Electric car chargers are devices that supply electric energy to recharge the batteries of electric vehicles (EVs). They come in various types and power levels, allowing EV owners to charge their cars at home, at work, or at public charging points.
From simple Level 1 chargers that plug into a standard socket to high-speed DC rapid chargers found along motorways, each type serves different needs based on vehicle compatibility, charging speed, and location. Understanding how electric car chargers work is essential for choosing the right option for your lifestyle and driving habits.

Most people prefer to keep their home and work lives separate; when it comes to a charger for electric cars, both can play an important role in your daily routine. Having access to charging at home ensures your car is ready before you leave for work, while a workplace charger can keep you powered up throughout the day or for the journey home.
Whether you’re an employee or a business owner, the right charger in the right place can make your EV ownership far more convenient.
Choosing the right electric car charger depends on where it will be installed and how it will be used. For most homes, a Level 2 charger is the ideal choice – it offers much faster charging than a standard 3-pin plug and can fully charge most EVs overnight.
In a business setting, the best option depends on how many vehicles need to be charged and how quickly. Workplace chargers often include multiple units, and may range from standard Level 2 units to rapid DC chargers for fleet or customer use.
Whether you’re looking to charge your own vehicle at home, install a charger for staff, or offer EV charging to customers, we can help recommend and install the best solution based on your needs, usage patterns, and property layout.
At Dawsons, we offer FREE quotes for our electric car chargers and ensure you have top-quality sources to use for your homes and businesses. Our dedication to excellent customer service is what has made us grow over the past decade.

It is important as a business to make the right choices for you as well as for your staff, customers and more. Choosing Dawsons Electrical for chargers for electric cars for businesses is one of those correct decisions. We understand the importance of these as a feature in the workplace and here’s why it is a smart move:
Come with a built-in charging cable
Quick and convenient – just plug in and charge
Ideal if you always use the same EV
Less flexible for future vehicle changes
Cable is always visible on the unit
No fixed cable – you use your own charging lead
More flexible – works with any EV and different connector types
Cleaner appearance when not in use
Slightly less convenient – you need to plug in both ends each time
A good choice if you have multiple EVs or plan to switch cars

Yes, over their full life cycle they generally do. EVs can have higher emissions during manufacturing (mainly the battery) but they usually “break even” after a few years of driving thanks to zero tailpipe emissions and more efficient motors. The greener the electricity grid, the bigger the advantage over petrol and diesel.
Most modern EV batteries are designed to last well over 160,000 km, and many go past 300,000 km with proper care. Brands typically offer 7–8 year or mileage-based warranties on the battery. Capacity slowly drops over time but it’s usually a gradual decline, not a sudden failure.
In many cases yes. Electricity is usually cheaper per kilometre than petrol, and EVs have fewer moving parts so servicing can cost less too. You also avoid things like oil changes, exhaust repairs and many gearbox issues. The higher upfront price can often be offset over several years of ownership.
Not overnight, but grids are being upgraded with EV growth in mind. Most charging happens at night when demand is lower. Smart chargers and tariffs can shift charging to off-peak hours, and vehicle-to-grid tech in future could even let cars send power back to the grid when needed.
