"myenergi zappi EV Chargers: The Complete Guide For The UK"

[ "myenergi, a UK based company is keen to emphasise its country of origin. The fast growing electric car charging stations manufacturer describes itself as ?British made awesomeness?, with a purpose ?to provide energy independence and drive a sustainable future?. The company was co-founded by Jordan Brompton and Lee Sutton in 2016. The company released its first three products in 2017. The company currently operates in a number of international markets. The company is headquartered in the UK. As of 2022, myenergi has shipped over 300,000 devices. The zappi EV chargers are now in the second-generation (V2). zappi has built a strong reputation for its solar and wind compatible EV chargers, zappi, which are available as both, single-phase and three-phase. Given that most homes in the UK are powered by single-phase power supply, the zappi 7kW EV chargers are most suitable. For homes and businesses that have three-phase power supply, the zappi 22 kW EV charger will be more appropriate. Though zappi EV chargers are compatible with renewable energy, you do not need wind or solar energy on site to install or use a zappi electric car charger. You can still use the zappi EV charger as a ?future proof? strategy, when either wind or solar is installed at the premises. There are significant advantages to using clean and green energy for EV charging, to include, achieving zero-tailpipe emission electric driving and mitigating against energy price inflation. It also increase the Return On Investment (ROI). Apart from the upfront cost of installing solar panels, the cost of generating green energy is free! For those using the EV charger without solar or wind, the power for charging the electric car will be sourced from the grid, just as you normally do to power your home. zappi EV chargers are smart EV chargers i.e. it is an intelligent EV charger that can be controlled via the myenergi mobile app to set timers to utilise economy tariffs with the electricity supplier. The EV charger can be controlled remotely via the app from anywhere in the world. The EV charger has three charging modes: ECO, ECO+ and FAST. For those that need to source power from the grid, we at e-zoomed encourage charging overnight, when the electricity prices are cheaper. For installers and consumers, zappi also offers the advantage of not requiring an earth rod. The zappi EV charger has built-in PEN fault technology, reducing the cost and time for installation. zappi also offers a 5 digit pin code protection to avoid unauthorised changes to the settings or unauthorised used of the EV charger.

"EV charging stations, EV Chargers"

"What Is A Smart EV Charger? Smart Charging For Electric Vehicles"

[ "What Is Smart Charging Along with the rapid development of the electric vehicles (EVs), we have also witnessed significant progress in the development of EV chargers. Both residential and public charging EV stations have come a long way since the introduction of the first-generation modern electric cars, like the all-electric Nissan Leaf in 2010. For early adopters of electric driving, charging an electric car using a basic ?dumb/ non-smart? portable charger was the norm. These EV chargers did not incorporate the ability to ?communicate? or share data, significantly limiting its functionality and operation. Move forward a decade: residential and public EV charging stations could not be more different! In fact, the latest-generation of residential EV chargers allow ?bidirectional? charging, known as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) charging. Wallbox, the Spain headquartered charging station manufacturer, launched the Wallbox Quasar, the first bidirectional electric car charger for the residential market. The Pulsar V2G charger communicates with the National Grid, such that, an onboard EV battery can be used as a residential battery storage unit, not only to power the home, but also to export to the grid in times of significant demand. There are different levels of smart EV chargers or smart charging. At the most basic level, a smart EV charger will give the user some level of control and functionality, either via a mobile app or via the electric car. A smart EV charger is capable of ?smart charging? i.e. the electric car charger is able to ?communicate? via WiFi (internet), bluetooth or a SIM card. The EV charger can send and receive data between the electric car and the EV charger. A smart charger also allows sharing of vital data during the charging session with a number of stakeholders, to include, the user, the charging operator, the National Grid and the energy supplier. For stakeholders, like the National Grid, the insights gained from EV charging sessions are vital for the long-term performance and stability of the grid infrastructure. In fact, the UK government has introduced regulations in relation to EV chargers, to increase information flow and mitigate risks to the grid. The transition to electric driving will have a significant impact on the National Grid, to include the stability of the grid during peak demand. Though electric cars can be charged at anytime, it is more common for EVs to be charged overnight, when electricity prices are lower. Given that the current market share of electric cars is still below 25% in the UK, the issue is less critical compared to when battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) account for the significant majority of the cars on our roads. The National Grid has to manage demand and supply carefully, such that continuous and stable power supply is the norm. The management of the supply of electricity generation is already a complex task for the grid, given the energy mix of the UK and the variability of the power generation profile. For example, renewable energy, like wind energy, though very beneficial, does not provide a stable generation profile. Though wind patterns can be forecast, the actual generation of wind energy will depend on real-wind conditions on-site on the given day. Wind generation does not change only on a day-to-day basis, but also on an hour-to-hour basis. Though solar energy, is more stable, it is still variable. So, bottom-line, supply side management is critical for the stability of the grid, and smart charging is vital in achieving this objective . A smart EV charger allows users to remotely monitor, manage and control the charging session. Though smart charging offers a number of benefits, the two key benefits are: energy use optimisation and cost efficiency. Smart chargers optimise the charging session and manages the load safely. A smart EV charger monitors electrical consumption and adjusts the charging session based on the available energy (dynamic load balancing). Smart charging also allow load balancing for locations with multiple EV charging stations. For such EV charging destinations, an operator can choose how best to distribute the available energy capacity across all active EV chargers. For most public and workplace charging destinations, load balancing is vital for stable operation. But it is also equally important for semi-public charging destinations, like, apartment blocks that share EV charging infrastructure. Other advantages of smart chargers, include: firmware updates remotely via the internet, enhanced security, and integration with renewable energy and battery storage. It is worth noting that not all smart EV chargers offer compatibility with renewable energy (solar or wind), but we can expect this to become more widely available in the near future. Smart EV chargers allow the user to decide on the time and duration of a specific charging session. For example, charging when electricity tariffs are at their lowest. Bottom-line, a smart EV charger enables smart energy management. EV Charging Protocol: Open Charge Alliance (OCA) For those EV consumers studious about new technology, you may have come across Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). Usually mentioned in the data sheet provided by the charging station manufacturer. So what is OCPP? And why is it important? Like all new technologies, standardisation of protocols evolve, as the technology or industry matures. The EV charging sector is no different, in that, for the successful long-term development of the technology and market, a global protocol standard is key. The OCA is an alliance of electric car charging hardware manufacturers, software providers, charging network operators and service providers. The mission of the OCA is to ?foster global development, adoption, and compliance of communication protocols in the EV charging infrastructure and related standards through collaboration, education, testing, and certification?. The key objectives of the OCA, include: development of the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) and Open Smart Charging Protocol (OSCP). Though it is not mandatory for industry participants to use the OCPP protocols, it is fast becoming the de-facto protocol. The OCA alliance was launched in 2009 (OCPP 1.5) and since then has evolved the protocol. Many of the latest generation EV charging points incorporate OCPP 1.6 protocol. The latest iteration is the OCPP 2.01 charge point protocol. The 2.01, includes all that OCPP 1.6 has to offer and more, to include: added security, new smart charging functionalities, improved transaction handling, improved device management and more." ]

"DC EV chargers, AC EV chargers"

"What is DC Charging? What?s The Difference Between AC and DC EV Charging?"

[ "What Is DC Charging? It is true, in that, the majority of electric cars are charged at home, and usually overnight, via a dedicated AC (alternating current) EV charger. In general, we do not use DC (direct current) EV chargers for home charging. However, for public charging we use both AC and DC EV charging, but with a greater emphasis on DC electric car chargers. One of the key reasons for the preference of DC EV chargers, for public EV charging, is that, DC EV chargers offer faster charging speeds. Put another way, an onboard EV battery can be charged faster using a DC electric car charger compared to an AC EV charger. There are a number of reasons for the higher charging speeds for DC EV chargers. But one of the key factors is the location of the ?converter? that converts AC power, into DC, to be stored in the onboard EV battery. The power from the grid is always AC power. When using a residential EV charger like myenergi zappi, the power is being converted from AC to DC, to be stored in the EV battery. Electric cars incorporate a ?converter? usually referred to as an ?onboard charger?, to convert AC into DC when the electric car is charging. AC EV chargers do not incorporate a converter. The converter is always located within the electric car. Depending on the type of electric vehicle (EV), the onboard AC charger can vary between single-phase and three-phase. Though most of the recent battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), incorporate a single-phase onboard AC charger (7.4 kW AC), many also offer a three-phase onboard AC charger (up to 22 kW AC). In contrast, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) usually incorporate between a 3.6 kW AC and 7.4 kW AC onboard AC charger. This is not surprising, given the smaller on board EV battery in a PHEV. Most homes in the UK are power by a single-phase power supply. Therefore, even if the electric car has a 3-phase (22 kW) onboard charger, it will be limited to single-phase EV charging. Conversely, if the building is supplied by 3-phase power supply, and the onboard AC charger is limited to single-phase, the EV will only charge at single-phase. Most commercial buildings in the UK are powered by three-phase power supply. For those new to electric driving, an onboard EV battery, is in some respects similar to a fuel tank in an internal combustion engine (ICE), petrol or diesel vehicle. The larger the fuel tank capacity (litres), the more the fuel required for filling. Similarly, the larger the capacity (KWh) of the onboard EV battery, the more the energy required to recharge! In AC EV charging, the impediment to achieving faster charging speeds is limited by the capability of the onboard charger (converter). In DC charging, though, there is a need to convert grid power (AC) into DC, it is done within the DC charger and not in the electric vehicle. In DC charging, power is sent directly to the EV battery, bypassing the onboard EV converter. Hence the higher performance of DC EV chargers. In general, AC charging session take between 4 ? 12 hours, while DC charging sessions between 15 minutes and 60 minutes. It is also worth noting, that public DC charging costs significantly more than residential AC electric car charging. The majority of AC EV chargers are between 7 kW AC ? 22 kW AC, but can be up to 43 kW. In the case of DC chargers, the majority are between 50 kW DC -250 kW DC. There are four primary charging speed categories for electric cars: slow, fast, rapid and ultra-rapid. Of course, rapid and ultra-rapid chargers offer the fastest charging speeds, and these are often located at motorway services. Like for AC charging, DC charging speeds are limited to the onboard DC charging capability of the electric car. If an EV has a 50 kW DC charging capability, the maximum charging speed will be limited to 50 kW DC, even if the DC charging station offers a higher DC charging capability. Charging Times (Overview) Slow charging AC (3 kW ? 3.6 kW): 6 ? 12 hours (dependent on size of EV battery & SOC) Fast charging AC (7 kW ? 22 kW): 3 ? 8 hours (dependent on size of EV battery & SoC) Rapid charging AC (43 kW): 10%-80%: 20 mins to 60 mins (dependent on size of EV battery & SoC) Rapid charging DC (50 kW+): 10%-80%: 20 mins to 60 mins (dependent on size of EV battery & SoC) Ultra-rapid charging DC (150 kW+): 10%-80% : 20 mins to 40 mins (dependent on size of EV battery & SoC) Tesla Supercharger (120 kW ? 250 kW): 10%-80%: up to 25 mins (dependent on size of EV battery & SoC) Most DC charging sessions are up to 80% state-of-charge (SoC). This is to protect the onboard EV battery. Interestingly, the last 20% can take as long as it takes to charge up to 80%. Therefore best to charge up to 80% and charge up to 100% in the convenience of your home, overnight. Not all electric cars offer DC charging capability. In fact, most PHEVs do not offer DC charging, while most BEVs offer DC charging. Again, not surprising, given the smaller size of the onboard EV battery in a PHEV. At an average, pure electric cars incorporate a DC charging capability between 50 kW DC to 100 kW DC. Of course, some pure electric cars offer far faster charging capability. As an example, the all-electric Tesla Model Y offers DC charging up to 250 kW DC. Put another way, the EV can add 150 miles in 15 minutes. DC EV chargers vary in performance between 50 kW DC an up to 250 kW DC. The Tesla Supercharger network is a case in point, with most Tesla DC EV chargers offering up to 250 kW DC. Tesla is now in the process of introducing V4 of its Supercharger, capable of DC charging up to 350 kW DC. Tesla is not the only public DC charging network in the UK. Others include: InstaVolt, Osprey, GRIDSERVE, bp pluse and more. The majority of these operators offer rapid and ultra-rapid DC charging. According to zapmap, as of December 2022, the UK has 6,902 rapid and ultra-rapid charging devices across 3,996 locations. What Is The Difference Between AC and DC EV Charging? AC EV Charging DC EV Charging AC/DC converter in the EV AC/DC converter in the DC EV charger Charging speeds limited by the onboard EV converter Charging speeds not as limited by the converter incorporated in the DC charger Longer charging times Shorter charging times Cheaper charging tariffs Higher charging tariffs More widely available Less widely available Can charge at home Cannot charge at home EV Glossary Alternating Current (AC): What is alternating current? Though we may not be familiar with this term, we use alternating current everyday in our homes to power our appliances! Alternating current is a type of electric current, in which the direction of the flow of ?electrons? switches back and forth at regular intervals or cycles. When an electric car is charged at home, the type of electric current used, is alternating current. Direct Current (DC): What is direct current? Direct current (DC) is a type of electric current that flows in only one direction i.e. uni-directional. DC enables the constant flow of electrons from an area of high electron density to an area of low electron density. DC is quite common in our day-to-day lives. Many of the appliances we use on a regular basis that are operated by batteries, use DC. A mobile phone, a laptop, a torch light etc. In electric cars, the onboard EV battery also uses direct current to store energy. " ]

