Power your 
EV journey

From data sheets to technical specifications to product videos, we have a whole suite of documents to deliver all the information you need.

  • Most homes in the UK can have a charge point installed. However, there are some basic checks that are required. Most EV charge point installers will check this before carrying out the installation. Many offer an online survey to check. An installer will be able to advise if any further equipment is required, for example an SPD, Surge Protection Device.

  • There are a few considerations, do you need permission to install a charge point, for example from your landlord or housing committee. Is the property Domestic or Commercial, do you want to be able to charge others to use your charge point.

  • The speed you can charge from an AC charge point is dictated by the inbuilt charger in the car and then by the available power supply in your property. Is it Single Phase or Three Phase.

  • Yes, you have a couple of options for controlling the charger remotely. You can use the Electric Miles app, our partner's solution, which supports both solar and smart charging for residential and commercial setups. Alternatively, you can use our Green Drive app, which provides seamless remote control capabilities. Our chargers are also compatible with over 70 different OCPP backend providers so you can use the best solution for you. 

  • Yes, All Vestel AC charge points are OCCP compatible. A third-party backend will be required and possibly a payment terminal.

  • Yes, locally via RFID cards, remotely via a compatible backend, or through our Drive Green application. All Vestel charge points are supplied with a 1 Master card and 2 User Cards.

  • Yes, you can control the charger remotely through our partner's Electric Miles app, via our Drive Green app or using an OCPP backend.

  • This depends on the cost of your electricity and size of battery.  Assuming your battery was empty you can estimate the cost for a full charge by multiplying your battery size by your cost per kWh. For instance, if you pay 36p a kWh and you have a 50-kWh battery then the cost for a full charge is £18. 

  • Tethered chargers include the charging cable to the vehicle as part of the charger, whilst socketed chargers require a separate charging cable, often supplied with the vehicle when purchased.

    This is a personal choice, having a tethered model, provides the user with an easy to connect charge point, there is no need to remove the cable from the boot of the car or place it back after use.  No worry of having to place a wet or dirty cable in the car.

    Socket Models are popular at workplace or commercial settings as the owner of the charge point does not have the stress of repairing a damaged cable or the worry of it being stolen.

    A tethered charge point can be more expensive than a socket version.
