The electric car market is experiencing a rapid growth in the UK, reflecting a nationwide shift towards more sustainable transport options. However, with an estimated 30,000 public charge points across the country, the real focus for most EV owners is the convenience of at-home charging. The majority of electric vehicles are privately owned and are often kept overnight at residential properties, highlighting the pressing need for reliable ‘at home’ charging solutions.
At Helios Energy, we are at the forefront of catering to this growing demand. We supply and install a diverse range of high-quality EV charge points, including prestigious brands like Tesla, to both domestic and commercial properties across the South East of England. Our mission is to make EV charging as effortless as possible, integrating cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design to ensure that your transition to electric driving is both seamless and sustainable.
Benefits include:
Cost Effective
Most private charge points cost half the amount of rapid charging points found at service stations.
Fast Charging
Depending on the size of the charger your car can be fully charged in as little as one hour.
Elevated Property Value
With ownership of electric cars increasing, the demand for charge points is higher than ever. Having an Installation could also make your property more attractive to potential buyers when selling your home.Get in touch with our EV charger installers for a free quote today!

Stage 4 – Switch on
You’re off! With everything tested and working you can start charging your own car, save money and save the planet.
There’s no denying that electric vehicles can seem an expensive initial purchase in comparison to petrol or diesel vehicles, but they can really save you money in the long run. Not only do they have lower running costs, but they are also exempt from road tax, and have reduced fuel and maintenance costs.
Furthermore, if you do want to install an electric charge point at home, the government offers The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme – a grant that provides a 75% contribution to the cost of one charge point and its installation – a saving of up to £350! Because of this, we’re able to offer a discounted installation rate directly to you.
It’s not just about the financial benefits, electric vehicles could really help save our planet as with zero exhaust emissions, they help reduce harmful air pollution. There’s also a trend for manufacturers to use more eco-friendly production and materials i.e. the Ford Focus Electric is made up of recycled materials and the padding is made out of bio-based materials. The Nissan Leaf is another great example with its interior and bodywork partly made of green materials such as recycled water bottles, plastic bags, old car parts and even second-hand home appliances.
You can extend these environmental benefits if you choose to recharge your vehicle using renewable energy such as our full solar PV systems featuring solar panels, powerwalls and charge points.

Ian FarminerJanuary 13, 2024Helios Energy was used as the installer by the supplier of our solar system. An amazing team arrived to fit our system.

They also installed the inverter and batteries in my garage to take up as little space as possible . Their pricing is as competitive and they used good quality equipment.