"EV Batteries, EV Charging"

"6 reasons why your electric car isn't charging as fast as you'd expect"

[ "Electric car charging times: what's the holdup? Charging times for electric cars are not always as clear-cut as you would hope. and the actual power output of a charging station doesn?t always match the maximum as advertised. While this can be frustrating, there could be a few good reasons why your electric car charging time isn't always as fast as you may expect it to be. So, why is this the case? Well, actual electric car charging times depend on a range of factors that can be influenced by your car, the charging station, your driving behavior, and even the weather conditions. In short, these six factors are most common to affect charging time: Maximum charging capacity VS. maximum power output State of charge Charging simultaneously Battery temperature Sitting in your car while charging Battery health A casually dressed man on a sunny day, holding an EV charging cable and standing next to a black electric car, indicating that he is about to charge his car. Charging times for electric cars and their influence on EV adoption If you think you keep seeing more and more EVs out on the roads, you?re not dreaming ? EV adoption has skyrocketed these past years and is reaching record sales across the world. Despite EVs? impressive growth, drivers still have many doubts and hesitations, especially around batteries and charging. In fact, our research with Ipsos found that EV charging times and battery duration are a primary concern for 43% of EV drivers. A middle-aged man wearing a casual green shirt and modern glasses looking doubtful in front of an orange background. One of the most common uncertainties is around how long it takes to charge an EV, and why you don?t always get the speed advertised at the charging station. In this article, we?ll take a look at the six most common factors that affect the time it takes to charge an electric car and we?ll explain exactly how and why this is the case. 1. Maximum charging capacity VS. maximum power output By far the most common reason that your EV isn?t charging as fast as you?re expecting it to is a limit to its charging capacity or the power output that a charger can provide. In other words, either your car isn?t equipped to handle the maximum load that a charging station can provide, or the charger?s maximum output is lower than the maximum power your car can accept. This mismatch is often the cause for charging speeds below what?s advertised by a charger, especially in the case of fast charging. Difference between kW and kWh Before we dive into power output in more detail, we need to discuss some terminology. If you?ve ever researched EVs, you might have seen power outputs and battery capacities expressed in kilowatts (kW) and kilowatt-hours (kWh). But what exactly is the difference between the two? Kilowatt definition in a dictionary Simply put, a kilowatt measures the electrical current flow in a circuit ? in other words, how much energy is being consumed on the spot. Kilowatts denote charging power and are used to express a charging station?s maximum power output. In a residential setting, home charging stations usually have outputs of 7, 11, or 22 kW. Public fast charging enables much higher power outputs, anywhere from around 50 kW up to 400 kW. By contrast, a kilowatt-hour (kWh) in the context of EVs represents the amount of energy stored by a battery ? the higher the number, the more power (and thus, likely more range) an EV?s battery can store. Why is this important? This is why, even if you connect your EV to a charging station capable of high power output, it might not charge your car faster if it can?t handle the same power output. Indeed, a charger will always match your EV?s maximum charging capacity ? depending on which limit is lower. So, the charging output is restricted by either the car or the charger. So, what do kW and kWh mean when charging electric cars? Let?s look at a concrete example to illustrate this. Suppose you own a Hyundai IONIQ 5 Long Range AWD, which has a 77.4 kWh battery and a maximum AC charging input of 11 kW. So, while the power output of the 22kW charging station is doubled, your car won?t be charged faster than using an 11kW charging station simply because the vehicle can?t take more than 11 kWh. A lady in a light coat, checking her smart phone while waiting on her car to be charged. The same logic applies to DC fast charging. While there are chargers capable of delivering up to 350 (or even 400 kW of power), the IONIQ 5 is limited to 233 kW fast charging and won?t benefit from any higher power. So, even with a 350 kW charger, the car would still take the same 17 minutes to charge as it would with a 233 kW charger. 2. Battery state of charge But charging capacity and a charging station?s power output aren?t the only factors that influence charging time, another important one is the state of charge (or SoC). What is battery state of charge? Put simply, SoC refers to how much energy your car currently holds or, in other words, your car?s battery percentage. the interior of an electric car, with a screen showing that the car's battery is charging, the state of charge being 75% and expected duration to reach 100% SoC is 1hr and 35 minutes. Unlike gas-powered vehicles, which fill up at the same rate regardless of how full your fuel tank is, the lithium-ion batteries used in EVs don?t charge at the same speed depending on how full their battery is. In fact, EV batteries can charge much faster at lower states of charge (for example, 20%) than higher ones (let?s say, 80%). This is why an EV can often charge up from 0 to 80 percent fairly quickly but will take comparatively longer to charge from 80 to 100 percent. An infographic of AC and DC charging curves that shows the difference between AC and DC charging station's power output and an EV battery's state of charge. Beyond being a product of how battery chemistry works, this mechanism also protects your battery from overheating and helps preserve its lifespan. It?s worth noting as well that most manufacturers don?t recommend regularly charging their EVs above 80 percent anyway, so you shouldn?t experience this slower rate for everyday charging. To finish off with a metaphor, imagine an EV?s battery as an empty glass, with the energy provided by the charging station being a full water bottle. Initially, you can fill up the empty glass pretty quickly, but as you get closer to full, you?ll have to slow down to ensure the water doesn?t overflow. This is a very similar process to what happens with EV batteries and explains why they charge slower at higher states of charge. 3. Simultaneous charging Another factor that can prolong charging time is if multiple EVs are connected to the same charging station or share the same power source. While not every charging station allows simultaneous charging, those that do will have to share their power between multiple vehicles if there is more than one using it at the same time. Even if chargers are separate, they might still share one power source, meaning that each charger?s output decreases as the others are used. This is often the case for fast chargers, where two units can share the same transformer, meaning the maximum power output gets halved if both are in use. Because of this, when using public charging, it?s always worth choosing the station with the fewest or no other vehicles connected to ensure you get the highest possible speeds. 4. Battery temperature External factors, such as temperature, will also affect how fast an EV charges. This is because batteries, including the ones used in EVs, are designed to work the best in a narrow range of optimal temperatures around 20øC. When the temperature gets significantly lower or higher than that, the battery can become damaged and its capacity reduced. Battery management system To prevent this, EV batteries are equipped with a battery management system (BMS), which monitors the battery?s operation and adjusts charging accordingly to preserve its health. So, when temperatures get outside of the optimal range, the BMS can reduce the charging rate to ensure it doesn?t damage the battery. Charging can also be slower in extreme temperatures because some of the energy might be used to heat or cool the battery to bring it to an optimal temperature, resulting in somewhat less efficient charging compared to mild weather. Of course, it?s worth keeping in mind that the influence of temperature on charging times varies between vehicles, so it?s worth checking the specifics for your car. Charging in Winter vs Summer Seasons change, and so do charging times. Let?s take a look at how seasonal changes affect the charging speed of your electric car. EV Charging in Winter In cold weather, a battery?s ability to take in energy decreases, meaning the charging power it can accept is temporarily lower than its usual maximum, and charging will take longer. Heating the battery, for example by pre-heating the car, can speed up charging in this situation. The cold will also impact an EV battery?s ability to retain energy due to changes in its chemistry, which make the ions it contains lose their charge. Depending on the temperature, an EV can lose up to 4% of its battery charge when parked overnight in the cold. To ensure you always have a full charge in the morning, it?s worth keeping your EV plugged in during cold weather, even if you don?t usually need to charge every night. Lastly, you might notice while driving that your EV?s range seems lower in cold weather. This is a combination of the factors above, as well as your car?s BMS taking up more energy than usual to maintain the battery at an optimal temperature. EV Charging in Summer While charging in hot weather doesn?t have the same impact on the range as cold weather does, it can still cause problems to the battery if not managed properly. The main impact of hot weather is overheating the battery, adding to the heat the battery already generates when powering the car. To help combat this, the BMS can slow the charging rate if the battery is getting too hot, as well as increase cooling to help keep the temperature at optimal levels. As you can imagine, this uses additional energy, which can decrease charging efficiency and extend charging times. 5. Sitting in your car while it charges You might not even think that using a car while it?s charging has any impact, but in fact, it can visibly add to the charging time, depending on how it?s used. While you obviously can?t drive a car while it?s plugged in, staying inside the vehicle and using heating or air conditioning, the sound system, or lights, for example, can increase energy consumption and divert some of the energy from charging, adding to charging time. 6. Battery health EV batteries last much longer than people often think, and with a lifespan of around 10-15 years, they typically outlast the vehicle they?re in. That said, batteries do age and lose some of their capacity in the process. As they age, the resistance inside batteries also increases. This means that the power they can accept decreases, slowing down the charging rate. It?s worth noting that EV batteries are often designed with an excess capacity to act as a buffer against aging. As such, it?s likely that the decrease in capacity, and the corresponding increase in charging time, will be barely perceptible in most cases. ]

"Fast charging, Charging stations"

"How to use a fast charging station"

[ "There?s no doubt that fast charging is a convenient, useful tool that enables you to make the most of your EV. But if you?ve never used a fast charging station before, the thought of handling a few-hundred-kilowatt current can be daunting. Especially as fast charging stations come in many shapes and work in different ways. This article will explain how to use a fast charging station and guide you through the process with the following 5 easy steps: Locate a fast charging station Get the cable Connect the car to the charging station Authenticate and start the session End the charging session Click on on of the steps to jump right to it, or scroll down as we?ll explore the nuances of using a fast charging station in more detail below. What is fast charging? If you?re planning to go on a long-distance trip with your electric vehicle (EV), you?ll most likely want to use a fast charging station at some point to quickly top up your car?s battery. Fast charging, also called Level 3 or DC charging, delivers high-powered current that can unlock much faster charging speeds ? charging an EV using a fast charging station usually takes minutes rather than hours. If you?ve ever tried searching for a fast EV charger, you might have experienced the jumble of terms that surround the concept, from rapid charging to fast and ultra-fast charging and level 3 or DC charging. So what?s the difference between these terms? In reality, not much. They all refer to the same thing ? DC fast charging. The reason this type of charging is much faster has to do with the power output and the type of current. While output varies between charging stations (and depends on your car?s ability to handle high power outputs), generally, the higher the output, the faster an EV?s battery will be charged. Compared to a typical home charger which usually delivers 7.4 kW or 11 kW, fast charging stations are capable of delivering anywhere from 50 kW to 400 kW. The second factor that differentiates fast charging stations from home chargers is the type of current. As the name hints, ?DC? in ?DC fast charging? refers to direct current. Unlike alternating current (AC), which alternates a set number of times a second, DC flows at a fixed rate. All electronics, including EVs? batteries, require DC to operate ? while the car?s onboard charger handles the conversion with AC charging, fast chargers handle the conversion themselves and feed DC directly into the car?s battery, allowing it to bypass the slower onboard converter. Now that we?ve explained what makes fast charging different, let?s look at how you would use a fast charging station. How to charge at a fast charging station 1. Find a fast charging station Before thinking of actually using a fast charging station, the first step is to locate one. Unlike gas stations, EV chargers tend to be less visible and can often be hidden in parking lots or behind a building. The easiest way to find a fast charging station is by using an app. There are many dedicated charging apps to choose from, depending on your region, EV model, and charging habits. These generally offer useful information about the speed, availability, and the number of charging stations, letting you know what to expect and allowing you to plan ahead. Alternatively, many mainstream map apps, such as Google or Apple Maps, also show EV charger locations. Regardless of which method to use, it?s worth keeping in mind that no matter how powerful a charger is, the maximum power it will be able to deliver is limited by your car?s charging capacity. For instance, while many fast charging stations are now capable of outputting 400 kW, most EVs can only take up to around 125 kW to 150 kW. If you?re unsure about your car?s capacity, you can search for your model?s specs here. Also, every charging station goes through rigorous testing and complies with all measures in regard to safety before it?s allowed to be in use, which makes the station safe to use regardless of the high current. 2. Get the cable Once you have located and arrived at a fast charging station, the next step is to find the charging cable. Unlike home and AC public chargers, fast chargers always have a built-in, non-removable cable. This is because it needs to carry much higher power, which often requires active cooling ? to enable these high currents to run through these cables safely, a fast charging cable is much thicker and heavier than your typical home charging cable. Given that the cable is always built-in to the station, the only aspect to check is whether the cable?s plug fits with your EV?s socket. Generally, this is standardized across regions, but you can check your EV?s connector here. 3. Connect the car to the charging station If your car?s charging port matches the cable?s plug, you can connect the two. Note that you might need to lift a flap to reveal the entire fast charging connector, which is usually different and bigger than the AC charging port. While the charging port is usually located on the rear side of an EV (similar to a fuel cap), some models place the socket in other locations, such as at the front bumper. It?s worth checking that you?ve parked your car correctly and will be able to reach the charging port with the cable. 4. Authenticate and start the session After you?ve connected your car to the charging station, the next step is to start the charging session. Exactly how you start varies depending on the station and its operator, but you will generally need to authenticate yourself through an app or a fob. This lets the station arrange payment and charge the correct amount to your account. In some cases, fast charging stations can have built-in card readers, allowing you to start charging immediately without needing an app or account. Once you?re authenticated or have made the payment, charging will start automatically. Regardless of how you decide to pay, you?ll likely find that fast charging tends to cost more than home charging or AC public charging. This is because, on top of the kilowatt price of electricity, fast chargers usually add a premium for the speed and convenience of their service and to recoup their significant upfront investment. 5. End the charging session When your car reaches the desired battery level, it?s time to end the session. How you end charging depends on how you started it. For instance, if you authenticated yourself through an app, you can use it to end the session. Alternatively, if you started the session using a fob, you will likely need to tap the fob again to end it. In any case, most fast charging stations will come with interactive displays that show you the session?s status and often allow you to end charging directly from the station. Keep in mind that you can?t just take out the charging cable without ending the session, as it is locked onto your car. Even once charging is ended, you might also need to unlock the port directly from your car. Finally, you need to put the charging cable back into its socket on the charging station, and you?re ready to go! As electric vehicles become ubiquitous, the demand for fast charging will only increase in the coming years. While it can be a new and unfamiliar experience, we hope the above guide provided you with a helpful overview of using a fast charging station." ]

