Why install a Charging Point?
Installing a charging point offers convenience and accessibility for electric vehicles (EV) owners. It ensures that you have a dedicated place to charge your vehicle at home, saving time and hassle compared to relying solely on public charging stations.
Additionally, home charging typically allows for faster charging speeds and can be more cost-effective in the long run. Overall, installing a charging point provides peace of mind and enhances the practicality of owning an EV.
Universal or Tethered?
Has a cable attached (Type 1 - 4.8m or Type 2 - 7.5m)
Connects to all electric cars. No cable included
Tethered Solos have a charging cable permanently attached to them, which can be either Type 1 (4.8m) or Type 2 (7.5m) to match whichever connector your vehicle has. They’re the convenient option as you don’t have to supply a cable separately, but you can’t remove the cable and take it with you.
A universal Solo is more flexible, with you supplying the charging cable. They accept both Type 1 and Type 2 charging cables, so any vehicle can connect to them provided you have the right cable. You can also use this portable charging cable on compatible chargers on the Pod Point Network.
