What are EV chargers?
An electric vehicle charger (EV charger) is a device that powers up an electric or hybrid vehicle’s battery. There are plenty of them dotted around urban areas, but they can be a hassle and a costly way to get your vehicle up and running. With your own home charger, you can conveniently charge your EV overnight, during the day or whenever suits you.
How do EV chargers work at home?
Home charging points work similarly to public charging stations. The main difference is that you have the freedom to choose when to charge your vehicle. No more hunting down your nearest public charging point or waiting around in car parks for your car battery to reach 100%.
At home, you can simply plug your car in when it needs fuel and get on with your day or charge it overnight. Think of it like charging your phone, just on a larger scale.
Many people make use of their energy provider’s cheap electricity rates to charge their vehicles. They typically do this by setting a timer on their EV charger app, which allows them to track their energy usage.
If you have solar panels, you can also direct any excess solar energy to your car’s battery instead of relying on the grid. Some manufacturers, like MyEnergi, use Zappi, which is specifically designed to make use of any surplus solar energy.

Frequently asked questions about our EV charger service
Can I install a home charger myself?
Electric vehicle installation involves intricate electrical systems and wiring. You should hire an experienced installer with a thorough understanding of health and safety standards to avoid running into dangerous faults in the future.
Do I need permission to install an EV charger?
An EV charger is like any other electrical circuit in your home and requires notification to building control and electrical certification. We will also need to notify the DNO due to the increased electrical load on the property.
How will I know which electric car charger is right for me?
We work with various trusted manufacturers, including Tesla, Enphase, and myenergi, which means you have plenty of options. Whether you want a product that can fit your own charging cable or you’re looking for something entirely new, our knowledgeable team will help you select the right product.
Should EV chargers be in the garage or outside?
The best location for your EV charger really comes down to accessibility and practicality. Installing it in the garage will protect it from the outside weather, but it isn’t essential, especially if you’re used to parking outside. We’ll talk to you to understand your parking habits and the space we’re working with so that we can give you the most convenient solution.
Can I get a grant to install an EV charger?
Grants used to be available to have an electric vehicle charger installed. However, these are no longer available. Some businesses offer support to their employees, so it may be possible to receive funding from work.
There are a number of government grants available for EV charger installations. In addition to government grants, some employers offer funding and support for plug-in electric vehicles, so it might be worth checking in with them, too.