"EV Charging, Charging cable"

"How to charge an electric car in public"

[ "As electric mobility adoption grows, drivers are experiencing the freedom of being able to charge their electric vehicles (EVs) in a range of locations. While the most popular EV charging location is the home, public charging is also vital for many, with 31 percent of EV drivers regularly charging in public and commercial parking spots. While using a public charger is not rocket science by any means, there are some things to consider, and the process may be significantly different from charging at home. This article explains the basics of public charging and guides you through the 4 main steps you need to follow to charge your electric car at a public charging station. What is public EV charging? Before we dive into the specifics of using a public EV charger, it?s worth defining what exactly it is. While there are many different types of public EV chargers, typically, a public charger refers to a charging station that is publicly accessible and usable. In other words, unlike a home charging station, a public charger is not owned by the EV driver. As such, public charging stations encompass everything from fast chargers at a highway service station to chargers in public parking garages and stores. Now that we?ve defined what a public charger is, let?s take a look at how to use one. How to use public electric car charging stations 1. Get the charging cable Once you have arrived at a public charging station, the first step is to look for the charging cable. In many cases, the cable will be built-in and attached to the charger itself, however, in some cases, you might need to use your own cable to connect the car to the charger. Typically, this is provided by your car?s manufacturer and is often stored in the trunk. Of course, connectors and cables vary based on the region and the type of charger, so it?s worth checking what?s used where you live. 2. Connect the car to the charging station After you have found the charging cable, the next step is to use it to connect your car to the charging station. If the cable is built-in to the charger, you just need to connect it to your car?s charging port. This is generally located in the same place where a fuel cap would be on a gas car ? on either side ? although some models place the socket under the badge at the front. Many cars have different connectors for regular and fast charging, so if the charging plug looks unfamiliar, it may be because of that. Generally, most cars will support fast charging, so if the plug fits in the socket, your vehicle should be compatible. If it doesn?t, don?t force it, as it?s probably not the right cable for your car. If you?re using your own cable, you?ll need to connect it to the charging station as well as your car. Generally, this will be readily visible, although the socket might have a protective cover that you need to lift. 3. Authenticate and start the session Once the car and the charging station are connected, it?s time to start the charging session. To begin charging, you will usually first need to authenticate yourself so the charging station can arrange payment to your account. This is often done using a keycard, fob, or a dedicated smartphone app, depending on the charger. On some stations, you might be able to start the charging session directly by touching your debit or credit card. As soon as the charger has identified you, charging will begin. This is often reflected by LEDs on the charger and on some cars, which will change color or start blinking in a given pattern (or both). While the vehicle is charging, you can monitor the process on the car?s dashboard, the charging station, or the charging app (if you?re using one). 4. End the charging session When your EV has reached the desired level of charge, it?s time to end the charging session. This is generally done the same way as you started it: swiping your card or fob again on the charging station or stopping it through the app. While charging, the charging cable is typically locked to the car to prevent theft and minimize the risk of an electric shock. Once you?re done charging, you might need to unlock the cable from the car?s dashboard before you can remove it. The final step is to unplug the cable and put it back on the charger (if it was built in) or into your trunk (if you?re using your own). Your EV is now charged and ready to go! How does EV charging work? While the above steps have described how to use a public charging station, you may be wondering, how exactly does EV charging work? And what are some factors that determine differences between charging stations? Generally, all charging stations operate under the same principle: they charge an EV?s battery by feeding power into it. However, they vary in the current type and the power intensity they can deliver. AC and DC charging The main difference between charging stations is whether they provide alternative current (AC) or direct current (DC). Without getting too technical, the difference between the two is that with AC, the current flow alternates a set number of times a second, while direct current flows at a fixed level. Globally, our electric grids run on AC; however, most electronics, including EV batteries, store electricity in DC. As such, conversion from AC to DC needs to happen somewhere in the charging process. The difference between charging stations, then, is where this conversion happens. With AC charging stations, alternating current is delivered to the car, where a built-in converter changes it to DC. With DC charging, on the other hand, power is converted into DC by the charger, allowing it to bypass the often slower onboard converter and feeding it directly into the car?s battery. Because of this, the fastest EV chargers will almost always deliver DC ? hence the often used name of DC fast chargers. In practice, the fastest DC charging stations can provide up to 350 kW of power, which can charge an EV in around 15 minutes. DC fast chargers are also essential for long-distance travel with EVs, allowing them to recharge their batteries quickly on the go. An electric car parked by the side of the road while being charged. Why should I charge my electric car at public charging stations? If you?re new to EVs, you might be wondering why you would choose to charge at public charging stations in the first place. After all, home charging is convenient and provides more than enough range for most daily commutes. Unlike a gas car, which you would only refuel when running low, EVs can be charged pretty much wherever there is a power source. As such, this opens the door to opportunistic charging, or the possibility of charging an EV because it is convenient and accessible, rather than out of absolute necessity. Imagine, for example, that you?re coming home from work and stop at the supermarket to buy some groceries for the week. If the supermarket has public EV chargers, you may decide to plug your car in while you shop and top up your battery. For this reason, it?s not surprising that today, 26 percent of EV drivers regularly charge at supermarkets, 22 percent at shopping malls, and 31 percent in public or commercial locations in general. How to find public car charging stations Unlike gas stations, which are a familiar sight along our world?s roads and are easily found nearly anywhere, public charging stations can be much more discrete and are found in a range of locations. The easiest way to find public charging stations is by installing a charging station finder app on your smartphone. While there are many different ones, they generally all share the same features of showing you chargers in your vicinity as well as important information such as the charging speed, number of chargers, and availability. General maps apps, such as Google and Apple Maps, can also show you public charging stations, however, they may not show all chargers in an area and are generally missing most of the real-time information discussed above that a dedicated charging app can provide. How to pay at public car charging stations Another important consideration with public EV charging is payment. Unlike a gas station, which often has attendants and a cashier, charging your EV is always a self-service activity. As such, you have to arrange payment yourself and will almost never be able to use cash. Broadly speaking, you can pay for EV charging in two main ways. The first is if you have an account with a charge point operator or mobility service provider. In this case, you will usually receive an RFID card or fob that allows you to identify yourself at public charging points. In this case, charging costs are generally added to your account and billed later. The other option some public charging stations offer is to pay for charging directly by contactless debit or credit card or through the charging app. This can provide more flexibility by allowing you to use charging stations from different networks. However, some operators can charge higher fares when payment is made by card directly, and you won?t be able to track your spending as easily.

While public EV charging can be a new and unfamiliar experience, it unlocks incredible flexibility and can adapt to your life and habits. We hope this article has answered your questions about public charging and cleared up any doubts you might have had. ]

"EV Charger, Home charging station"

"How to charge an electric car at home"

[ "As electric mobility gains prominence across the world, charging an electric vehicle (EV) is becoming an everyday activity for many households. However, while charging an EV at home offers great flexibility and convenience, it is a lot different from refueling a gas-powered car at the pump and ?like any new experience? can be daunting at first. How do you charge an electric car at home? At a fundamental level, charging an EV works much the same way as any electronic device with a battery ? an EV needs to be plugged into a power source from which it can draw electricity to recharge its battery. The simplest way to charge an EV is to plug it into a standard wall outlet: this does not require any special equipment aside from a charging cable that is typically included with the car. However, this is the slowest way to charge and only adds about 4 miles of range every hour. It is also the least safe as there is no protection from your charger overloading your home?s electrical circuit and causing damage to your network. A safer, faster, and more convenient alternative is a dedicated home charger. The principle remains the same, except that a charging station is installed by an electrician and can handle greater loads of charging an EV. As such, it can deliver much higher power and achieve faster charging speeds than a home outlet. While using a dedicated home charging station is about 3 to 7 times faster than charging it with your regular outlet, charging on the go at level 3 DC fast charging stations is even faster. Some of these rapid chargers can charge up your car in as little as 15 minutes (depending on the charger?s power output and your car?s battery). However, getting this type of speed at your home is simply not possible, as your home?s electrical supply cannot deliver the high power required for level 3 fast charging. Why should I charge my electric car at home? Charging at home is the preferred way to charge for 64 percent of EV drivers, and it?s easy to understand why. For one, charging at home is the most convenient: instead of having to go out of your way to find a public charger, you can simply plug your car in whenever you come home from work and charge it while you're not using it. Charging at home is also usually cheaper than charging publicly, as you avoid the additional fees that public charging operators add for offering the service. There is no doubt about it, home charging is one of the most convenient ways to charge your EV. Do I need to buy a home EV charging station? You may be asking yourself, then, do I need to buy a charging station to charge my car at home? In a nutshell, the answer is no, but there are some things to consider. While you can charge your car by simply plugging it into a power socket at home, the safety, speed, and convenience of a home charger are worth considering. So, while purchasing and installing a charging station has a price tag, this expense might be well worth it for its efficiency and simplicity for everyday usage. A woman is parking her electric car in the driveway, while another woman is getting out of the car. On the right, an EVBox Elvi home charging station is mounted on a wall and ready to charge. Still, there may be situations where you can?t install a home charger, either because of a lack of room, no adequate wiring set-up around your parking space, or not having a parking spot to begin with. This doesn't mean you can't get an electric car though, as there are many options to charge it elsewhere. Charging at home without an EV home charging station Charging your EV at home without a charging station is as simple as plugging the cable that came with your car into a standard socket. However, this way of charging tends to be extremely slow and offers no protection against potentially dangerous power overloads. To give you an overview of charging speed, a standard 2.3 kW home power outlet would take about 24 hours to charge up a medium EV with a 50 kWh battery (such as a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range) to 80 percent. On top of that, given that EV charging is a highly energy-intensive activity, it can easily overwhelm your home?s electrical circuit if not managed properly Charging your car without a charging station can put your home?s energy supply under strain and, if you're not careful, even pose a fire hazard. Charging at home with an EV home charging station Home charging stations are specifically designed to handle energy-intensive loads and offer more control. Having a home EV charging station unlocks much greater power and charging speed. On average, it would take a dedicated EV home charger between 3 and 7 hours to charge a medium EV. This is a noticeable difference. Even a ?slow? home charging station is likely to charge your EV overnight, whereas charging via the standard socket will at least take 3 times longer. The 5 steps to charge an electric car at home While the specifics can vary between charging stations, brands, and even car models, it generally requires the following steps: 1. Get the charging cable Once you have parked your car, the charging cable is the first thing to look for. While many home charging stations have a built-in cable, others may require you to plug in your own. In those cases, you can typically use the charging cable your EV?s manufacturer provided (It's usually stored in your car?s trunk). Good-to-know side note: cables and connectors change depending on where you live. 2. Plug the cable into the car A closeup of a hand holding a charging cable and plugging it in an electric car's charging socket. The next step is to connect your car to the charger with the cable. For this, you need to locate your car?s power socket ? this is often found in the same place where a fuel cap for a gas-powered vehicle would be, in other words, on either side. Some manufacturers place the charging port in other places, such as under the badge next to the front trunk. 3. Plug the cable into the home charging station If the cable is not already attached to the charging station, the next step is to plug the cable into the charger. Generally, the socket on the charging station will be readily visible, although you might need to lift a protection cap before you can plug the cable in. 4. Start the charging session Once you have connected the car to the charging station, the next step is to start the charging session. Broadly speaking, this can take two forms, depending on whether your charging station is open or closed. With an open station, charging starts as soon as the cable is connected, and no authentication is required. This is the case for many home chargers in private driveways or garages that are not publicly accessible. In the case of a closed charging station, the user is required to authenticate themselves, typically using an RFID card or fob, or through a charging app. Once the station recognizes the user and authorizes the process, the charging session will start. A person is starting the charging session of a white electric car with an EVBox Elvi home charging station that is mounted of the wall of a cabin. Usually, once the charging session has started, colored LEDs on the charging station will change color or flash in a given pattern. 5. End the charging session When your car is charged to the desired level, it?s time to end the charging session. During the charging session, the connector is typically locked to the vehicle. This is a safety measure to prevent theft or being on the receiving end of high voltage. So, to disconnect the cable, you'll first need to end the charging session. Just like starting it, this is done either through an app or by swiping your RFID fob or card. Once the charging stops, the colored LEDs will change (or stop blinking). The last thing to do is unplug the cable from the car and return it to the charging station (if it is built-in) or, in the case of detachable cables, unplug it from both the vehicle and charger and return it to your car. You are now charged and ready to hit the road again! While charging at home is by no means rocket science, it can be unfamiliar for many new EV drivers, so we hope the steps above provide a helpful overview. ]

