Designing for Today. Ready for Tomorrow.

EV charging planned for today and integrated for tomorrow

When the Harrisons first began exploring an EV chargepoint, they were already thinking ahead. They understood that an electric vehicle was only one step in a broader energy journey—but they weren’t sure how best to plan for what might come next. The companies they spoke to focused on what they knew best: recommending a specific charger and providing a quote. What was missing was wider context and long‑term thinking.

That changed when they contacted Pretium Synergy. From the outset, the conversation went beyond a single product. Rather than pushing a one‑size‑fits‑all solution, we took the time to understand how their home actually worked—exploring factors such as roof orientation and shading, insulation levels, day‑ and night‑time energy use, tariff options, supply constraints, and future ambitions like electrified heating.

Together, we shaped a staged, flexible pathway toward net zero, delivered over less than three years. While upgrades can be completed in any order, this represents one optimised sequence—tailored entirely around the Harrisons’ home, priorities, and pace.

A staged pathway — one optimised sequence

Figures are illustrative only. Your home, tariff and usage will differ — use this as a planning conversation starter, not a quote.

Baseline — The Harrisons’ Starting Point

A petrol car, a gas boiler, and standard grid electricity. Costs are predictable—but higher than they’d like.

Annual energy cost
£3,130.50
Carbon footprint
~6,100 kg CO₂e
Tree-equivalent
Baseline (0)
Guidance
Map the journey first

Pretium’s early advice: Let’s map your journey so every decision sets up bigger savings tomorrow.

Stage 2 — EV + Time-of-Use Tariff

Budget-friendly charger + lower-cost off-peak electricity

Annual cost
£2,430
Saving vs baseline
£700.50/yr
Carbon reduction
~1,550 kg CO₂e/yr
Trees-equivalent
~70

Pretium’s touch: curated hardware, tidy install, tariff optimisation, and smart-charge scheduling.

Stage 3 — Battery Storage + Hybrid Inverter (~£5,600)

Cheap electricity stored, expensive electricity avoided

Annual cost
£1,326
Saving vs baseline
£1,804.50/yr
Carbon reduction
~2,350 kg CO₂e/yr
Trees-equivalent
~107

Pretium’s touch: correct sizing, safe placement, clean commissioning, and guided use during price peaks.

Stage 4 — Solar PV (~£5,000)

From consumers to producers — bills drop to £0

Annual cost
£780
Saving vs baseline
£2,350.50/yr
Carbon reduction
~3,150 kg CO₂e/yr
Trees-equivalent
~143

Pretium’s touch: roof & shading analysis, string design, DNO approval, and enriched app visibility.

Stage 5 — Heat Pump + Additional Battery (~£7,500 + ~£5,500)

Goodbye gas — the home becomes fully electric

Net annual energy cost
£0
Export income
£500
Saving vs baseline
£3,630.50/yr
Carbon reduction
~5,200 kg CO₂e/yr
Trees-equivalent
~236

Pretium’s touch: heat-loss survey, radiator adjustments, system design, precise commissioning, and a first-cold-snap followup.

The Result — Integrated, Comfortable, FutureReady

Across the journey, the Harrisons invest £24,800 (EV charger, battery + hybrid inverter, solar PV, heat pump, second battery). Savings start early and compound with each upgrade.

IRR: ~18%over 20 years
Carbon reduction~5.2 tonnes CO₂e/year
Tree-equivalent~236 trees/year

In simple terms, the transformation behaves like a high-yield green asset, delivering financial resilience, comfort, and a deeply sustainable footprint.
