Evacado: smart chargers and solar energy for the UK

Evacado is a family-run business based in Humberston (United Kingdom) that installs electric vehicle chargers and solar energy systems with battery storage. Its range includes 7 kW smart home chargers and 22/60 kW commercial chargers, with off-peak charging options and RFID security tags.

Charging products and solutions

Evacado's offering is built around two main lines:

• 7 kW smart home chargers.
• 22/60 kW commercial chargers.
• PV systems with battery storage.

The chargers include features such as off-peak charging scheduling and RFID security tags. The company notes that both the 7 kW and 22 kW models are compatible with the EV tariffs of major energy providers when charging off-peak, and that the app allows you to set your tariff so you know the cost of each charging cycle.

Installation and timescales

The process begins with a pre-installation check that can be done online, although a site visit is sometimes required to ensure a safe and efficient installation. According to the company, installation costs vary and only the pre-installation check can confirm the actual amount; prices start at around £500 for standard non-complex installations. Installation is completed within seven working days, with notification to the distribution network operator (DNO). A registered installer connects the charger and the app, and provides a demonstration of how the app works.

OZEV grants

Evacado handles OZEV programme grants, which reduce the cost of installation. For renters and flat owners, the grant covers 75% of the cost, capped at £500 per charging point. The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is available to registered businesses, charities and public sector organisations, with £500 per charging point. Small accommodation providers, such as hotels and B&Bs, can use the WCS for guest charging even if the general public uses the points, provided they have off-street parking.

Aftercare and technical support

The company emphasises its aftercare service. It offers a three-year warranty, regular OTA updates, installation certification and DNO notification. Technical and customer support is human, not based on ticket systems or bots, and is available every day from 9:00 to 19:00 via WhatsApp. The company states that this support model is one of its distinguishing features.

Payments and referral programmes

Evacado accepts buy now, pay later through Klarna or Clearpay, as well as cryptocurrency payments (Ethereum and Bitcoin). It has a referral programme for family and friends: for each person who becomes a customer and mentions the referrer's name, the referrer receives £50.