"Home charging apps, Charging stations"

"Home EV charging data and insights: how to benefit"

[ "The home is ?by far? the most popular location to charge an electric vehicle (EV). With the skyrocketing number of EVs on the road, we expect the transition from the gas pump to home charging stations will only increase in the coming years. And we?re not alone in that assessment. To manage this expected growth, governments are introducing new regulations mandating connectivity to standardize technological developments and make EV charging more accessible to all. While the connectivity of a charging station can bring many benefits, it also enables you to monitor and control your charging sessions via a charging app. With the digital charging assistant on your smartphone, you can start and stop your charging sessions from your couch. However, there is more to it. Indeed, home charging apps can unlock a range of insights and data. In this article, we will take a closer look at how you can benefit from those insights. How to benefit from home EV charging insights? Thanks to the connectivity between a charging station and an app on a smartphone, drivers can collect useful performance data of their charging station and get specific insights on their charging sessions. But what does this mean? Well, with this data you can help keep electricity consumption under control, keep track of renewable energy usage, schedule charging sessions to optimize energy costs and renewable energy usage, and manage multiple users or even charging stations. Let?s look at each of these benefits in a bit more detail below. Control energy consumption An often overlooked benefit of connected charging and charging apps is the ability to see your power consumption in real time. While many don?t realize it, EV charging is an energy-intensive activity that can put your home?s electrical supply under pressure. While energy use varies greatly between EVs and charger types, a dedicated home charger can deliver between 7,4 kW and 22 kW (or 7,400 and 22,000 watts) of power to an EV. By comparison, a dishwasher uses between 1,050 and 1,500 W: in other words, charging your EV uses 7 to 14 times as much energy as running your dishwasher*. As such, plugging in your EV to charge may overwhelm your home?s supply if too many other appliances are also using power simultaneously. For instance, if you?ve come home from work and are making dinner with an electric stove, the oven, and the dishwasher on at the same time, your household energy usage and electrical circuit might not allow for also charging your car. By gaining information on energy usage, connected charging allows you to optimize the times when you charge your car and ensure your energy consumption stays within optimal levels. If you have solar panels and a renewable energy integration with your charging station, some EV charging apps will allow you to keep track of and even manage your renewable energy usage. Save on your electricity bill Viewing insights on energy consumption is also helpful for checking how much you currently pay for EV charging and discovering ways to reduce charging costs. Electricity is commonly billed per kilowatt-hour (kWh), where you pay a given amount per kWh you use. In many cases, utility companies provide differentiated pricing, where electricity used during peak times costs more and off-peak costs less. This varies greatly between countries, cities, and utility companies, but generally, off-peak times tend to be at night and during weekends, when energy consumption across the grid is lower. By comparing how much you pay for charging during peak times rather than off-peak, you can determine whether the additional cost is worth it for your needs and, if necessary, choose to charge during off-peak times instead, by scheduling charging at night. Depending on your charging station and app, there is even a smart charging functionality called load shifting that can automatically arrange this for you. Manage multiple users and charging stations Beyond managing energy consumption and saving costs, a charging app can also separate data and insights for multiple users and charging stations. This is relevant in the case where you own more than one electric vehicle (or charging stations) and you want to keep track of the charging insights separately. But this can also be relevant for multi-unit residential buildings and apartment complexes, where EV charging stations are shared between residents. In these situations, getting accurate information on energy consumption for billing can be challenging, especially if charging stations are freely accessible. Connected charging can help overcome this by tracking energy use precisely and accurately allocating consumption to specific users. Charging apps can unlock a range of insights that can streamline home EV charging by tracking energy consumption, optimizing costs, and seamlessly managing multiple users and charging stations." ]

"Charging apps, charging stations"

"EV charging apps: what's the difference?"

[ "Whether you're charging your car at home or using a public charging station, electric car charging often goes hand-in-hand with a charging app on your smartphone. However, there are many different charging apps out there with different functions, features, and use cases. How can you differentiate between them? 1. Public EV charging apps The type of EV charging app most people think about first is a public charging station finder. These apps mainly consist of a map that shows all the charging points in a given area and includes details such as the sort and number of charging stations. There are many different public charging apps that can be downloaded either for free or for a small fee. Of course, other apps like Google or Apple Maps can also show charging stations around you. However, these services generally miss a lot of important details when you?re charging on the go, such as the status of a charging station and whether it is available, making them a less reliable option for planning journeys. Real-time availability A crucial piece of information when driving electric, especially on long-haul trips, is the availability of a charging station on your route. Having to wait for the previous user to finish charging could add considerable extra time to your journey. Even with a fast charging station, it takes at least 15-20 minutes, so knowing whether a charging station is available ahead of time is beneficial to a smooth trip. Using a charging app, you can check the availability of charging stations on your route and find out whether they are occupied. If they are, the app can help you find the nearest alternative that fits your trip, ensuring you don?t spend time waiting for charging stations to free up. Live status Beyond a charging station?s availability, its status is also important to consider when planning a charging stop. Like many other appliances, charging stations can sometimes break down due to hardware or software faults or problems with the grid. In either case, turning up to a charger and finding it out of service is a frustrating?and often stressful?experience. A charging app can help monitor this aspect as well, letting you know when a charging station is out of order. As most public charging stations are connected to the internet, they can easily send information about their status in real-time to a database, which can then update charging apps with the charger?s status. This way, you can be notified if a charging station is out of service ahead of time and plan an alternative stop. Expected costs While most EV drivers charge their cars at home for everyday use, charging on-the-go is often required for longer trips. Generally, public charging costs more than home charging, as the charge point operator often adds a margin on top of the cost of the electricity used. As these differ between providers, it?s useful to check pricing ahead of time to select the most cost-efficient option for charging your car. A charging app can provide information about prices in one touch, allowing you to easily compare prices between charging stations. If you have multiple charging stations along your route and enough range, you would be able to decide to charge where it?s more convenient and cost-effective, rather than stopping to charge at the nearest available charging point, which may not fit your needs. Charging costs are particularly relevant if you?re planning to use DC charging, as it can be significantly more costly than slower AC charging. By checking beforehand, you can avoid any surprises. Charging speed Of course, charging speed is another key differentiator between charging stations. While an AC charging station can generally charge a car in a couple of hours, depending on the power output, a DC fast charger may be able to charge an EV up in as little as 15 minutes. Both have their advantages, and the most optimal charging speed depends on your needs at a given moment. Regardless of which one you opt for, a charging app can make it considerably easier to find a charger with the required speed. Indeed, some apps allow you to search for charging stations with a specific power output, ensuring it suits your needs. Charging experience and reviews Beyond practicalities about a charger?s functionality, another helpful feature of a charging app is the possibility to check other EV drivers? experience with a specific charging station and read reviews. In doing so, you can discover aspects about a charger that may not be obvious otherwise: for example, whether there are recurrent problems with a charging station or what kind of services that location offers. This is a useful way to get a feel for a location and ensure it has amenities that meet your needs. Going back to the example of a long-haul journey, you might want to ensure that the charger?s location will have restrooms, vending machines, or a caf‚, to name a few. 2. Home EV charger apps Besides public charging apps, which mainly serve as a tool for finding charging points, home charging apps give you control over a charging station in a domestic setting. It is typically provided by your charging station?s manufacturer and designed to work with your charger. Like public charging apps, these apps enable insight into the charging process and allow you to check the status of a charging session, manage your charger?s electricity consumption, and gain insights and collect data about energy usage. In turn, a home charging app gives you control over your charging station by allowing you to manage many of its features with a tap on your smartphone. For example, you can remotely start and stop the charging process, receive notifications when your EV is done charging, schedule charging sessions, set reminders, and track electricity consumption in real-time. All these features become very useful for homeowners who would like to schedule charging, for example, to avoid charging during peak hours, when the electricity (usually) costs the most, or to avoid powering many appliances at the same time. Dual compatibility of EV charger apps In some cases, a charging app can be used to manage both public and home charging, giving drivers the convenience of a single app for all their EV charging. This is often the case for home charging apps which also incorporate a map of available public charging stations, allowing users to find and manage chargers on-the-go as well. 3. Charging apps in electric cars For most EVs, controlling charging is not limited to an app on the driver?s smartphone. Indeed, electric cars typically come with preinstalled software that helps manage charging from within the vehicle, often in more precise ways than an external app does. This is because this app is constantly communicating with the car and can collect real-time data, which it can use to suggest adjustments to optimize battery life and charging. For instance, it may suggest that the driver slow down if it notices that battery use is higher than expected and the range needs to be maximized. Similar to public charging apps, in-car apps can also communicate with charging stations, allowing them to know the status, availability, and costs at a given location. With this information, the app could suggest route changes if the nearest charging station is unavailable or add or remove extra charging stops depending on your driving style. In-car charging apps can also be connected to the EV driver?s smartphone, allowing them to receive information and control charging remotely, similarly to home charging apps. As EV adoption grows, charging will become a more crucial consideration for drivers. A variety of charging apps can help manage this process, each with different strengths and uses in different situations. We hope this article has provided you with a good overview of the different types of charging apps and their strengths." ]

"Connected chargers, EV charging stations"

"The benefits of having a connected EV home charging station"

[ "Electric vehicles (EVs) have never been more popular than today, and many people are making the switch to electric driving. As a result, many are experiencing the concept of using electricity to charge their cars for the first time, as opposed to the familiar gas pump. What a lot of people don?t realize is that an electric car charger can be a lot more than a simple piece of equipment that you use to plug in your EV. Nowadays, most chargers ? especially more recent models ? tend to be connected, which can unlock a range of possibilities to enhance a user?s ability to control the charging process. Connected EV charging stations are growing rapidly. But what exactly is a connected charging station, and what are the benefits for you as a driver? What is a connected home EV charging station? As the name suggests, a connected EV charging station is a charger capable of establishing a wireless connection, typically via Bluetooth or the internet. It allows real-time communication between the charging station, the EV driver, and the maintenance and service provider. In other words, a connected charger can provide greater control to the EV driver and often even unlock insights into the charging process and user behavior. Typically, this connectivity is managed through a charging app, which allows users to view and control charging sessions and settings from their phones. But this connectivity also works in the background and makes it easier to optimize the station's performance, update its software, and even allow for easier troubleshooting. In comparison, a non-connected charger doesn?t allow any of these types of communication and is generally limited to simply charging an EV when plugged in. Is connected EV charging the same as smart EV charging? While ?connected EV charging? and ?smart EV charging? both sound like they could be interchangeable, they aren?t. While every smart charging station is connected, not every connected charging station has smart charging functionalities. With so many new terms floating around, it?s understandable to get confused, so let?s take a closer look at what smart charging is. Smart charging can?t be defined as simply one thing, it?s an umbrella term referring to various intelligent functionalities that can improve the charging experience greatly. Examples of smart EV charging features are dynamic load balancing, vehicle-to-home (V2H), or renewable energy integration. The benefits of having a connected EV home charging station Connected charging unlocks a series of benefits, both for the EV driver as well as the maintenance or service provider. From the driver?s perspective, the connectivity enables getting clear insights and having more control of charging sessions, while for the maintenance and service provider, it allows for easier performance optimization and in some cases, even remote software updates and troubleshooting. Connecting to a home charging app A connected charging station allows you as a user to manage your station more easily and monitor its performance by connecting it to a charging app on your smartphone or tablet. While there is a wide variety of charging apps available, in principle these applications are designed so that you can monitor the station?s performance, customize its settings to your preference, and control each charging session from start to finish. All from the comfort of your smartphone. In addition to these features, many charging apps offer a variety of charging management tools to help you collect data and insights, manage your energy consumption and costs, and ?if available? use smart charging features. Next to this, a charging app often will ask you for permission to automatically share diagnostics information, which can help improve the station?s software over time. While sharing data usage mostly happens in the background, charging apps tend to keep you updated on individual charging sessions. Most apps will often use notifications to tell you when the charging session is completed or when something went wrong and help you reach support and service. Receiving software updates Generally speaking, software updates are super common with most technological devices we buy today: your phone, laptop, TV, and in some cases even your toothbrush is now able to receive periodical software updates to improve the user experience, correct bugs, safeguard privacy, or even provide access to entirely new features. In order to receive software updates automatically, you need your device to be connected. The same goes for your charging station. In the long term, keeping your electric car charging station up-to-date with the latest software is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and data privacy, making a connected charger more future-proof than a standard, non-connected one. Having access to remote troubleshooting Finally, connected charging enables much more streamlined service and maintenance by giving providers real-time insight into a charger?s status and often allowing them to diagnose a problem remotely. In some cases, this can avoid having to schedule an in-person appointment altogether. For cases when a visit remains necessary, remote troubleshooting can still allow the repairer to gather information about the issue, letting them know which tools to bring and what parts to order before even making the appointment. This is beneficial for you as the charging station owner, as remote troubleshooting gives you immediate access to support and quicker clarity about potential next steps. But it?s also a lot better for the repairer, as they can reduce costs and time by eliminating unnecessary visits and having access to more accurate information. As more and more people discover electric driving and the convenient experience of charging their cars at home, connected EV charging is emerging as an advantageous way to manage the charging process more efficiently and keep chargers up-to-date." ]

