In 2025, owning an electric vehicle (EV) is no longer a futuristic idea

it’s a practical step for many homeowners. At Renewable EDtricity Systems Ltd, we’re seeing more clients ask: “Is it worth installing a home EV charger?” Here’s why the answer is a resounding yes.

Lower fuel costs & greater convenience

One of the biggest benefits of installing a home EV charger is that you control when and how you charge your vehicle. No more relying on public charging points (which may be busy, slow or costly), you plug in at home, overnight, while you sleep, and you wake up ready to go.

Over time, this convenience and reduced “fuel” cost adds up, especially as electricity tariffs become more favourable for off-peak charging.

Enhances your home’s value & appeal

Installing a home EV charger signals that your property is future-ready. As more buyers and renters look for sustainable living options, features like EV chargers become a differentiator. A modern, well-installed charger boosts your home’s appeal and may increase its value when you come to sell.

Works perfectly alongside solar panels & battery storage

If you already have (or are considering) solar panels and/or a battery storage system, adding an EV charger is a logical next step. At Renewable EDtricity, we specialise in integrated solutions – solar PV, batteries and EV chargers working together to maximise efficiency.

For example: when your solar array is producing surplus electricity during the day, the battery stores what you don’t use, and your EV charger can draw from either the solar array or stored energy at optimal times. This means less dependence on the grid and more use of your own clean energy.

Future-proofing & sustainability

Governments, automakers and local authorities are increasingly pushing for a transition to electric vehicles. By installing a home charger now, you position yourself ahead of the curve. Plus, you can benefit ethically as well as financially — reducing your carbon footprint, supporting cleaner air, and taking part in the low-carbon future.

What to consider when selecting a home EV charger

When you’re ready to move ahead, here are a few key questions to ask (and which we can help you with):

• Charger type & capacity: How fast do you want to charge? Do you have a dedicated parking spot or access to your own garage?
• Electrical infrastructure: Does your property’s wiring and consumer unit support the charger? Does any upgrade or rewiring work need to be done?
• Integration with solar/battery: If you already have solar panels or a battery, how will the new charger work in with them?
• Installation & future maintenance: Who will install it? Are they accredited? What happens if service or support is needed later?
  At Renewable EDtricity, we’re fully accredited and provide all the support you need, from survey, design and installation, through to service and after-care.
