Service overview

What's involved in ev charger installation.

Plain-English breakdown, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why it matters before we set foot on site.

What it is

Domestic and small commercial EV charger installations, 7kW and 22kW single and three-phase units, tethered or untethered, smart-app controlled. Cable runs, consumer unit upgrades, load management and Open EV Charge Point Regulations compliance handled end to end.

Who it's for

Homeowners taking delivery of a new EV, landlords adding charging to a rental property, and small commercial sites adding workplace or fleet charging.

When you need it

EV ordered with a known delivery date; tariff change to overnight charging coming up; or workplace adding fleet vehicles and needs charging in place.

Why it matters

Cheap, non-certified installs can damage the vehicle's onboard charger, trip the consumer unit nightly, and void manufacturer warranties. OZEV-approved installation protects all three.

The cost of doing nothing

What goes wrong when this is ignored.

Most EV charger problems are wiring problems, not charger problems. Under-sized cable, missing earth fault protection and skipped DNO notifications cause most of the call-outs we attend.

Risks of waiting

  • Under-sized supply cable causes voltage drop and slow charging, and overheats in hot weather.
  • Missing Type A or Type B RCD protection puts the vehicle's onboard electronics at risk.
  • No DNO notification means an unlawful install that can be enforced and disconnected.
  • Poor load management trips the main fuse when the EV charges alongside an oven and a shower.

Common mistakes

  • Buying the charger online and asking a non-approved electrician to fit it, voids the OZEV grant if eligible.
  • Skipping the consumer unit upgrade where the existing board can't take the load.
  • Mounting the charger out of reach of a sensible cable run, adding metres of trunking after the fact.
  • Forgetting that future three-phase upgrades cost more to retrofit than to design in at the first install.

Domestic 7kW installations

The most common install, a 7kW single-phase tethered or untethered charger fitted to an exterior wall with a tidy cable run back to the consumer unit. We add Type A or Type B RCBO protection, upgrade the consumer unit if needed, and commission the smart-app for off-peak charging.

Three-phase 22kW installations

Where a three-phase supply is available, a 22kW charger delivers significantly faster charging, useful for plug-in hybrids switching to BEVs or for households with two EVs sharing one charger. We confirm the supply, file the DNO notification and design load management.

Small commercial and workplace charging

Workplace charging for small fleets and customer-facing sites, multi-unit installs, load-balancing across chargers, back-office reporting and OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme support where eligible.
