EV Chargers

Standard and Smart EV Chargers

OnTrack Solar & Electrical can assist with the installation of EV chargers. A dedicated EV charger provides a safer, more convenient and more reliable way to charge an electric vehicle compared with using a conventional power socket.

We can assess your property, switchboard capacity and electrical supply to recommend a suitable EV charging solution for your needs. Whether you require a standard EV charger for simple everyday charging or a smart EV charger with advanced energy management features, we can provide practical advice and professional installation.

Standard EV Chargers

The main purpose of a standard EV charger is to deliver power to the vehicle at a faster and more reliable rate. Depending on the charger type and the electrical supply available, charging speeds can vary significantly.

Standard EV chargers are a practical solution for users who simply want a convenient way to charge their vehicle. However, they may not always optimise when and how electricity is used, especially where solar power is available.

Smart EV Chargers

Smart EV chargers offer additional functionality beyond basic charging. These chargers can connect to the internet, mobile apps, energy management systems and, in some cases, directly to solar inverters or monitoring platforms.

A smart EV charger allows users to control and schedule charging based on electricity tariffs, solar generation, grid demand or personal preferences. For example, the charger can be set to charge overnight when electricity rates are lower, or during the day when solar generation is highest.

Common smart charging features include:

• App-based monitoring and control

• Scheduled charging times

• Load balancing to prevent overloading the property's electrical supply

• Solar charging modes

• Energy usage reporting

• Remote start and stop functions

• Integration with home energy management systems

• Compatibility with variable electricity tariffs

• Smart chargers are particularly useful for households that want more control over energy usage and charging costs.

• If you are considering installing an EV charger, OnTrack Solar & Electrical can assess your property and recommend a safe, suitable and compliant charging solution.
