With more people choosing to switch to an electric car, consumers are demanding efficient ways to charge their vehicles at home.
Installing an EV wall charger, such as the BG Sync EV Wall Charger 2, now with integrated solar charging, from Luceco – is proving both a popular and money saving solution for consumers as well as a great upsell and customer lock-in opportunity for installers. Savvy wholesalers should prepare to meet demand.
With over 20,000 UK homes per month installing solar PV, an entirely new market is open to installers. Wholesalers can now offer them a truly efficient, value-for-money EV charger with a higher value set of features but within the same price point, and since integrated solar charging is already included, there may even be an opportunity to reduce stocking options.
Ingeniously, thanks to the intuitive smartphone app, homeowners can cut their home-based EV charging costs with the Sync EV Wall Charger 2. By utilising surplus solar energy from their existing solar panels – with no modifications to panels required – instead of having any surplus directed back to the grid, homeowners can potentially charge their electric vehicles for free with Sync EV.
In addition, with personalised settings such as scheduled charging and optimised cut-off points, allowing users to charge dynamically and maximise cheap rates of electricity, the Sync EV Wall Charger 2 delivers a faster home charge compared to plugging a charging cable directly into a three pin socket which gives a very slow charge at a fixed rate – both inconvenient and less cost effective.
Designed with sleek aesthetics, and no compromise on practicalities, the Sync EV Wall Charger 2 is available in two versions – tethered and untethered – to suit individual needs.
Coming in a range of eight interchangeable colours options – traffic white, signal grey, sandstone yellow, signal red, jet black, blue grey, deep blue and racing green, customers can co-ordinate their EV tech with their electric vehicle.
