your energy provider or a specialist company.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"three\"><\/a><strong>What speed do I need for an EV charge point?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Electric car charge points offer different power outputs. The higher the power output, the quicker\u00a0the\u00a0car charges.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Slow charge points<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These are often the cheapest to use and are best suited when guests are parked overnight at your property. Slow chargers have a maximum of around 3.7 kW available, and typically take between 6-12 hours to recharge an electric car.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Fast charge points<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A 7kW home charger will\u00a0take\u00a03-7 hours to recharge an EV depending on the battery size of the car.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Rapid charge points<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A rapid charger can be rated at anything from 11kW to 22kW and can deliver 60-200 miles of range in 20-30 mins. Rapid Chargers will need 32A or 60A 3-phase power supply. In general, higher power levels will charge quicker.<\/p>\n<h3>How strong does the Wi-Fi signal need to be?<\/h3>\n<p>From 30 June 2022, suppliers will not be allowed to sell non-smart charging points. To support a smart charging point, you will need access to the internet, either via WiFi or a 4G connection.<\/p>\n<p>Installation manuals for smart chargers will advise that when choosing the location for your charging point. You need to check carefully that there is sufficient signal there.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"four\"><\/a><strong>Which EV charge point is best for a holiday let?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/Electric-charging-point-installation-wall-unit.jpg\" alt=\"Electric charging point installation wall unit\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are several models available to buy and lots of different installers who can fit them for you. It can be confusing. But all you need to do is decide what power rating you want and choose either a tethered or socketed charge point.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Socketed\/untethered charge point<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A socketed charge point comes without a cable and is essentially a dedicated charging station. It is fitted with the necessary safety devices to protect your guest,\u00a0their car\u00a0and your\u00a0property.<\/p>\n<p>The benefit of a socketed charger\u00a0for your holiday let is that\u00a0it is compatible with all plug-in electric vehicles. Making it an ideal option when welcoming guests with different cars.<\/p>\n<p>If this is the option you choose, it\u2019s\u00a0worth\u00a0letting\u00a0your guests\u00a0know\u00a0that they\u00a0will\u00a0need to\u00a0bring\u00a0their own separate charging cable when visiting.<\/p>\n<h4>Tethered charge point<\/h4>\n<p>A tethered charge point comes with a long cable attached to the unit\u00a0for ease of use. It is a popular choice as guests just need arrive and plug in. They do not need to bring their own cable.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0majority of tethered cables have a\u00a0Type\u00a02 connector, as most newly manufactured electric cars\u00a0have that connection.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a name=\"smart\"><\/a><strong>What are the new smart charge point regulations?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Government has introduced new smart charge point regulations which came into effect as of June 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/regulations-electric-vehicle-smart-charge-points\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Electric Vehicles Smart Charge Points Regulations 2021<\/a> is the governments way to ensure that any new EV charge points have a smart functionality so that it charges at the best time for the electricity network.<\/p>\n<p>Together with added cyber securing and protection of customer data, the smart charge point regulations introduced three new requirements:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Default off-peak charging<\/li>\n<li>Random delay at the start of the charge<\/li>\n<li>Steps to promote customers to sign up to demand responsive services<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The aim of these new regulations is to ensure that new charge points make the most of \u2018optimum charging\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The peak demand, or \u2018rush hour\u2019 on the grid happens in the morning and late afternoon. This means that by default EVs will only charge overnight or during the middle of the day.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s good for the grid and better for the environment. Peak-time electricity generation tends to produce more CO2 as we rely more on gas fired power stations rather than renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a name=\"five\"><\/a><strong>Electric car charging point costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about getting an <strong>electric car charger\u00a0home installation\u00a0for your holiday let<\/strong>, it\u00a0doesn\u2019t have to be complicated and it certainly doesn\u2019t need to be expensive either.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0 cost of installing a car charging point will vary from company to company, with many offering more than one price option.<\/p>\n<p>The price depends on the type of\u00a0charge point, the speed you\u00a0are likely to opt for\u00a0and whether installation is included.\u00a0The most affordable\u00a0options\u00a0are 3.7kW chargers while\u00a07kW chargers are\u00a0more\u00a0expensive.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0EV charging point platform\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zap-map.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zap-Map<\/a>,\u00a0there are around 40 manufacturers that provide electrical charging points suitable for residential use.<\/p>\n<p>They also advise that typically,\u00a0a 3.7kW unit will cost between \u00a3250 and \u00a3500, while a 7kW charge point will cost between \u00a3450 and \u00a3800. These guideline costs are for the unit without installation and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few examples of\u00a0well-known brands\u00a0who supply and provide installation of electric car charging points.
