What are the advantages of paying through Rightcharge?

Rightcharge and Select want to provide our customers with maximum peace of mind when going ahead with an EV charger installation.

No matter the reason why, you can cancel or reschedule your installation prior to 2 calendar days before your installation date, free of charge.*

In addition, in the unlikely event that your installation doesn't meet the required standards, let Rightcharge know within 10 days after your installation, and they'll hold your funds until you receive a level of workmanship which is expected by Rightcharge (check Rightcharge Terms and Conditions for more details).*

These strong consumer protection features – an integral part of the Rightcharge platform – mean that installers are motivated to go the extra mile to provide a fantastic service.

* The only exception to the payment, rescheduling and cancellation policies is if you opt to pay in instalments via the Smart Pro Plan provided by Egg.

WHICH CHARGER?

Get help in choosing the right EV charger

All of the chargers on the platform are modern and up-to-date, bringing you the convenience of fast charging at home.

But you can go beyond the basics and pick a charger tailored precisely to your specific needs.

For example, Rightcharge's comparison tool will ask you:

  • Will your electric car usually be parked at home overnight? If you answer ‘yes’, you will see chargers that allow you to schedule your charging, giving you access to cheaper, overnight, off-peak energy (if you have an EV friendly tariff).
  • Does your house have solar panels or could you have them within the next few years? Answer ‘yes’ to this question and you will see chargers that can optionally guarantee your car will only charge with energy from the sun for maximum environmental benefit (assuming you have solar panels).
  • Could you have more than one electric car at home in the next few years? A ‘yes’ to this question shows you chargers that have ‘fuse protection’ functionality, such that if you install two charging points and charge two EVs simultaneously, your chargers won't draw too much power and blow your house fuse.

How do I book an EV charger installation?

Once you’ve leased either a fully electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle with Select Car Leasing, you will be sent a link – exclusive for Select customers – to a bespoke version of the Rightcharge website.

You are then just 5 simple steps away from getting your charger on the wall:

  1. Pick the charger that matches your needs and budget
  2. Complete a short, virtual home assessment
  3. Get a free quote
  4. Book an installation date
  5. Have it installed safely and promptly by a pro

ANOTHER OPTION

Can’t I charge my vehicle using a standard 3-pin socket?

It is true that technically you don’t need to get a dedicated EV charging point installed. You can use a humble 3-pin socket that we all have at home. To do this, you will need a 3-pin charging cable – some vehicles come with them, some don’t.

However, there are pros and cons of 3-pin plug charging as follows:

Charger type3-pin SocketDedicated EV Charger
Charging rate2.3 kW7.4 kW
Vehicle charge time*19 hrs 34 mins6 hrs 5 mins
Designed to run at maximum rate for long periods?NoYes
Cost?£0**£800 to £1,200, typically

* Assuming a 50 kWh battery, from 10% to 100%.

** If your vehicle comes with a free 3-pin plug charger cable. If not, you'll have to buy one.

In summary: It's quicker and safer to charge your electric vehicle with a professionally installed charge point.

TOP TIP

Where should my charging point be installed?

Annoyingly, electric vehicle manufacturers don't put the car charging port in the same location for every model.

For example, the Nissan Leaf and MG ZS EV put the port at the front of the car. By contrast, Tesla's charging ports are at the back on the left. The Audi e-tron has two ports: one front left, the other front right.

So when you come to have a charging point installed, think carefully about where the charging point will be located, to ensure it's not too far from your car's charging port.

In any case, your Rightcharge installer will make sure your charge point is suitably sited for your EV.
