Clear answers matter when you are choosing a car or planning work at home.
"The battery check gave me a clearer picture of the car before I made a decision. The explanation was easy to follow."Randi S. · Bo'ness · Used EV battery check
"We wanted to understand how our parking and existing solar would affect a home charger installation. The survey covered the cable route and the supply, and we received a written quote before booking. The options were explained in plain English, which made it easier to decide what suited our house."Cien Kernoghan · Linlithgow · Home charging consultation

Useful answers before you book
Start with the detail that affects your own car, home or parking.
It depends on annual mileage, the vehicle's efficiency and your tariff. Charging during an off-peak window may change the cost. Use the estimate above as a starting point and check your tariff details.
Cold weather can reduce an EV's range, and the change varies by vehicle, journey and heating use. We can discuss your regular route and the specific model rather than relying on one headline figure.
It depends on parking rights, cable routing, the electrical supply and any relevant property restrictions. A survey can establish what is practical before a written quote is prepared.
A health check assesses battery condition using available diagnostic information. We explain the findings in context, including what they can and cannot tell you about the car's future use.
They can contribute, depending on the solar system, household demand and charger controls. We can review your existing equipment and discuss whether a compatible charger or storage system is appropriate.
EVs do not need engine oil changes, but still need checks suited to their brakes, tyres, suspension, cabin systems and high-voltage components. The schedule depends on the vehicle.
Start with parking control, permission, electrical capacity and how residents would access and pay for charging. Shared-site requirements vary, so a property discussion is the sensible first step.
