Here at Dorset EV, we align ourselves with trusted brands that we feel confident will guarantee our customers with a trouble-free installation that will last for years to come. We can also upgrade your consumer unit if required and any additional requirements such as lighting the charging area.

All OZEV approved chargers come with a manufacturer’s 3-year warranty, some manufacturers have free additional 2-year warranty for total piece of mind for up to 5 years, whilst some charge a little extra for this.

Please note: Manufacturers require approved installers to install their products to validate their warranty

We try to keep a stock of some of the most popular chargers so you can beat the lead times. We are trusted and approved installers for most of the market leaders and more.

Workplace Charging

Workplace Chargin

For workplace charging, a business, charity, and public sector can apply for up to £14,000 of funding or a maximum £350 per charger for up to 40 OZEV approved Workplace Charge Scheme approved chargers, please see government web site OZEV – for details of WCS grants available.

What’s important to remember is to decide how you want to manage the chargers, they could be open charge (plug and go) Radio Frequency Identification Card (RFID) for personnel to activate chargers, PIN numbers or even Automatic Vehicle Registration ID. All OZEC Approved WCS chargers have software called OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) allowing the employer to manage the options of how to charge/ or monitor for each charging session, using universal back-office software.

These systems must be carefully managed, so as to balance the available supply and load, there are multiple ways and solutions to this, through careful product selection and software and infrastructure – please send an enquiry where our engineer will be happy to survey and advise of any recommendations.

Commercial Charging

Commercial Charging

There are currently three types of DC fast charging: Combined Charging System (CCS), CHAdeMO ("CHArge de MOve"), and Tesla Supercharger

When charging, there is a limit on the amount of power an EV battery can accept. This acceptance rate, or maximum power rating, is measured in kilowatts (kW) and varies widely from vehicle to vehicle. Many EVs currently on the market have an acceptance rate of 50 kW, while some newer EV models can handle charging up to 270 kW. And because battery size has increased significantly since the first EVs hit the market, DC chargers have been getting progressively higher outputs to match.

These fast charger consume large amounts of energy as they quickly convert AC electric to DC electric, to get your customer back on the road quick, these commercial chargers come with various back office software packages and mobile phone apps for your customers to pay for their charge.
