Comparison FAQs

If your question isn't answered below, please ask our friendly chat AI as this has access to our entire knowledge base and will be able to provide an answer for you
Are S&P chargers more compatible with renewable energy than other brands?
Plus iconPlus icon
Yes. Our chargers are fully solar-compatible, letting you maximise your home energy and reduce costs. Many other chargers claim “green energy support,” but only S&P chargers integrate seamlessly with solar generation and smart tariffs, making your EV charging both efficient and environmentally friendly.
What about warranties and support compared to other brands?
Plus iconPlus icon
We offer a 10-year enclosure and 5-year electronics warranty, supported by our UK team. Many competitors provide shorter warranties or rely on overseas support.
What smart features set Simpson & Partners chargers apart from competitors?
Plus iconPlus icon
Every S&P charger comes with smart app control, load management, and over-the-air updates. That means you can schedule charging, monitor usage, and future-proof your setup. Some competitors may have app control, but few combine this with advanced energy management and OTA updates in one reliable package.
How does the build quality of Simpson & Partners chargers compare to other brands?
Plus iconPlus icon
Our chargers are designed to last. With IP65-rated enclosures, premium materials, and rigorous testing, they’re built to withstand the UK’s toughest weather. Many other brands don’t match this level of durability, which means our chargers stay looking and performing like new for longer.
How does S&P pricing compare to other chargers with similar features?
Plus iconPlus icon
Our chargers start from £649 inc. VAT, reflecting the premium build quality, advanced smart features and long-term reliability we include as standard. We also keep things flexible rather than forcing you into an all‑in‑one bundle, optional upgrades like metal lids, ethernet or wireless energy management can be added at checkout. Lower‑priced alternatives often cut costs through reduced durability, shorter warranties or hidden extras that appear later in the buying process. In contrast, every S&P charger includes an industry leading 10‑year external enclosure warranty and a 5‑year electrical warranty. Because we manufacture, assemble and powder‑coat our chargers in‑house and sell directly to customers. We avoid middle‑man markups. This lets us maintain high quality while keeping prices competitive, giving you a better‑built product for the same price.
