Safe and energy-efficient EV charging is something anyone can achieve with the right installation services. We are dedicated to sustainable home electricity.

EVs have been widely embraced as the path to sustainable transportation with the potential to cut down on pollution and help us focus on sustainable energy sources.
If you have already taken a step toward that future with a personal EV, your home can be equipped to charge your electric vehicle. This ensures a safe and efficient way to power up. As an electrical services team, Astley Electrical is poised to assist in green solutions. These solutions complement the dream of sustainable transportation.
A standard residential outlet runs 10 Amps, while EVs charge at an optimal rate with a flow of 32 Amps. Plugging your EV into the wall will charge it overnight, but might not charge it efficiently between morning and afternoon errands. It can also be risky to plug a constant-draw EV charger into an old electrical circuit that is not built or maintained to support full-capacity current for long periods of time.
Homeowners often choose EV charging stations for the boost in both charging speed and home electrical safety. A professional installation also introduces the opportunity to place the 32 Amp plug or wall installation conveniently relative to your parking spot. In fact, there are special accessories like a retracting spool and cable mounts that can make any arrangement tidy and convenient.
The cost savings compared to public charging fees is also a valuable boost to your home finances.
There are two aspects of a home EV charging station. The first is the electrical capabilities of your home and the second concerns installing the specific system you select.
Astley Electrical offers specialised services to assess your installation needs. We can help you select the right charging station for your home and vehicle, then expertly install the system on its own circuit for optimal safety and charging performance.
At Astley Electrical, we are dedicated to sustainability through expert electrician services. We are as excited as you are to see these stations growing in popularity in local homes, and proud to offer the installation services that homeowners need for safe and efficient at-home EV charging.
With a properly installed EV charging system, you can enjoy your EV to the fullest, charging conveniently and affordably at home with a smartly placed system tailored to exactly where your EV is parked. We’ll take care of electrical box and circuit upgrades if necessary to get your home, car, and carbon footprint ready for the future.
EV charging has come a long way since the first plug-in models. Advances in charging stations include WiFi-powered smart charging that you can control with your phone. Timed charging for off-peak hours is also available, along with wall panel displays that provide information about the charging process. These features make monitoring your car’s charging convenient and efficient.
If you have an electric vehicle or will soon purchase one, Astley Electrical can equip your home with the right station so you can enjoy every energy-efficient mile.
