EV Charging Points for Home

Electric car charging points will soon become commonplace in UK houses. Electric cars are much cheaper to run than traditional petrol and diesel cars, as well as being much better for the environment.

Are you planning on getting an electric vehicle? Infinity Energy Services is your one stop shop for all EV-related matters in Hampshire, Wiltshire, Surrey, Dorset, Berkshire, Sussex and south-west London. We can advise on:

• Which electric vehicles to buy or lease
• Installing electric car charging points
• Charging your EV with solar electricity

We install electric car charging points either for your home, or we have products suitable for businesses. We work with the major EV charger manufacturers, including Myenergi Zappi, Rolec, EO Charging and Ohme.

Electric car chargers vary in power from 3 kW single-phase all the way up to 22 kW three-phase. We will advise which charging point models are suitable for your circumstances.
