Electrical Installation in Stafford is imperative at this time of year with the clocks going back meaning we have lost an hour of natural light. It’s the golden quarter for retailers with late night shopping becoming the norm in the lead up to Christmas. This means our electricity will be on that little bit longer with natural light limited, so make sure your electrical installation is working and most importantly safe. As well as late night shopping, workers at companies like Royal Mail will be working around the clock to make sure presents are delivered before the Christmas shutdown. Christmas also means outside decorations for shops, pubs and in city centres, so ensure your external power points are safe and no extension cables are being used.

A Guide to Electric Car Chargers

A Guide to Electric Car Chargers

By on Oct 19, 2018 in Electric Car Chargers, Latest News, Uncategorized | 0 comments

Over the last half a decade, the number of electric cars and subsequently electric car chargers has dramatically risen. Plug-in cars have increased from 3,500 in 2013 to around 178,000 by the end of September 2018. Electric vehicles make up around 2.4% of all new cars sold in the UK. There are 120 models of electric vehicles in the UK, with each requiring a specific charging type, connector and speed. At Orbis Engineering we’ve put together a helpful guide to where motorists can find electric car chargers in the UK. Electric Car Chargers in the UK Public: There are a number of public electric car chargers and networks throughout the UK. Public chargers provide additional support for motorists to extend the charge on longer journeys. Most public locations will offer the choice of either slow, fast and rapid. Locations of public chargers include motorway service stations, supermarkets, shopping centres, car parks and more. Home: Domestic electric car chargers are the most common, convenient and cost-effective form of charging your vehicle. Typically, home chargers are either 3kW (slow) or 7kW (fast). Faster charging stations take half the time but cost more than slower charging stations. As an incentive for buyers, home charging points qualify for the EV Homecharging scheme which gives you money back off an installed station. Work: Companies with a workplace electric car charger offers employees and visitors a chance to charge their vehicles. As the vehicle is stationary for most of the day, workplace chargers are just as effective as a domestic charger. Like the Homecharging Scheme, the government offers organisations financial support for installations. Speak to Orbis for Electric Car Chargers As there are a huge number of electric vehicles on the road, each vehicle requires its own set up for charging. Different models charge at different speeds.

A Guide to EV Charging Stations

A Guide to EV Charging Stations

By on Oct 12, 2018 in EV Charging Stations, Latest News, Uncategorized | 0 comments

The number of electric vehicles (EV) in the UK is rising every day. There are approximately 178,000 plug-in cars and 6,100 plug-in vans on the road as of September 2018. EV charging stations at home, work or public areas have become a vital part of car ownership. Motorists must consider power, connector type and the model of electric vehicle. Here at Orbis Engineering, we’ve put together a small guide to EV charging stations. EV Charging Stations Explained Electric Vehicle charging stations can be of three types: Rapid, Fast and Slow. The three core charging types represent the power output and charging speed of the electric vehicle. Rapid: Rapid EV charging stations are the fastest way to charge your EV. Most typically found in services stations or other locations close to the main road. The chargers supply high power to recharge your vehicle to approx. 80% in 20-40 minutes. Rapid charging is only suitable for vehicles with rapid charging capabilities. Fast: Fast EV charging stations are rated at either 7kW or 22kW. The charging time varies between the unit speed and electric vehicle. A 7kW charger will take between 3-5 hours and a 22kW charger will take 1-2 hours. Fats chargers tend to be found at supermarkets, car parks, shopping centres and other public locations where cars will be parked for an hour or more. Slow: Slow EV charging stations are rated at 3kW with a full charge taking around 6-12hours to charge fully. Slow chargers are the most common method of charging EV. Due to the longer charging time, slow chargers are most commonly found but not restricted to home and workplaces. Slow chargers at home most often find themselves qualifying for the EV Homecharge Scheme, this gives buyers money off on an installed charging unit. We install all types of EV Charging Stations At Orbis Engineering, we install all types of charging stations for every vehicle. If you would like more information about our EV charging stations, please get in touch with our team...
