FAQ’s
Does Synergy install EV chargers that was supplied by the vehicle manufacturer?
Yes, we install all makes of EV chargers and we supply you with a Coc after installation
What is the best Solar EV Charger?
Although not all EV Chargers have the same functions any Charger can be connected to solar it does however depend on the solar system that is installed. As not all solar systems can accommodate EV charging communication. But the solar integration will be done by time of use programming of the inverter and charger to optimize solar production.
Does Synergy Energy Solutions support Tesla Wall Connector EV Charger?
Yes, we do we are proud authorized installers of both the Tesla Powerwall 3 and the Tesla Wall Connector. These are premium products and are some of the best solutions out on the market.
Is the SigenSTor EV DC Charger Optional?
The EV DC-charger is an optional component. Should you wish to charge your electric vehicle directly from solar or battery power at high DC efficiency, we will include the module in your SigenStor system.
How Many Solar Panels would I require and What would the size of the panels be?
The quantity of panels and the size will be determent by what your energy usage for your home is and how much energy would be required for EV charging.
How do I charge my EV at home?
There are two main options when it comes to charging your electric vehicle (EV) at home. The first is to use a standard 3-pin domestic power socket, also known as Level 1 charging. This method is straightforward and accessible, allowing you to plug your EV into a regular household outlet. However, it is important to note that Level 1 charging is relatively slow and may require anywhere from 12 to 24 hours to fully charge your vehicle.
For those seeking a faster and more efficient charging solution, installing a dedicated home charging station, or Wallbox, is recommended. This method, referred to as Level 2 charging, requires professional installation but offers significant advantages in terms of speed and safety. With a Wallbox, a full charge can typically be achieved within 4 to 8 hours, making it a convenient option for daily use.

Who installs the home charger?
A professional, licensed, and registered electrician should handle the installation to ensure it meets safety standards and avoids issues like fire risks or voiding warranties. Synergy Energy Solutions provides professional installations of EV chargers both Type 1 and Type 2 installations, with over 15 years experience you will have peace of mind that your installation is done to the latest SANS Standards.
Does the type of EV I own affect which charger I should install?
The type of electric vehicle (EV) you own plays a crucial role in determining which home charger is most suitable. Different EV models have varying charging capacities and connector types, such as Type 2 or CCS 2 connectors. It is essential to select a charger that matches both the maximum charging capacity and the connector specifications of your vehicle. Before purchasing or installing a charger, verify that it is fully compatible with your specific EV model to ensure efficient and safe charging. For expert advice contact Synergy Energy Solutions so we can assist you with the best option that will suite your needs.
Does load shedding affect home charging?
Yes, charging an electric vehicle at home depends on a stable power grid, so load shedding can disrupt charging. Solar panels with battery storage allow you to charge your EV during outages, ensuring reliable energy access. Synergy Energy Solutions can provide an integrated EV solar solution for greater energy savings and better returns.
Are EVs cheaper to own and operate than petrol cars in South Africa?
When considering whether electric vehicles (EVs) are more affordable to own and operate than traditional petrol cars in South Africa, it is important to look beyond the initial purchase price. Although EVs generally have a higher upfront cost compared to petrol vehicles, the overall long-term expenses tend to be lower.
This cost advantage is mainly attributed to two factors: reduced maintenance requirements and significantly lower running costs. EVs have fewer moving parts, which means they require less frequent servicing and incur fewer maintenance expenses over their lifespan.
Additionally, the “fuel” costs for EVs—namely, electricity—are substantially lower than petrol costs. On average, driving an EV costs about two-thirds less per kilometer than driving a petrol car. This makes EVs not only more economical to operate daily, but also potentially more cost-effective over the total period of ownership.
