The switch to electric vehicles (EVs) is happening fast, driven by growing awareness, technology and government backing. As the electric vehicle market grows, so does the need for reliable EV charging solutions. Whether you’re a business owner looking to upgrade your commercial property or a homeowner wanting convenience, understanding and getting EV charging solutions will benefit you. In this blog, we’ll look at the benefits of EV charging solutions, with a focus on the Zappi EV Charger and the services Fusion Solar offers.
Electric Vehicles and Charging Solutions
Electric vehicles are key to the move towards sustainable transport. With climate change and air pollution top of mind, many individuals and businesses are switching to EVs. According to recent figures the number of electric cars on Irish roads has increased by over 30% in the last year. This is why we need to develop EV charging infrastructure to meet the demand.
EV Charging Benefits:
Environmental Benefits: One of the main reasons for switching to electric vehicles is the reduced environmental impact. EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. By installing an EV charger, you’re contributing to this positive environmental impact and meeting sustainable transport goals.
Cost Savings: Although the initial cost of an EV charger may seem high, the long-term savings are significant. Charging an electric vehicle is generally cheaper than fueling a petrol or diesel car. With electricity costs rising, having your own EV charger means you can take advantage of off-peak rates and save on your energy bills.
Convenience: Having a dedicated EV charging point at home or work is unbeatable. You can charge your vehicle overnight or during off-peak hours, so it’s ready to use whenever you need it. This is especially beneficial for businesses as it can attract eco-conscious customers and provide an added amenity for employees.
Government Incentives: In Ireland, various incentives encourage the adoption of EVs and the installation of charging infrastructure. For example, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers grants of up to €300 for residential EV charger installations. Fusion Solar is a credited installer with SEAI and can guide you through the grant application process to make your switch to electric mobility even more affordable.
