In the UK, there are the following chargers:
- Slow Chargers (Level 1/2): Typically 3kW to 7kW, ideal for home charging overnight.
- Fast Chargers (Level 2): 22kW chargers, found in public locations like supermarkets and car parks.
- Rapid Chargers (Level 3): 50kW and above, offering faster charging for longer journeys.
- Ultra-Rapid Chargers: 150kW to 350kW, for the quickest possible charging.
As of Q1 2025, the UK has over 76,840 public charge points, with rapid growth in ultra-fast charging hubs. Additionally, the industry has seen some innovations, such as charging stations integrating solar-powered chargers and battery energy storage systems.
The UK government plans to phase out petrol and diesel vehicles entirely by 2030. With over 780,000 plug-in vehicles already on UK roads as of early 2022, the need for reliable charging infrastructure continues to rise.
If this trend is going to continue upwards, the UK needs a reliable and wide-ranging charging infrastructure, providing a great opportunity for suitably trained electrical installers.
Smart chargers optimise energy use through features like:
- Scheduling off-peak charging to save costs.
- Balancing power loads for multiple vehicles.
- Wireless charging pads for hassle-free operation.
The course is based upon the IET Code of Practice for EV charge point installations and a copy of this book is included as part of the course.