"The top benefits of EV smart charging at home"

[ "As electric mobility establishes itself as a prominent part of societies around the world and electric vehicle (EV) sales are soaring, drivers are increasingly demanding efficient, easy-to-use home charging stations. Smart charging is an emerging concept that improves the user experience by unlocking insights into charging behavior and energy consumption, allowing drivers to stay in control of the charging process. It can also help optimize costs by enabling more informed decisions on when and how to charge. But what exactly does smart charging do to achieve all these benefits? In this article, we examine the five top smart charging benefits and explore how they can help improve efficiency, convenience, and cost-effectiveness. Is smart EV charging beneficial? Generally speaking, EV chargers don't come cheap, and getting one with smart charging functionalities is usually on the more expensive end. You may then understandably ask yourself whether the extra cost is really worth it. As we?ll see below, on the whole, the answer is most likely yes. Because a smart charger is connected to the internet, it allows you to manage and stay in control of your car?s charging process. As such, you can ensure charging adapts to your needs and there are even ways to use it and reduce your electricity bill. But there?s more to it. Let's dive a bit deeper into the 5 main benefits of smart charging. What are the benefits of EV smart charging? The connectivity enabled by a smart charger unlocks a series of benefits, ranging from improved control and insight, to automatically balancing energy usage, and, in the future, even electricity storage. We explore each of these in detail below. 1. Connectivity of EV charging stations While smart chargers can differ greatly in their specific feature set, they all have one aspect in common: the ability to establish a wireless connection between a vehicle and a station. This is enabled by the software built into the charging station, and is generally complemented by an internet connection that allows the user to control the charger remotely using a mobile app. This connectivity enables many opportunities for optimizing the charging process ? let?s take a look at some of them. Collect data insights of your EV charging sessions Thanks to its software, a smart charger can collect data and unlock useful insights into your charging station usage and electricity consumption. As a result, you can see how often you charge your vehicle, how much energy you consume, and at which times, allowing you to make more informed decisions about when and how to charge. Schedule car charging sessions Scheduled charging takes all its importance when you consider that on average, a car is parked 96 percent of the time. Of course, you could just plug it in and leave it charging whenever you are at home, but doing so is disadvantageous for your wallet and your car?s battery. Indeed, many utility providers offer cheaper off-peak prices at times when electricity demand is lower, such as at night or during the weekend. Scheduling your charging during these times allows you to save considerably in the long run. On top of the extra cost of charging during peak times, leaving a car on the charger can be detrimental to its long term battery health. EV batteries, like all lithium-ion batteries, age with every charge-discharge cycle, and lose some of their capacity over time. By setting a start time and maximum charge level, smart charging can ensure your EV is charged cost-effectively and in a way that maximizes its battery lifespan. Update your EV smart charging station automatically Another benefit of owning a smart charging station is that it can usually be updated remotely, thanks to its built-in internet connection. Not only can this add new features or improve existing ones after you?ve bought the charger, it can also safeguard privacy and data protection by ensuring the charger has the latest security patches. Gain access to remote troubleshooting The ability to monitor a charger remotely is not only beneficial for normal operation, it can also be of great value for troubleshooting errors when something goes wrong. Thanks to the connectivity enabled by a smart charger, drivers can be notified immediately of issues with charging, and can take steps to correct it remotely. In cases where a charger needs repairs, the manufacturer or installer may be able to remotely diagnose the error, allowing them to come prepared with the relevant parts and tools. In cases where the problem is software-related, they may even be able to fix the problem entirely remotely, without having to schedule an appointment in person. As such, remote troubleshooting is advantageous for both the EV driver and installer, especially if the installer is not based in the same city as the EV driver, as this will save a considerable amount of time and money on the trip. 2. Balance your energy flow Charging an EV adds a considerable load to the electrical circuit in your home. If not managed properly, it can overload the circuit and cause your breakers to trip. Dynamic load balancing is a smart charging feature that allows a charger to constantly monitor the power load on the circuit and intelligently distribute the available capacity to avoid overloads. This way, it can allow an EV to charge without tripping circuit breakers even if many other power-intensive appliances are turned on, such as during the evening or morning. In those cases, dynamic load balancing can automatically lower the power used by your EV to free up capacity for other appliances. Once those are turned off, the charging power can return to normal. If you own more than one EV, dynamic load balancing allows you to give priority to one car, ensuring it is charged first. 3. Leverage your EV battery capacity While currently, your EV?s battery is just a place to store electricity for driving, in the future, it could be a source of power for your grid, by feeding electricity back into it. This technology is called vehicle-to-grid (V2G), and refers to bidirectional power flows between an EV and the electrical circuit. A variation of vehicle-to-grid is vehicle-to-home (V2H), which allows an EV to be used as a source of power for an individual house or home. With V2H, you can complement or reduce the power you use from the grid, instead relying on the power stored in your car?s battery. This way, you can use V2H to power some appliances in your home during peak times, allowing you to avoid using expensive electricity from the grid. Then, you can charge up your EV?s battery during off-peak times, when prices are lower. V2H will be particularly useful for drivers who are looking to install a storage battery ? instead of having to buy an expensive dedicated battery and paying for installation, they will be able to simply leverage their EV?s existing battery. 4. Optimize sustainable energy usage A common consideration for EV drivers who also generate their own energy, for example through solar panels or wind turbines, is whether they can use that electricity to charge their cars. Smart charging can help you optimize the use of locally generated energy, by allowing you to easily control where the energy used to power your car comes from. For example, you can schedule charging during the afternoon to ensure high solar energy production, guaranteeing the electricity used to power your EV has been generated sustainably. Beyond reducing your carbon footprint, using your own energy can also help you save costs, by reducing the amount you need to purchase from the grid. 5. Save on electricity costs While installing a smart charger takes a certain investment, there are numerous features that can unlock significant cost savings over the charger?s life. By providing insights into the charging process and energy use, having a smart charger allows you to manage your electricity consumption and charge at times when you can save on your electricity bill. This goes beyond insights, potential automation in the future could enable you to optimize your electricity usage automatically. Charge during off-peak hours By scheduling charging at specific times, you can take advantage of off-peak prices, depending on your location, energy provider, and contract. These are used to incentivize consumers to shift their energy demand to quieter times, when there?s less pressure on the grid, and are usually available at night and during the weekend. Regularly charging your EV during these quiet times can save considerable amounts. Avoid meter box upgrades Another way smart charging can reduce costs is with dynamic load balancing. Because this feature can responsively adjust an EV?s power consumption during charging, it can allow you to keep using your existing meter box and electrical circuitry, without having to upgrade them to more powerful ones. Not only does that prevent the cost of buying a new meter box, but also, takes away the need for expensive installation work by an electrician, and avoids potentially higher monthly connection costs from your utility provider. Store energy Finally, vehicle-to-grid holds much future promise for saving costs, by allowing you to depend on your EV?s battery to provide power to the grid, or your house, in the case of vehicle-to-home. While V2G and V2H are still in development, smart chargers? connectivity means they can be upgraded at a later stage to support these new features, even if they don?t come with them today. As efficiency and convenience are increasingly important considerations for homeowners, smart charging offers a compelling tool for easily managing EV charging and keeping energy use under control. ]

"Solar Power, Solar panels"

"Can you charge your car with solar energy?"

[ "Our world?s dependence on fossil fuels has been increasingly challenged in recent years, from an environmental perspective, and supply and geopolitical issues. To combat these, many countries are seeking to reduce fossil fuel use, including in the transportation sector where electric mobility has emerged as a prominent new trend. As a result, electric vehicle (EV) sales have skyrocketed over the past decade. Whereas in 2012, only 120,000 electric cars were sold worldwide, by 2021, more than that many were sold each week. While this growth in electric mobility already helps replace the use of about 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, it also greatly increases electricity demand. At the same time, a challenge is to generate enough electricity sustainably. Indeed, the environmental impact of EVs is mainly determined by their manufacturing and the production of electricity used to power them. As such, there is an urgent need to boost renewable energy production, and one of the most popular renewable sources for the home is solar power. This article will explain what solar energy is and how you can use it to charge your electric vehicle. Can you charge your EV with solar power? In short: Yes you can, (and you don?t even need any smart charging feature to do so). However, before we explain how it works exactly, and what smart charging can add, let?s take a closer look at what solar energy is first. What is solar energy? When talking about solar power, most people picture the solar panels installed on roofs ? this, however, is technically different from what ?solar energy? means from a scientific point of view. Put simply, solar energy refers to the energy emitted by the sun, some of which makes its way onto Earth. This energy can be harvested to produce electricity under a process called photovoltaics. A photovoltaic (PV) panel, commonly referred to as a solar panel, is made up of hundreds of solar cells, each made of a semiconductor (typically silicon). This semiconductor absorbs sunlight and converts it into electricity by creating a current ? a flow of electrons. This electricity can be used to power a home or business, or fed back into the electricity grid. This photovoltaic process is what we commonly refer to as ?solar power?, at least in the context of energy generation in the home. In this article, we also use the common term ?solar panels? to refer to photovoltaic panels. The rising popularity of solar panels It?s easy to understand the appeal of solar power. Unlike fossil fuels, it is available across the world in enormous quantities and is completely free to use. It?s no surprise that global solar capacity doubled between 2018 and 2022, reaching one Terawatt (TW). By 2025, global solar capacity is expected to reach 2.3 TW ? for context, that?s twice the energy production of France and Germany combined. This increase is partially driven by individuals and households installing small-scale solar panels on their roofs, with a view of becoming more independent from the grid, cutting energy costs, and reducing their carbon footprints. In some parts of the world, generating energy through solar is also a way to give access to electricity to people who previously did not have it. For example, in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, this could be fundamental in extending energy access to millions of people. How does solar energy work with home EV charging? While solar panels on their own can significantly contribute to cost savings, coupling them with an electric vehicle can multiply their benefits. Instead of relying on power from the grid, solar panels can generate electricity that you can use to charge your EV, reducing costs and ensuring the electricity used to power your car is produced sustainably. Although a standard home solar installation is unlikely to power your EV completely, it can at least help generate some of the electricity used by your car. For example, on average in Western Europe a solar panel can generate about 1 kWh of electricity per day, meaning that a dozen panels will produce about 10 kWh of electricity daily (depending on your location). That is enough to provide a Standard Range Tesla Model 3 with about 42 km of range, far more than the average daily distance driven in the EU. Do I need to have a smart EV charging station if I want to charge my EV with solar energy? You may be asking yourself then, can you just use the power you generated from your solar panels to charge your car? The answer is a little more complicated than simply plugging your EV charging station into solar panels. The problem is that the power generated by a photovoltaic panel is uneven and highly variable and cannot be fed into an EV?s battery (or the electricity network) directly. In any case, any solar panel installation needs to have an inverter installed to convert the electricity so it can be fed into the electricity network at home and used to power appliances or charge your car. While having a smart charging station is not required to use electricity from solar panels, it can greatly help manage the charging process and control when and how much electricity from your solar panels is used to charge your EV. For example, with a smart charging station you can choose to only charge your EV when your solar panels output electricity. The charging station, in combination with an Energy Management System, can forecast when it?s the best time to charge. This ensures you use the energy you generate and guarantees it is produced sustainably, avoiding having to buy electricity from the grid. Can I store the electricity I produce with solar panels? A key challenge with solar power, but especially when it is used to charge EVs, relates to the difference in time of production and consumption. Indeed, solar power is mainly generated during the day, when the sun shines the brightest. However, most people tend to charge their EVs at night, once they have returned from work. A way to overcome this is to store the energy generated during the day and use it later, when it is needed the most. One way to do so is by installing a storage battery and connecting it to your solar panels. You can then charge the battery up during the day using the solar energy you generate and use it to power your home at night or when solar production is low. Three solar batteries and a home charging station installed inside a garage. In the background some solar panels and wind turbines are producing energy. Obviously, buying a storage battery and connecting it to your home?s electrical supply comes at a certain cost. Not including installation, a lithium-ion storage battery can cost between $7,000 and $14,000. Depending on your location, a cheaper alternative is to resell the excess electricity produced by your solar installation to your utility company or energy provider. This way, whenever you?re not using electricity ? for example, if you spend the day at the office ? you can feed the power from your solar panels back into the grid and get compensated for it. Net metering This ability to produce your own energy and sell it back to the grid operator is called net metering. While the specifics vary greatly between countries and utility companies, generally, net metering allows homeowners to get paid for providing electricity from renewable sources to the grid. Typically, with net metering, a bi-directional electricity meter will measure the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) sent into the grid versus the amount of electricity the house draws from the grid. For each kWh fed back to the grid, you earn a pre-agreed credit, which is deducted from your overall energy bill. This is a great way to reduce electricity costs, even if you cannot use the energy directly when your solar panels generate it. For example, even if you charge your electric car at night, you can still benefit from a lower electricity bill by selling your solar panels? production during the day and deducting it from your total electricity consumption. It?s worth keeping in mind that not all countries, states, and utility companies allow net metering. Currently, most US states and many EU countries allow net metering, however, fewer countries and utilities allow net metering in attempt to match supply & demand. Vehicle-to-home with solar integration Beyond storage batteries and net metering, a third option for storing energy is emerging as a promising future technology. Vehicle-to-home (V2H) is a form of vehicle-to-grid (V2G), allowing an electric vehicle to operate as a storage battery and deliver energy back at a later time. With V2H, you will be able to effectively use your EV as a storage battery by charging it when your solar panels generate the most energy, and using the energy stored in your vehicle during times when the sun doesn?t shine to power your home. Currently vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid are still emerging innovations and have not been deployed on a large scale. However, they can be pivotal for our electricity grids, by unlocking battery storage at a much larger scale and enabling easier access to renewable energy throughout the day. Leverage government incentives for solar As governments around the world are seeking to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, many are offering incentives for homeowners to install renewable energy sources, including solar. This may be in the form of a direct subsidy that refunds a part of the cost of the installation, a more attractive tariff for purchasing electricity with net metering, or even a tax rebate or a lower tax rate on energy bills. The UK, for example, offers a guaranteed feed-in tariff for homeowners installing solar panels, ensuring they can sell back the energy they produce at an attractive price. The incentives available for your property vary greatly depending on your country, region, and local authority, but generally, they can considerably reduce the cost of installing solar panels on your home. Keep in mind that on top of incentives for solar power, many countries also offer various benefits for installing an EV charging station, further cutting costs if you?re using solar energy to charge your EV. What is the future of solar energy? As the world pushes to transition away from carbon-intensive energy sources, renewables such as solar will play an increasingly crucial part in our electrical supply. Solar power is an attractive way for households to reduce their energy costs, gain independence from the grid, and guarantee sustainably generated electricity. Pairing solar panels with an electric vehicle unlocks further cost savings, allowing you to use the solar power you generate to charge your car. Smart charging can help you realize these savings by giving precise control over the charging process and ensuring optimal energy use. ]

