2. Why Choose an Evec EV Charger?
Not every EV driver wants to spend over £1,000 on ornamental wood fascias or animated lighting. If you want a dependable, fully certified, smart home charger that gets the job done cleanly and economically, Evec is the premier choice:
1. Unrivalled Value for Money:
Evec was founded in Manchester with a mission to make electric vehicle charging accessible to every British household, delivering full UK smart-charging compliance at a significantly lower hardware cost.
2. Ideal for OZEV £350 EV Chargepoint Grants:
If you live in a rented home or flat, pairing Evec with the £350 government grant delivers one of the most affordable fully installed home charging setups in the UK.
3. No Earth Rod Required:
Built-in electronic PEN fault detection means no copper ground rods driven into your lawn or driveway, preserving clean aesthetics and speeding up installation time.
4. Smart Energy Tariff Automation:
Use the free evec mobile app to schedule charging during low-cost off-peak electricity hours (e.g. Octopus Go, British Gas EV) to slash driving costs down to approximately 2p per mile.

6. Frequently Asked Questions: Evec
Is Evec fully compliant with the latest UK Smart Charge Point Regulations?
Yes. All Evec chargers meet the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021, featuring randomised delay algorithms, cyber security encryption, and scheduled charging functionality.
Can I lock the charger to stop neighbours using it?
Yes. The evec smartphone app allows you to lock the chargepoint remotely so it will not output power until you authorise it via the app.
