YOUR GUIDE TO HOME CHARGING POINTS
Delivering a full charge up to three times faster than a 3-pin socket, home charging points give you the confidence to go the distance every day of the year.
Completely weather-proof and designed to be discrete yet easily accessible, our recommended home charging solutions are professionally installed and approved by the government’s Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV).
KEY BENEFITS OF MAKING THE SWITCH
-
FASTER CHARGING
Compared to the 7 hours it typically takes to charge a vehicle using a 3-pin household socket, home charge points can take as little as 2 hours.
-
COST SAVINGS
Charging an electric vehicle costs significantly less than refuelling with petrol or diesel. And you can reduce this cost further by charging at home and taking advantage of a cheaper overnight electricity tariff.
-
SMART ENABLED
Every home charging point from our recommended partners comes smart enabled, meaning you can conveniently activate and deactivate your charging progress straight from your phone.
SAVE £350 WITH THE GOVERNMENT GRANT
All Land Rover PHEV vehicles qualify for the government’s Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme. This provides up to £350 towards the installation of a home charging point by an approved installer.
To qualify for the grant, you will need to:
- Have off-street parking
- Install an OLEV-approved charging point
- Have a maximum of one charging point per eligible vehicle and a maximum of two per household
- Install your home charger no more than four months before the delivery of your vehicle or the date you become the registered driver of the vehicle
If you are a Scottish resident you may also be eligible for an additional £300 from the Energy Savings Trust.