"Smart Charging Station, EV charging station"

"EV smart charging regulations 2022 explained"

[ "Electric mobility has been unquestionably emerging in recent years and is expected to continue growing exponentially in the coming decade. Just consider that 2 million electric vehicles (EVs) have been sold globally in the first quarter of 2022, a 75 percent increase from the same period in the previous year. What?s more, a total of 65 million EVs are projected to be on the road by 2030. This drastic growth in EV use is placing power grids under strain, and meeting the growing electricity demand is an ongoing challenge for countries across the world. To combat this, governments and individuals are looking at smart charging as a way to manage EV charging loads and optimize energy use. By enabling connectivity between a charger and the end user, an EV smart charger allows easy monitoring and control of the charging process. This shows great potential for reducing the strain on power grids by allowing EV charging to automatically adjust to changes in load on the grid. This article explores the regulatory environment around smart charging and discusses the policies that the UK is pursuing. What is EV smart charging? Smart charging, also sometimes called intelligent charging, is an umbrella term that can be quite puzzling. So let?s break it down. The textbook definition is as follows: Smart charging is a recharging operation in which the electrical power delivered to the battery is adjusted dynamically based on communication signals. In layman?s terms, an intelligent battery charger allows communication between an electric vehicle and a charging station. By exchanging data and information, the user has more control over and insights into the charging process and energy usage. The insights generated by smart charging can be particularly useful for an EV driver, who can decide when and how to charge their vehicle based on charging and cost data. A smart EV charger can also monitor changes in load on the electrical circuit automatically and adjust the charging process accordingly to prevent overloads. Why smart EV charging regulations? Installing a smart EV charger unlocks many advantages, both for EV drivers and the grid operator, by making charging more predictable and allowing easier management of peak electricity loads. In addition, the energy system at large will benefit as smart charging allows for more optimal integration of renewable energy sources. To ensure EV smart chargers meet certain requirements, governments are increasingly bringing in new regulations. Generally speaking, these regulations are meant to optimize the charging experience in a few different ways. User-friendly and accessible EV charging One of the most crucial aspects of a charging station is its ease of use. A driver should be able to easily understand how a charger works and use it effortlessly. In fact, our research shows that 54 percent of EV drivers say that an easy-to-use interface is one of the most important aspects to consider when choosing a charging station. As such, a smart charger needs to ensure it is intuitive and accessible, especially in terms of the software interface that connects the charging station to the user, such as a charging app. In some ways, there is a challenge in balancing the quantity of data and insights available to a user, without making the charging interface overly complex or difficult to understand. Remote EV charging troubleshooting and software updates Connectivity is a key feature that differentiates a smart charging station from a normal one and enables remote troubleshooting and diagnostics. This way, the charging station provider can easily access a charger?s status and diagnose if something is wrong in real-time. With 1-out-of-4 EV drivers putting (preventive) maintenance services on top of their wish list when purchasing an EV charging station, the need for these types of services is clear. Not only can this provide immediate troubleshooting, but it also allows technicians to fix some errors entirely remotely, eliminating the need for an in-person visit. Additionally, a smart charger keeps the driver informed about the charging process and alerts them immediately if something goes wrong. Beyond troubleshooting, connectivity also enables a smart charger to receive periodic software updates, unlocking new features and constantly improving the charger?s user experience. The energy efficiency of EV charging stations Besides ease of use and connectivity, energy efficiency is an essential consideration for a charging station: our research shows that 65 percent of EV drivers consider energy efficiency as their main priority when purchasing an EV charger. By unlocking insights into the charging process, smart charging allows you to optimize your EV?s energy use and keep costs under control. For example, you can choose to schedule charging during off-peak hours, where you may be able to benefit from a cheaper electricity tariff, and the strain on the grid is lower. A transparent EV charging experience As mentioned above, a smart charging station enables real-time control and monitoring of the charging process, which helps guarantee transparency, something 32 percent of EV drivers consider when purchasing an EV charging station. Indeed, EV drivers can know precisely how much power their car consumes at a given moment or what price they are paying for their electricity use. This way, they can understand ways to reduce their consumption or manage costs by optimizing the times in which they charge their EVs. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) ready Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is an emerging technology that enables two-way power flows between an EV and the power grid. Put simply, V2G will allow an electric car to temporarily provide power back into the grid, allowing it to act as a storage system that helps even out peaks in demand. As grid operators can leverage these bidirectional flows to manage increasing power demand and prevent overloads. The energy system at large can benefit from the massive storage potential of electric vehicles; aggregated EV fleets could turn their batteries into virtual power plants that can provide power when needed or store renewable energy. Of course, government regulations will be crucial in guiding V2G rollout and ensuring smart charging stations meet adequate specifications for V2G capability. EV smart charging regulations overview? Depending on your location, smart charging regulations are either in place or in development. To make sense of it all, we?ve created an easy-to-grasp overview of smart charging regulations for The United Kingdom, Europe, and the US. The United Kingdom Globally, the UK leads smart charging regulations, already having adopted a concrete package of measures governing the use of EV chargers. According to the Smart Charge Points Regulations, as of 30 June 2022, all EV chargers sold in the UK for home or workplace use must support a certain level of smart functionality and meet a set of minimum requirements. These regulations concern mainly connectivity, privacy and security, off-peak charging, and phased charging times. What does it mean for EV drivers and homeowners? With the introduction of these smart charging regulations, all new sales of EV chargers in the UK must offer a set of minimal features. At the time of writing this article, many EV charging products on the UK market are not yet (fully) compliant. However, they will be soon. To clarify what these new mandatory features are and how they will impact you as an EV driver in the UK, we?ve created an overview below. Connectivity A core requirement of the new regulation is that all EV chargers must have an integrated data connection that measures and communicates electricity usage during the charging session. At the same time, this monitoring system allows the charging station to automatically delay or slow the charging, for example, if electricity demand is too high. Connectivity will typically be managed through an app that allows the user to access information generated by the charging station and manage the process according to their needs and preferences. This ability to monitor a charger will also be beneficial for the manufacturer to notice and troubleshoot problems remotely. Off-peak charging To combat peaks in electricity demand, all new chargers sold from 30 June 2022 must be set by default to avoid charging during peak hours, specifically between 8 am and 11 am and 4 pm to 10 pm. This is aimed at increasing grid stability and allowing grid operators to produce electricity more evenly by smoothing out peaks in demand. It is also intended to manage future EV sales growth, ensuring they don?t overload the power grid and cause disruptive blackouts. Of course, this default setting won?t limit the user, as it can be overridden manually by an EV driver if needed. This way, the user will still be allowed to charge whenever they want but will be nudged to charge at times that are more optimal for the grid ? and their wallet. Indeed, it?s worth considering that many utilities offer cheaper off-peak tariffs at night when electricity demand is lower. As such, this default setting can generate important savings for EV drivers, without them even realizing it. Delayed charging/ Phased charging times To avoid a peak in electricity demand at 10 pm from millions of EVs starting to charge simultaneously, the government requires chargers to be able to delay charging by up to 1800 seconds, or 30 minutes, to protect the electricity grid. This way, EVs can start charging in phases, smoothing out the increase in demand over a longer period, thus making it more manageable. As with the previous features, EV drivers will always stay in control and can manually override the delay if they wish to charge immediately. A professional photo of an high-voltage tower with clouds in the background. Privacy In a second phase of the new regulations, coming into effect from 30 December 2022, charge points will also be required to meet certain privacy and security standards. In terms of privacy, chargers will need to ensure all data sent to and from the station is encrypted and protected to safeguard user privacy and mitigate the risk from cyberattacks. The regulations also require users to be able to easily control what data they share and provide ways of deleting any personal data that has been collected. By default, this information will only be retained for 12 months. Security Another set of requirements effective from 30 December 2022 relates to security. According to this policy, a charger must be ?designed, manufactured and configured to provide appropriate protection against the risk of harm to, or disruption of, the electricity system and the relevant charge point.? In other words, chargers will need to ensure they are created in a way that safeguards the user?s safety, prevents damages to the charger, and guarantees the charger won?t disrupt the electrical grid, for example, by overloading it. What if I already have a charging station? You may be wondering how this affects you if you already own a charger. The good news is that if you installed a charging station before 30 June, it is exempt from these requirements and will continue working even if it doesn?t have any of the above-mentioned features. However, if you upgrade your charger, or install another one, it will need to meet the new requirements and be capable of smart charging. ]

Therefore, you shouldalways help someone in need on the road, whenever it is possible andsafe. The question remains, what is it that leaves you stranded onthe road?

The same goes for yourtyres. The main raw material that is used in manufacturing tyres isrubber. The production of this raw rubber is done by mixing liquidlatex with acids that solidify it. The polymers that are found incrude oil are used to produce synthetic rubber. Other chemicals suchas sulphur are also the ingredients that provide a tyre with theright amount of friction after heating.DesignThetread, the body along with the sidewall and the beads make the mostof a tyre used in passenger cars. The part of the tyre which is incontact with the road is the tread. The tyre gets its specific shapeby the body. The body also provides support to the tread. The tyre isheld on the wheel by beads. Tyre designing is chiefly done bycomputer systems nowadays to ensure top-notch performance levels andexcellent safety for your loved ones.TheManufacturing ProcessSpeciallyformulated rubber is wrapped in multiple layers around a drum ofmetal in a machine that forms tyres. The strips that form differentparts of the tyres are sliced and positioned by a skilled assemblerpresent in the forming machine. At this point, the tyre is called a"green tyre". For curing, this tyre is then brought to amould.Thefirst step in the manufacturing process is the formation of rubbercompounds by mixing raw materials.Thesecond step is milling each mix with extra heat. This mixes thechemicals well and softens the batch.QualityControlQualitycontrol starts with the providers of raw materials. Any tyremanufacturer looks for the raw materials that are tested before beingdelivered to the plant. Tensile strength, density and otherproperties are tested by taking samples of rubber throughout themixing process. All the tyres from the assembly line are taken fordestructive testing. Puncture resistance and air pockets are checkedby pressing the tyres on metal studs and cutting them open,respectively.Somenon-destructive techniques of evaluation such as X-ray videographyare also used. In an X-ray image, tyre defects are easily spotted.TheFutureRubberchemistry is witnessing continuous improvement. This is resulting inthe development of exciting new tyre designs with greater mileage andresistance towards wearing. Experimentation with non-pneumatic tyresis being done.

