These are not recommended for everyday use. These take between 12–24+ hours to fully charge and can overload standard socket outlets in your home. We’d advise on using these only in an Emergency with no alternatives available.

A standard domestic installation typically takes between 3 to 5 hours, which includes mounting the unit, running the cable, linking to your consumer unit, and full commissioning.

Installation costs will vary based on factors such as cable length, which particular EV Charger is being installed, Installation location & where your existing consumer unit is suitable for the addition of your new EV charger. All of our quotes include full installation & certification as standard.

In short, yes.

We prefer transparency upfront and a survey allows us to discuss options with you & check things like the cable route, your consumer unit capacity, main fuse rating, Wi-Fi signal strength, and any potential obstructions which then allows us to provide you with a fixed quote. This prevents anydelays and unexpected costs at Installation stage.

We’ve now completed the specialist EV charging course twice, ensuring we stay fully up to date with the latest standards and best practices.

Many smart chargers rely on a stable Wi-Fi connection to access scheduled charging, off-peak energy tariffs, and software updates.

If the Wi-Fi signal is weak where the charger will be installed, you might need a signal booster or a wired connection, both of which we can take of for you.

In most cases, no. A 7kW charger usually works with standard UK domestic supplies. However, we will assess your current setup and liaise with your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) if an upgrade or notification is required. If found to be required then we can reduce the loading of your charger internally to allow for installation to take place.

Some electricity suppliers offer EV-friendly or off-peak tariffs, which provide cheaper rates during set nighttime hours. Pairing one of these tariffs with a smart charger can significantly reduce your charging costs. Check with your supplier or use a comparison site to find the best EV tariff for your usage.

Most home chargers use a universal Type 2 connector, which works with the majority of EVs sold in the UK. If you have an untethered charger, you just change the cable to match your new car if needed.
