SunWorks is an approved contractor for the Government’s Electric Vehicle Charger Incentive (EVCI), and can provide the full installation of an EV charger for your electric vehicle at your home or business, with £350 towards an installation.
The Government of Jersey has launched two new schemes to financially support islanders who are interested in investing in electric vehicles and EV chargers has been launched, as part of Jersey’s Carbon Neutral Roadmap. Islanders can now apply for grants offering up to £3000 towards the purchase of any electric vehicle from an approved local retailer.
As part of this launch, Islanders can apply for £350 towards the cost of an electric vehicle smart charger installed at their home or small business, and SunWorks are pleased to announce that they’re an official installer for the EVCI incentive.
SunWorks has over 10 years of experience in installing solar PV systems in Jersey, and have been using solar power to charge their own fleet of 11 electric vehicles since 2016. The SunWorks team have unrivalled knowledge and expertise to install the best technology for your needs.
The Minister for Energy and Climate Change, Deputy Hilary Jeune, said: “Transport is still responsible for around 40% of our carbon emissions in Jersey, so speeding up the uptake of electric vehicles is a way in which we will start to make real inroads towards our net zero targets.
The SunWorks team can also help you save money on your energy bills with a solar PV installation, allowing you to charge your electric vehicle with solar energy. By buying a solar PV system along with your electric vehicle, you can lower your energy bills and power your vehicle with the sun. Users can also monitor your energy usage and savings with the energy monitoring solutions that come with every solar PV system. The solar smart chargers can automatically adjust the charging according to the solar power available.
Mark Brandon, Managing Director of SunWorks said: “It’s great to see the government incentives, I think they will be well received. Effective and safe EV charging is a must for any EV owner, but it can be pricey to install so any contribution helps. We strongly urge customers to consider adopting solar technology alongside an EV. They are a great combination. We have plenty of customers, who with careful charging drive round Jersey just on solar power from their roof.”