Such is the roleof all-terrain tyres. All-terrain tyres are usually made for 4x4vehicles that meet challenging road conditions more often. Thesetyres can be considered as the one sentry against several enemies.The tyres cater to, both, off and on-road driving situations. Hence,they are named as All-terrain tyres:Tohelp you with the benefits you get when you buy all-terrain tyres, weoffer the following pros of these tyres:1.Reinforced sidewalls: As the tyres have to cater to various roughmountainous roads, they are manufactured with reinforced sidewalls.Reinforced sidewalls also help massive SUV to carry more load at thetime of trekking and travelling. Hence, these tyres can survive longon challenging roads on which other standard tyres would have givenup long ago.2.Aggressive tread: The treads of these tyres have block typedesigns. The blocks of treads help the tyres to grip muddy and wetroads better. The pattern also assists a vehicle in holding onto therocks and mountains excellently.3. Runall year: Justlike all-season tyres, all-terrain tyres also work appreciably allyear round.

Therefore,let us elaborate a little more on the cons of these tyres:1.Noise: Block design is the main reason for the increased noise ofall-terrain tyres. They transmit more and more road vibrations intothe passenger's compartment. Hence, if you want a quieter ride,all-terrain tyres are not at all recommended for you.2.Tread life: As the tyres are made up of softer rubber compound togrip the road better, they wear out faster than regular tyres.Average mileage that can be expected from these tyres are 40,000miles as opposed to 70,000 miles of standard tyres.3.Fuel efficiency: What is it that reduces the fuel efficiency of acar? It is the rolling resistance offered by the road to the vehicle.Rolling resistance significantly depends upon the contact made by thetyres and friction provided in return. All-terrain tyres are made upof softer rubber, and hence results in increased friction.

"Why Winter Tyres Are Different"

You cantwander off when you get bored from it. If you do linger from one artto the other, you will never become perfect in any of them. The sameis the case with the tyres of our cars.Most ofthe cars are installed with all-season tyres that promise to cater todriving requirements all year round. But only a few drivers know thehidden perils of all-season tyres. They do suffice the needs ofmoderate summers and winters but fail drastically when thetemperatures hit its extremes.Thus, inharsh winters, you will need a tyre that will stand firm even if theroad becomes mushy and uncertain.Wintertyres are made with only one intent in mind, that is, to offer anenormous amount of traction on slippery roads. These tyres aremanufactured by mixing high quantities of softer rubber into the mix.Adding natural rubber is an excellent way of achieving the task inhand. Further, silica is added to enhance the softness of thesetyres. All this pain is taken to impart the gripping abilities ofsofter rubber to the winter tyres.When thetemperature plummets down and falls below 7 degrees Celsius, standardtyres get frozen. Frozen tyres can also blow out in the middle of theroad. It is not the case with winter tyres. The softer rubber helpsit to maintain its shape and hence work just fine in cold winters.That isnot all; another astounding thing about winter tyres is their treadpatterns. Unlike summer tyres or all-season tyres, the grooves inwinter tyres are deeper and more prominent. This helps the tyres todisplace a considerable amount of water and prevents aquaplaning inreturn. Deeper grooves also hold the snow more effectively thanshallower ones. And, as we all know, nothing grips snow better thanthe snow itself, winter tyres fortifies the cause.The tyresare added with a number of smaller grooves and cuts on the sidetreads as well. The cuts are known as sipes, and are exclusive onlyto winter tyres tread design. Sipes provide these;tyresBirmingham;withbiting abilities, that assist them in holding the snow better.The onlyproblem that arises with the use of winter tyres is their storage insummers. Using winter tyres in summers can result in disastrouswearing and hence are suggested to be stored in committed facilities.While storing these tyres, one must keep the optimum temperatureconditions in mind. One should store winter tyres in a cool and dryplace. Further, the tyres should be kept away from the elements ofageing.In caseyou are looking to buy;wintertyres Birmingham,;driveyour vehicle to us, at TyreCity.We store high-quality winter tyres in large varieties.

[ "Doyou find your tyres wearing out sooner than expected? If yes, then itmight be time to get the wheels aligned according to the standardsset by the vehicles manufacturer. That is not all; prolongedalignment problems further seep into the suspension of the car. Ingeneral practice, wheels are aligned perpendicular to the vehicle andthe road, but that is not a hard and fast rule. Almost all of thecars that see the tracks use tilted wheels for easy manoeuvring. Whenwe talk about regular street vehicles, they have perpendicular wheelsto ensure lesser wearing of the tyres. Thereare a number of advantages attached to correct wheel alignment; someof them are as follows: 1.Fuel Economy: With proper wheel alignment, one can save highly onfuel.

Therefore, if you want to make fewer trips tofuel stations, get your wheels aligned regularly.2.Soothing ride: It is obvious that if the wheels are dangling andare out of position, they will always bother you on different levelsof comfort. Next in line, to the wheels, are the suspension of thecar. Aligning wheels will greatly help suspension with its working.Thus, ensure a high level of comfort.3.Improved performance: It is seen that with aligned wheels,steering a car becomes relatively easy. Not only the steering, butthe control on wet and dry roads also gets enhanced with thealignment of the wheels. While making tight corners, poorly alignedwheels will also cause mechanical damages. Hence, if you want toreduce your expenses on costly repairs, make sure to get your wheelsaligned.4.Long life of tyres: Last but not the least, tyres of a carbenefit the most from perfectly aligned wheels. When the wheels aremisaligned, they fall differently on the road. This results in theuneven wearing of tyres. Continuous wearing of tyres will lead tyresto develop bald patches. Balding of tyres can pretty quickly resultin tyre blowout. When you find your tyres worn out considerably, youwill be left with no other option but to get them replaced with newones.

Butas it is a machine oil becomes less effective or ineffective after atime of use and it should be replaced with fresh oil.Ignoringthis can have adverse effects on the various parts of your car andrapidly deteriorate their life.Whatis an Oil Change?Theprocess of changing the old engine oil with fresh oil is known as anoil change in the automotive industry. It needs to be done by aprofessional to ensure proper drainage, cleaning and, then,refilling. Inefficient work would result in the old oil mixing upwith the new oil you add and reduce its effects as well.Howis it done?Whenthe drain screw, found at the bottom of the engine, is opened, itdischarges all the oil. A disposal container is used to collect thisand disposed of later on. After draining the old oil, the drain screwis placed back into the car's pan and the old filter is replaced.After that, new oil is poured into the vehicle by accessing the spoutplaced at the top of the engine.Oneneeds to know the minute details of the oilchange processto ensure improvement in the cars performance levels.Needfor an Oil ChangeTheoil of the machine should be changed after some time, as it becomesold. It may cause problems like petroleum sludge, which might getstuck into the engine and causes several problems. This canfurthermore lead to disturbance in moving the parts of the vehicleand discomfort to passengers.Themajor signs of this problem are unnecessary sounds and vibrationsfrom the engine. Ignoring these sound and vibrations can lead to amajor issue known as engine-seizure. This basically means that theengine will be uselessAndalso means that you have to buy a new engine.Whatgoes wrong?Engineoil would rarely need to be changed. However, it is due to the pistonthat it needs to be done. Soot and water from combustion process seeppast the piston rings and get into the crankcase and mix with theoil. This means that it deteriorates not only the oil but the partsit has escaped through as well. Being used in high temperaturesreduces its quality as well.Thereare some myths about the oil change.Oneof them is that a driver has to take his car for an oil changeafter every 3,000 miles of driving. However, if he drives the vehicleproperly and in normal conditions, up to 7,500 miles can be achievedwithout the need for an oil change. Normal conditions stand for notowing, less driving in excessive traffic and less uphill driving.Whichis the right oil for your car?Firstof all, it depends on your car. Check the owners manual to know themanufacturers recommendation regarding the same. In most casesthey are correct. (I say most because today I saw a manual for a carwhere I know a 5W-30 should be used, but the manual says to use15W-40.)Carsengine oils are not universal. Different engines have differentrequirements. Thus, the oil viscosity varies from engine to engine aswell. Therefore, every manufacturer recommends the best engine oilfor their cars.Thereare two things that you need to check about the engine oil beforeusing it for your car.

Please noteonly garage employees are allowed to change the run-flathigh-performance wide tyres, as you need to be really good at the jobto do so.HowExperts Mount TyresTheold rubber has to be replaced before a new tyre can be pulled ontothe surface. This first step is done manually, and then the mountingsystem is used.Thegarage employee first jacks up the car to remove the wheel from theaxle. Then the air has to be released from the tyre. This isachieved by unscrewing the cap of the tire.Themounting system is next, so the bead breaker can separate the tyrewall from the surface.Thegarage worker puts the bead cutter on the tyre and rim and pushes ithard.Thetyre is then turned once and the process is repeated. Thisdisassembly stage means that the rubber bead, i.e. the inside circleof the tyre, is pushed over the rim hump.Theworker then clamps the rim in the mounting system and separates thesupport-weights from the edge. Then uses the mounting lever to placethe tyre bead over the mounting neck.It'sjust a case of pressing a button right now. The mounting system(tyre changer) is turned and the tyre is immediately taken out ofthe rim.ExpertTip:The surface hump is an elevation on the edge that stops the rubberfrom slipping and prevents air loss.Therim hump supports the retention cycle.Afterthe removal process is complete and before mounting a new tyre, thetechnician must verify that the tyre diameter and tyre age areright. If its adequate, the tyre mounting cycle will continue.ExpertTip: Cartyres should never be older than ten years old. You can use the DOTnumber to calculate the exact age. The manufacturing week and yearare labelled on the sidewall of the tyre.Thegarage worker first coats the tyre beads, both, inside and outsidewith a tyre-mounting paste or grease to make it easier to mount thetyre.Theemployee then clamps the rim on the mounting machine and uses themounting arm. To position the lower tyre on the upper edge of therim.

"Wheel Alignment"

[ "Whatis four wheel alignment?Adjusting theangles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground andparallel to each other is what we generally call wheel alignment. Itis a key aspect of your vehicle that can drastically affect theoverall performance of your car. A common misconception is aboutwheel alignment and wheel balancing being the same thing.Differencebetween Wheel Alignment and Wheel BalancingWheel alignmentis the correction of angles at which your wheels are to each otherand the car. When the alignment is out, it may cause excessive tyrewear and steering or tracking problems.Wheel balancingis the process of evening out the load on your wheels. Theirregularities of the wheel is corrected through this process toensure smooth and comfortable driving experience. An imbalanced wheelis prone to face irregular tyre wearing and cause discomfort whiledriving as well.Different TyreAnglesThe primaryangles are the basic angle alignment of the wheels relative to eachother and body of the car. These angles are the camber, caster andtoe.These threeparameters are further categorized into front and rear. Namely,front-caster(left and right), front-camber(left and right),front-toe(left and right), rear-caster(left and right)rear-camber(left and right), rear-toe(left and right).The secondaryangles include numerous adjustments, such as SAI (steering axisinclination-left and right),included angle(left and right,toe out onturns (left and right),maximum turns(left and right),toe curvechange,track width difference , wheelbase difference,front rideheight(left and right),rear ride height(left and right ), ,frameangle ,setback(front and rear).Camber;isthe angle of the wheel, measured in degrees, when viewed from thefront of the vehicle.If the top of the wheel is leaning out from thecenter of the car, then the camber is positive,if it's leaning in,then the camber is negative. If the camber is out of adjustment, itwill cause tyre wear on one side of the tyre's treadWhen you turnthe steering wheel, the front wheels respond by turning on a pivotattached to the suspension systemCaster;is the angle ofthis steering pivot, measured in degrees, when viewed from the sideof the vehicle.The;toe;measurementis the difference in the distance between the front of the tyres andthe back of the tyresSAI;is themeasurement in degrees of the steering pivot line when viewed fromthe front of the vehicleSet back;iswhen one front wheel is set further back than the other wheel.There are twomain types of 4-wheel alignments The technician will place aninstrument on all four wheels. In the first type the rear toe andtracking is checked, but all adjustments are made at the frontwheels. This is done on vehicles that do not have adjustments on therear. The second type is a full 4-wheel alignment where theadjustments are first made to true up the rear alignment, then thefront is adjusted. A full 4-wheel alignment will cost more than theother type because there is more work involved.At;Bewdley;carservice our technicians; will provide proper measure to ensurethe alignment and adjusting is perfect.

