EV Chargers

Did you know that

• The District Network Operator (DNO) must give permission before an EV Charger is installed. This includes a suitability and safety check on the size of your electricity incomer. We will manage this for you.
• The installation must be certified and registered with your local authority building control. As NAPIT accredited Electricians we will do this for you. Without this your building insurance may be invalid and you may have issues when you come to sell your property.
• OZEV grants are no longer available for privately owned homes but are available for private renters, landlords and social housing providers in certain applications. Please discuss your needs with us. If you qualify for a grant, then we are authorised to administer the OZEV grant for you.

• OZEV grants for commercial premises. Please call us – If you qualify for a grant then we are authorised to administer the OZEV grant for you.
• Installation is safety critical. Only ever use OZEV authorised installers who also hold the necessary training and product accreditation for the EV charger being installed. This is critical with important related safety features to consider for different products.
• The size of your EV charger may be limited by the size of your electrical supply. Therefore, you might be limited to a 7.4KW charger which for most applications is ample for a full charge overnight. Generally, 21KW chargers need a three-phase supply. The DNO will advise us and might even provide you with a free upgrade.
• We will guide you towards more future proof solutions which can be readily integrated with solar and battery storage solutions.
• All new EV charger installations must be connected to the internet (SMART). We will only install OZEV compliant products which meet this criteria.
• Only approved product installers receive the full product warranty and support. This can be up to 5 years depending on the product.
• Tethered or non-tethered??? This means a cable and socket permanently attached to the car charger or a temporary cable which needs plugging to both the charger as well as the car each time. There are pros and cons and bear in mind that different vehicles have different sockets. Please call us to discuss your requirement.
• Our installers will set the charger up, all linked to wi-fi and ready to go. Just download the app, enter your charger details and away you go.

How long will it take?

After placing your order we will ask you for a few details including a photo of your Consumer Unit (fuse box) then we will do the rest for you. We will spend a few hours on the day installing your EV Charger before handing it over for you. It’s that simple.
We will do the leg work of:

Lead time is generally subject to availability of parts and labour. Fitting on the day is straight forward and normally takes 2 – 4 hours.

Commercial EV Charging

This is very similar to the process described above. There are also OZEV grants to support infrastructure. In any case, our team will identify and apply for the right grant for your business.

You may wish to discuss commercial charging units which can accept card payments. We can even supply car chargers with your own company branding displayed. Please call us to discuss your requirements.
