EV Charger InstallationFor Your HomeOr Workplace

Why Install a Home EV Charger?

Charging an electric vehicle from a standard 13A domestic socket draws up to 2.3kW continuously for 12+ hours. Standard sockets are not designed for sustained high loads — this causes overheating, melted terminals, and fire risk.

Unqualified installation of a dedicated charger creates equally dangerous problems. Undersized cabling, incorrect fuse ratings, missing earth rods, and non-compliant consumer unit connections are common issues with DIY or unregistered installations.

An incorrectly installed EV charger can void your vehicle warranty, your home insurance, and the charger manufacturer's warranty simultaneously. Three protections lost through one bad decision.

Properties with older consumer units may lack the capacity for an additional high-load circuit. Installing a charger without upgrading the consumer unit can cause persistent tripping, affecting your entire home's electrical supply.

OZEV grant eligibility requires installation by an approved installer using an approved charger. Using an unapproved installer disqualifies you from financial support and removes the safety net of regulated workmanship standards.

All Major Brands

We install Ohme, Zappi, Easee, Pod Point, Wallbox, Tesla, and more. We recommend based on your vehicle and usage — not commission.

Smart Charging Setup

Every installation includes app configuration and off-peak scheduling. Charge overnight on cheap electricity and wake up to a full battery.

Consumer Unit Upgrade Included

If your consumer unit lacks capacity, we upgrade it as part of the installation. No separate quotes or surprise extras.

OZEV Approved

We meet the government's strict installer standards. Your installation is eligible for available grants and fully compliant with regulations.

Future-Proofed

We install cable rated for higher-power charging so you're ready for future charger upgrades without re-running cables.

Home EV chargers are available in two main power levels: 3.6kW (16A) and 7.2kW (32A). Most UK homes with a single-phase supply are best suited to a 7.2kW charger, which provides approximately 25-30 miles of range per hour of charging.

The charger unit is typically mounted on an external wall near the parking position. Cable runs from the consumer unit to the charger location vary by property — we route cables through loft spaces, under floors, or along external walls using weather-resistant conduit.

Every installation requires a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, protected by a Type A or Type B RCD and appropriately rated MCB. We use 6.0mm² or 10.0mm² T&E cable depending on cable run length and voltage drop calculations.

An earth rod (earth electrode) is installed for most EV charger installations to provide an additional earth path. This is a regulatory requirement for installations using Type A RCDs and provides an extra layer of safety.

Smart chargers are now required by law for all new installations (Electric Vehicles Smart Charge Points Regulations 2021). These must be capable of off-peak scheduling, random delay, and demand-side response. All chargers we install meet these requirements.

Tethered chargers have a permanently attached cable — convenient for single-vehicle households. Untethered (socketed) chargers accept any Type 1 or Type 2 cable — better for households with multiple EVs or future vehicle changes.

For commercial and workplace installations, we offer multi-point solutions with load management systems. These distribute available power across multiple chargers, preventing supply overload while maximising charging availability for all users.

Solar PV integration is available with compatible chargers such as the Zappi. This allows you to charge your vehicle using excess solar generation — further reducing your running costs and carbon footprint.