[ "Foryears, we have been using oxygen tyres with a mix of some noblegases. But with the advancements in technology, shouldn't we evolveas well? Let us expose you to a new era of tyres inflation, i.e.nitrogen inflated tyres. When, on one side, your oxygen tyres are 78per cent ammonia and 21 per cent hydrogen, nitrogen inflated tyresare a better alternative as they are not filled with such cluster ofgases. They also offer you a smooth ride. That's what you want,right?Benefitsof using Nitrogen Inflated TyresFire-safeFor manyyears down the lane, aviation and motor-sport industries have beenusing nitrogen. You might ask why? When a cheaper alternative ofnoble gases are available, why do these industries use nitrogen? Forsafety at high altitudes, it is advised to use nitrogen as it adds acertain weight to the tyre, giving you a better grip on hilly areas.Thoughfire safety is of great significance in motor-sports, but mostdrivers dont prefer using nitrogen inflated tyres just because ofits safety against the fire. The main reason for using them is thatthe tyres filled with nitrogen are more reliable, when it comes tocornering and steering of a car. EliminatesMoistureMoistureis known to corrode tyres and wheels. Corrosion on alloy rims leadsto leakage, which results in reduced handling, and uneven tyre wear.Eventually, humidity in any tyre can cause rust on steel rims aswell, which in turn, reduces your tyres life. Whereas,oxygen brings moisture along with it, which can disturb your handlingon wet and snowy roads, using nitrogen tyres help in handling a carbetter.Inflatedfor longNitrogenreplaces smaller molecules of oxygen with larger molecules of itskind; this reduces the rate at which compressed gas is lost from thetyre. In theory, this means that a nitrogen-filled tyre retainsoptimal pressure for long, which results in more uniform tyre wearand decreased fuel consumption. So kudos to that!WhyBuy NitrogenNitrogencan be expensive at times, but at the end of the day, if it benefitsyour vehicle, there's no better choice than investing in it. We alllove our earth, right?

"Run-Flat Tyres: How do they work?"

"Tyres Wednesbury, Tyres Bilston"

[ "Run-Flat Tyres: How do they work?The reason that flat tyres still work after a puncture is that they have reinforced sidewalls. Whereas, standard tyres rely on air to support the vehicle. Run-flat tyres have stronger support rubber. It helps your vehicle after a puncture. Even though run-flat tyres allow you to drive after a puncture, one must remember that this can only be done at a specified and limited speed and distance. It needs to be noted that these specifications vary for every run-flat tyre.Vehicles fitted with run-flat tyres must be equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system. It is because stiffer sidewalls make it difficult to predict when the air pressure will deflate. Most vehicle-owners go through a dilemma of whether or not to buy run-flat tyres.Benefits of using Run-Flat Tyres;The first benefit is that you do not have to stop driving even if your car's tyre gets punctured. Be it for a limited amount of time, but you can keep driving your vehicle even after a puncture if it is fitted with run-flat tyres. Another benefit is that run-flat tyres are comparatively stable. Also, not to forget, once you get these tyres fitted, you no longer have to carry your tool kit. Which means, extra space! It will definitely help you during long journeys.Are they worth it?It's the 21st century. Perfection and performance cannot be compromised. For someone with this perspective, run-flat tyres are definitely a good choice. While these tyres can be a trouble when it comes to fitting and replacement, one needs to remember that they increase convenienceCan you swap run-flat tyres with normal ones?It is recommended that one does not mix run-flat;tyres Bilston;with normal ones. That's because different tyres have different characteristics. It is possible that mixing run-flat tyres with normal ones results in erratic handling of the vehicle. Your vehicle must be fitted with tyres of similar pattern and manufacturerAnother thing that vehicle-owners need to keep in mind is that their cars must be standardised in accordance with run-flat tyre's specifications. That is imperative if you wish to enjoy high-performance. While run-flat tyres are good in terms of technology and feasibility, it must be noted that your vehicle needs to be prepared for it.

Tyres are as important as the engine. A vehicle cannot reach its destination until the tyres are not fixed.Types of tyresLike other things in this world, everything comes in different types or varieties. The same applies to tyres too.Summer or performance tyresThe racing slick mentioned above comes under this type of tyres. All the racers use summer or performance tyres in their vehicles because these tyres hold proper grip. And racer needs the speed. Speed can not be maintained without the grip of tyres. So, these tyres are used because they hold the grip with the ground while being on high speed.All-season or all-around tyres -These are tyres which are used in all the seasons and they are made for balancing proper performance, grip, wet-weather safety, acceptable noise, and durability. These tyres are manufactured with the consistency of hard rubber substance and perform well while running water on roads and water dispersion.Wet-weather tyres -These are the tyres which are mainly manufactured for the rainy season. Well, if someone has the summer tyres then he might be having the wet-weather tyres too. Such tyres help the vehicle to perform well during heavy rains and does not slip while driving. They have a proper hold on the ground even in rainwater as well.Radial;Most of the modern vehicles have a radial system on their wheels because it provides exceptional cut resistance while driving. These are also heat and wear resistance and result in better fuel economy i.e improved mileage.Cross-ply;Cross-ply design helps the tyre in sidewall cut resistance. A cross-ply tyre always maintains stability and steadiness which is required by the vehicle in any matter.Tyres are symmetrical and asymmetrical.Symmetrical tyres -These are the tyres when are cut into halves, the two divided tyres are identical to each other in design. And does not vary from each other.Asymmetrical tyres -When a tyre is cut into two halves, the two divided portions are not so identical in terms of size and design. This is the property of asymmetrical tyres. The inner section and the tread pattern or blocks always vary from each other portion which is cut into two halves.Tyre SizeThis is the most important reading that gives you the size of the tyre and its rim. For example, there is a reading of 185 65 H R14.185 is the width of your tyre.65 would be the aspect ratio of the sidewall of the tyre.H refers to the speed rating of your tyre.R is the type of tyre manufacturing. Here, R means Radial tyre.14 is the diameter of the rim and diameter is always calculated in inches.Checking tyre wearTyre wear must be checked at regular time intervals so that you can know about the tyre life and can maintain its performance.

Mostly peopleprefer to get tubeless tyres rather than fitting tubedtyres over the rims of their vehicles. It is very identical to thetraditional tyre and their is absence of tube inside it. Air isretained in between the rim and the tyre itself with the use of anair tight seal. Advantagesof tubeless tyres Minorpunctures arenot visible in tubeless tyres whereas in normal tyres, theyneed to be fixed. Such tyres consist liquid filling inside them,which fixes the minor punctures there and then at the time of effect.Lowerair pressureis not a challenge for thetubeless tyres. Like, the air gets on retaining automatically whiledriving and these tyres do not need much air to be filled atsometimes.There are lesser chances ofair escaping from them as the air-filled inside suchtyres is escaped slowly. A tubed tyre always let air to escapeimmediately while driving which may cause to road accidents. But intubeless tyres, they provide chance to get the vehicle controlledtill safety.Thesetyres are Lighterin weightand are not as heavy as tubedtyres.Unwantedfriction isavoided at the time of running. In normal tubed tyres, they producefriction while driving which may result in tyre exploding.

They also have less natural rubber whereas wintertyres consist of more natural rubber.Although summer tyres can handle most of the seasons, they are notsuggested to be used in rainy or winter seasons. This is because theyare meant specially for summer. Such tyres have a simple block-shapedtread design which provides a large footprint on the road once they goacross.

"Perks on winter tyres over summer tyres"

"Winter Tyres Shrewsbury, Tyres Shrewsbury"

[ "Perks of winter tyres over summer tyresMany drivers come across a question that if winter tyres are so reliable, why should I remount them every season? Why not keep them mounted in summers as well? Unfortunately, we advise you not to do so. Winter tyres compromise your vehicles performance on the road due to their high expense maintenance. To determine the best type of tyres for your car, you should always keep factors like climate and comfortability in your mind as these factors are of great significance.If you want some specific reasons;why winter tyres are not suitable for year-long use, We suggest you take a good look through this article.The primary reason:;Winter Tyres can withstand cold temperatures and precipitation, but as the onset of summer approaches, you no longer require such technology.Unexpected wears:;The tread rubber used for making winter tyres is more flexible as compared to summer or all-season tyres. As a result, they start to wear out much faster in warm climates. Because originally, they are designed to add traction on snowy roads.Inappropriate handling:;Winter tyres do not provide adequate performance in warmer climates. You wont be able to make quick maneuvers, because of using soft and squishy tyres on warm-summer roads. Winter tyres are most effective when they get the softness and flexibility of cold climates.Additional reason:;Winter tyres are made up of specialized compounds and tread designs. But they do not benefit you in summers at all.Now you must understand why mounting winter tyres are more expensive than mounting them seasonally.But as the onset of winter approaches, winter tyres are no less than a boon. They have several benefits when used in proper climatic conditions. If you are planning to switch to winter tyres, with the changing weather, we suggest you should hang on to this article.Why Use Winter Tyres?1. Superior Quality:;The rubber used in summer and all-season tyres cannot withstand temperatures below 7-degree celsius as they lose their grip on snowy roads, which is a risk factor for your safety. Whereas, winter tyres continue to provide a comfortable driving experience even in temperatures as low as -30 degrees celsius.2. Better control:;The treads present in winter tyres have thin horizontal cuts, which enables more profound and prevalent siping. Helping your car to bite onto the ice and increase movement while driving.3. Improved Braking:;In case of using an emergency brake, summer tyres are more likely to skid in snowy roads. Whereas, winter tyres respond by staying firm and flexible, even in emergency braking situations.4. Hydroplane Resistance:;Driving a car with summer tyres on snowy roads results in accidents as the car might roll on frozen surfaces. Winter tyres, on the other hand, are resistant to hydroplaning because of grooves present in them, which pushes the water aside.5. Snow Navigation:;Due to the skinnier size of winter tyres, as compared to summer tyres Shrewbury, they have an easier time cutting through the road because of their extensive depth.If you are planning to buy;Winter Tyres;Shrewsbury,;stop visiting random garages and come straight to;SP Tyres." ]

[ "Knowing your tyres and buying the right ones is now easier than you thought. Implemented by the EU in 2012, Tyre Labelling Whitchurch requires every new tyre sold within Europe (with few exceptions) to be labelled based on certain defined parameters much like a fridge or light bulb. The regulation aims to increase the safety and sustainability of road transport, by promoting safe and fuel-efficient tyres. This sorting of tyres also enables consumers in making more informed choices aided with the defined assessments, in addition to the criteria usually considered during the time of purchase. Taking due note of these, we at Blackhurst Garages ensure to comply with the; EU Tyre Label with all our products. Tyres from revered brands to providing every aspect of car servicing we have them all and customised right with your budget. Call our Customer Care representatives to book your appointment. Whats in the EU label?The tyre labelling features intelligible pictograms that extend information on the following three essential aspects of a tyres performance.1 ; ;Wet GripCritical for driving safely is a secure grip between the interfaces in wet conditions. Included as a symbol that looks like a cloud, the Wet Grip rating grades the performance of a tyre based on their estimated performance in real-time. A speed of 80 km/h is taken as a reference by the EU. Decelerating from this speed, a Class A tyre will stop in wet conditions after covering a distance of 28 meters. Whereas, a Class F tyre will take 46.5 meters to attain the state of rest under the same conditions. In general, the difference between a G and an A class for a set of four identical tyres could be up to 30% shorter braking distance. Intuitively, for safety reasons, it is advised to opt for a higher-class tyre2 ; Fuel efficiencyRelating to a tyres rolling resistance; this label pictorially resembles a petrol pump. The gradation ranges from class A (corresponding to the best fuel economy) all the way through to class G (the lowest grade in fuel economy). Grade D is left unoccupied and serves as a virtual cut-off point for the label. Each grade is also assigned a specific shade in the label, ranging from green for Class A to red for Class G. Statistically, fuel consumption increases by approximately 0.1 litres for every 100 km driven.3 ; Noise LevelNoise level is the external rolling noise generated by the tyre, measured in decibels. Represented by a symbol resembling a microphone, the label has bars as indicators. Starting with one for the lowest noise level (between 67 and 71 dB) to three corresponding to the loudest (between 72 and 76 dB), the bars are filled concerning the decibel boundaries laid by the EU. Choosing a tyre with fewer bars would be highly recommended. After all, journeys are best felt with the music of your cars jukebox and not from its cabin.Complete Tyre-Care In WhitchurchTyres are an important component of your vehicle.

Without a tyre, no matter how robust your car might be, it wont be able to run anywhere be it on soil, hard pavement, asphalt roads, etc. The tyre has been a crucial invention, all thanks to the advent of technology that gave us vulcanised rubber.But tyres arent just small inflatable rubber tube-like structures that provide the link in between the vehicles rim and the surface upon which it is supposed to run. In fact, through the years, tyres have proven to be way more versatile than any other vehicle-related equipment. Nowadays, tyres have become more complex than ever before, with specific structures that can also hold off against puncture, deflation, air leakage, pressure difference, etc. In some cases, tyres are way more valuable than some other components that help the vehicle to run on a surfaceReasons for tyre damage;A tyre burst can better be explained as the result of an anomaly occurred either by sheer damage to the surface structure or loss caused due to prolonged usage with negligence to a pre-existing defect. Tyres are subjected to very harsh conditions like terrains, temperatures, pressure differences, lack of maintenance, reckless usage, etc.One of the significant reasons why a tyre bursts open in the middle of the road is the lack of maintenance. People often go for a long drive once or twice every alternate month or so. These regular wear and tear start to take a toll on the structural integrity of the tyre. As time passes, the movement speed also comes into playDifferent pavements also play an essential role in the damaging process of tyres. For example, a car running at 100kms/hr on a concrete pavement might have a more damaged set of tyres than another car running at the same speed on an asphalt road. Inadequate maintenance, no repairs, irregular or absolutely no check-ups also come into play while talking about tyre damage.
