Handbridge is a district of Chester on the south bank of the River Dee. A settlement has existed on the site since the Iron age but the site saw major expansion during the collapse of the Roman occupation of Britain, as the city grew too large for its walls. The site was originally mainly a quarry for the abundant red sandstone that much Chester is built from, but in later years became a centre for salmon fishing in the Dee.
EV Charge Point Handbridge
The number of electric cars on our roads is growing everyday. This is down to more and more people embracing the new technology and the phasing out of diesel engines by the biggest automotive companies. This has led to an increasing demand for electric car EV charger infrastructure in Handbridge, Chester. Here at Applegarth engineering we install and maintain an extensive range of EV chargers, under the governments OLEV (Office For Low Emission Vehicles) grant scheme.
Benefits Of An Home EV Charge Point
If you are a full electric or hybrid vehicle owner, installing an EV charging point at your property is beneficial, making it quicker and more convenient to charge the batteries in you electric vehicle.
- By installing a dedicated EV charging point you can charge your electric vehicle up to 60% faster than a traditional standard household 13amp plug! Our engineers access the 240V electricity supply at your property, to increase charging speeds.
- You will no longer have to rely on overnight charging, with low wattage charging via a household plug or public charging units.
- Without a professionally installed EV chargepoint, charging electric vehicles using a standard 13amp socket can be a hazard. A dedicated EV charge point makes charging your electric vehicle safer with less cable clutter.
- As the number of electric vehicle grows, by installing an EV charger at your property you will add value for any future buyers.
