In 2012, Solar Solutions installed Malta’s first ever electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, marking a pivotal milestone on the Islands. Although these pillars have since been phased out, this project has provided us with invaluable expertise in electric vehicle charging, be it with regards to small-scale residential charging setups, or larger-scale commercial and fleet projects.

Our Rolec EV chargers are designed and manufactured in the UK. With over 15 years’ experience in the electric vehicle charging industry, Rolec EV continues to provide innovative charging solutions. Whether for residential or commercial applications, we offer tailor-made solutions for your unique charging needs.

Did you know that 80% of electric vehicle charging is done at home? This is because charging at home is the most cost-effective and convenient way to charge your plug-in vehicle. Additionally, Enemalta offers preferential charging rates to households with an electric vehicle charger installed. Solar Solutions will help you with all the paperwork necessary, to ensure that the process is as simple as possible for you.

How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle?

This depends on the power rating of the charger, and the maximum charge rate accepted by the vehicle itself. This is why our team will consult with you to determine the constraints that may be available, and effectively align them with your specific charging needs.

Let us take an electric vehicle with a 40kWh battery as an example. Below is a table showing the estimated time to charge this car from empty to full.

Is it safe to charge an EV with a 3-pin plug?

Some vehicles will be sold with a 3-pin charging cable, which plugs in to a standard 3-pin plug at home. Although charging is possible, this is the slowest option available and can take up to 38 hours to charge a battery. There is also a constant load placed on the plug, which could be dangerous if left for a long period of time.

Public Charging Infrastructure Malta

If you are looking to charge your electric car in Malta and Gozo, you would need to access the public charging infrastructure currently operated by Charge My Ride. To use these public pillars, you will need your own personal charging cable. Solar Solutions offer a wide array of accessories, such as electric vehicle charging cables, cable cases, key locks for chargers etc.

EV Charge Point Management Software

Managing charging points has never been easier. With the introduction of EV charge point management software Monta, the possibilities are endless.
