Charging at home should make life easier
If you're planning to buy an electric vehicle, charging at home can make everyday life much simpler. Choosing the right charger from the start can also reduce running costs, which is why understanding the available options before installation is always worthwhile.
Everything starts with understanding your property
Every installation starts with a survey to understand your property, electrical supply and charging requirements. This can often be done using photographs, video or FaceTime if that's easier. Once everything has been assessed, suitable charger options and a clear quotation are provided.
Designed for homeowners and businesses
Most installations are carried out for homeowners, although workplace charging is also available for businesses. Whether it's your first EV or additional chargers for staff parking, the recommendation is always based on how the charger will actually be used, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Choosing the right charger matters
Many chargers look similar, but they don't all offer the same long-term value. Spending a little more on the right charger could unlock cheaper electricity tariffs and lower running costs, so every option is explained clearly before you decide what best suits you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which EV charger is right for me?
Not every EV charger offers the same features or long-term benefits. Before recommending a charger, your property, electrical setup, vehicle, and charging habits are all considered so you can choose an option that suits both your needs and your budget.
Do I need a survey before an EV charger can be installed?
Yes. A survey helps assess your property's electrical installation and determine the best location for the charger. In many cases, this can be completed using photographs, videos, or a FaceTime call if it's more convenient than arranging a site visit.
How long does it take to install an EV charger?
Once the survey has been completed and the quotation approved, installations can often be arranged within days. The aim is always to provide a quicker turnaround than many larger installation companies, who can often have much longer waiting times.
Can you install EV chargers at businesses as well as homes?
Yes. While most installations are carried out for homeowners, EV chargers can also be installed at offices, warehouses, and other commercial premises for staff or business vehicles.
Is it worth paying more for a premium EV charger?
Sometimes it is. Premium chargers can offer additional features and, in some cases, access to cheaper electricity tariffs. Although they may cost more initially, they can reduce charging costs over time, making them better value in the long run.
Will my home's electrical system support an EV charger?
Most properties can accommodate an EV charger, but every installation is different. The survey allows the existing electrical installation to be assessed so any requirements can be identified before work begins.
Can I charge my car overnight?
Yes. Many people choose to charge overnight so the vehicle is ready the following morning. Charging during off-peak hours can also help reduce electricity costs when using a suitable tariff.
Will I be given different charger options?
Absolutely. Rather than recommending the same charger for every property, the available options are explained clearly so you can compare features, costs, and long-term benefits before making a decision.
Will I know exactly what the installation will cost?
Yes. Once the survey has been completed and the installation requirements are understood, you'll receive a clear quotation before any work is carried out, so you know exactly what to expect.
