Charging Out and About

Charging your electric vehicle (EV) while on the go has never been easier. With a growing network of public charging stations across the UK, you can enjoy the freedom to drive wherever your journey takes you. From rapid chargers on motorways to conveniently located points in car parks, supermarkets, and service areas, public charging ensures you’re never far from a top-up.

At Birchwood MG Eastbourne, we’re committed to helping you make the most of public charging. Our MG EVs are compatible with the majority of public charging networks, giving you access to thousands of charging locations nationwide. Whether you’re planning a long road trip or just running errands around town, you can rely on fast, efficient charging to keep you moving.

Key tips for public charging:

  • Plan Ahead: Use apps or built-in navigation to find nearby charging stations and check availability.
  • Understand Charging Speeds: Rapid chargers can provide an 80% charge in as little as 30 minutes, while slower chargers are perfect for extended stops.

Charging from home

Charging your electric vehicle (EV) from the comfort of your home is one of the most convenient and cost-effective ways to keep your car ready for the road. With a dedicated home charging point, you can start every journey with a full battery, while benefiting from lower electricity costs compared to public charging.

At Birchwood MG Eastbourne, we’re here to help you make home charging simple and efficient. Most EV owners choose to install a home charging unit, also known as a wallbox, which offers faster charging and added safety compared to a standard household plug. With government grants available to support installation, getting set up is more affordable than you might think.

Key benefits of home charging:

  • Convenience: Charge overnight and wake up to a fully powered vehicle.
  • Cost Savings: Take advantage of off-peak electricity rates to save on charging costs.
  • Speed: A 7kW home charger can recharge your MG EV significantly faster than a standard socket.
  • Control: Smart chargers allow you to schedule charging times, monitor usage, and track expenses.

Our team at Birchwood MG can provide expert advice on the best home charging solutions for your lifestyle and vehicle. From understanding installation requirements to exploring available grants, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

At Birchwood MG Eastbourne, we encourage you to explore workplace charging options as a practical and efficient solution for your EV needs. Whether your workplace already has charging points or is considering installing them, charging at work provides a hassle-free way to top up your vehicle during your regular routine.

How Long Will My Vehicle Take To Charge to Full?

The time it takes to charge your electric vehicle (EV) depends on several factors, including the size of your car's battery, the type of charger you’re using, and the current level of charge. Rapid chargers, typically found at public stations, can provide an 80% charge in as little as 30-60 minutes, making them ideal for quick top-ups on the go. Fast chargers, often used at home or work, deliver a full charge in 4-8 hours depending on the battery size, while slower chargers, such as a standard 3-pin plug, can take 12-24 hours and are best suited for overnight charging. Factors like battery size, charging point output, state of charge, and even weather conditions, such as cold temperatures, can influence charging times. At Birchwood MG Eastbourne, we’re here to help you understand your vehicle's charging capabilities and find the best charging solution to suit your lifestyle, ensuring you’re always powered up and ready to go.
