Most installations take approximately half a day to a full day, depending on the complexity of the job. For a typical home installation, the process is usually completed within a few hours. However, properties with unusual layouts, limited electrical capacity, or additional safety considerations may take slightly longer. Before installation, we carry out a full survey to assess your electrical supply and determine the best position for the charger. We always aim to carry out the work efficiently, cleanly, and with as little disruption to your day as possible.

If you own your property and have private off-street parking, you usually do not need planning permission to install a standard wall-mounted EV charger. However, if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or is rented, you may need to seek permission from your local council or landlord. We can advise you on this during our initial consultation and, if required, help you understand what approvals may be needed for your specific situation.

Most residential properties in the UK have a single-phase electrical supply, which can support a 7.4kW EV charger, the most popular option for home use. This power output typically allows a full overnight charge for most vehicles. During our assessment, we will confirm your supply type and check whether any electrical upgrades or load management systems are necessary. If you have or are planning to install multiple high-power appliances (like heat pumps or home offices), we will ensure your system can handle the additional load safely.

Yes, we offer a flexible service and are happy to install a charger of your choice, as long as it meets safety and compatibility standards. If you’re unsure which charger is right for your vehicle or property, we can recommend a solution based on your daily mileage, charging preferences, budget, and any smart features you may want, such as remote control via a mobile app or integration with solar panels. Our goal is to match the charger to your needs without upselling unnecessary extras.

Yes. Most of the EV chargers we install now come with smart features as standard. These include options such as scheduling charge times, monitoring energy usage, load balancing, and controlling the charger remotely via a smartphone app. Smart chargers can also help you reduce costs by taking advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs. If you’re interested in integrating your EV charger with solar panels or other home energy systems, we can discuss compatible options during your consultation.

Absolutely. A dedicated EV charging point is designed specifically to handle the higher electrical demands of electric vehicles. Charging via a standard 3-pin plug should only be considered a temporary solution, as it charges more slowly and can present safety risks if used regularly. Professionally installed chargers include built-in safety features, are more efficient, and are fully compliant with UK electrical regulations. They also typically offer weatherproofing, fault detection, and the ability to lock the unit when not in use.

Yes. We can install more than one charger at a property, which is particularly useful for multi-EV households, business premises, or holiday lets catering to electric vehicle drivers. We will assess your property’s electrical capacity and recommend a solution that includes load management if required. This ensures both chargers can be used safely and effectively without overloading your system. We can also futureproof your property with wiring infrastructure to allow for additional chargers to be added later.

Installation timing is dependent on what is found at your initial assessment and how much time is required to complete works. If your job is more complex, such as involving trenching or upgrades to your fuse board, we may need a little more time to plan. We always aim to be transparent about timelines and will confirm your booking and estimated schedule during the quoting process. For current availability, just call us on 01993 359515.

The cost of an EV charger installation can vary based on the charger model, the location of the installation, and the complexity of the wiring required. We offer free, no-obligation quotes and are happy to explain exactly what’s included in your price, with no hidden charges. If you already own a charger, we also provide installation-only services at a competitive rate.
