The electric car market is growing rapidly in the UK. Despite an estimated 30,000 public charge points across the country, most cars are privately owned and kept overnight at residential properties, so require an ‘at home’ charging solution.
At Helios Energy we supply and install a variety of charge points from high quality manufacturers including Tesla to both domestic and commercial properties across the South East. Benefits include:
Cost Effective
most private charge points cost half the amount of rapid charging points found at service stations
Faster
Depending on the size of the charger your car can be fully charged in as little as one hour
Property Value

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.
