Question 6

Can any electrician install an EV charger?

Accepted Answer

Technically yes, but you should always use an electrician who is registered with a government-approved scheme and experienced with EV charging systems. An unregistered installation may void your charger warranty, invalidate your home insurance, and won't come with the required certification. All our installs are fully certified.

Question 7

What type of EV charger should I get?

Accepted Answer

or most home users, a 7kW smart charger is the best choice, it fully charges overnight and lets you schedule charging around cheaper off-peak tariffs. If you're on a three-phase supply, a 22kW unit is an option. We'll recommend the right charger for your car, tariff, and budget when you get in touch.

Question 8

Will my home's electrics need upgrading for an EV charger?

Accepted Answer

Most modern homes can accommodate a 7kW charger without any electrical upgrades. Older properties with an ageing consumer unit or limited capacity may need some additional work, which we'll flag clearly in your quote. We carry out consumer unit upgrades and full rewires as well, so everything can be handled in one visit where possible.

Question 9

Do I need planning permission for a  home EV charger?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no. Domestic EV charger installations in England are permitted development and don't require planning permission. Listed buildings and some flat situations are exceptions, we'll flag any concerns during your free survey.

Question 10

Can you install a charger at a flat or  apartment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though it does depend on the setup. We can install chargers in allocated parking bays, garages, and some communal car parks. You may need written permission from your landlord or management company. Get in touch and we'll advise on the best approach for your situation.

Question 11

Do you carry out full house rewires?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As certified electricians we handle all domestic and commercial electrical work, from EV chargers and consumer unit upgrades to full rewires and fault finding. EV charging is our specialism, but there's no electrical job we won't quote for.

Question 12

How much can I save with solar panels?

Accepted Answer

The average UK household saves between £600 and £1,000 per year with a 4kWp solar system, depending on energy usage and tariff. Pairing solar with an EV charger means you can charge your car on free energy from your roof during the day. We'll provide an estimated payback period as part of your solar quote.
