Home EV Charger InstallationCharge Faster. Save More.

A dedicated home charger transforms your EV ownership experience. Faster charging, lower costs, and the convenience of waking up to a full battery every morning — without ever visiting a public charging station.

The case for home charging:

• Cost savings: Home electricity costs 7-8p per mile compared to 15-20p+ for petrol. Switch to an EV-specific tariff with cheap overnight rates and save even more.
• Convenience: No queuing at public chargers, no apps to manage, no payment complications. Plug in when you get home, unplug when you leave.
• Speed: A 7kW home charger delivers 25-30 miles of range per hour — enough to fully charge most EVs overnight. That's 7x faster than a standard 3-pin socket.
• Safety: Dedicated chargers include thermal protection, earth fault detection, and are designed for sustained high-power use. Plug sockets aren't engineered for this duty cycle.
• Property value: Home EV chargers are increasingly expected by buyers. Installation now adds appeal to your property.

Who needs an EV charger? Any EV owner in Croydon, Bromley, Sutton, or the wider London area with off-street parking. Whether you've just ordered your first electric car or you're upgrading from a granny charger, a proper installation makes all the difference.

Many new EV owners start by charging from a standard 3-pin plug using the 'granny charger' cable supplied with their car. While this works as a temporary solution, it's not designed for daily use.

Why plug socket charging falls short:

• Painfully slow: A 3-pin socket delivers only 2.3kW — taking 20-24 hours to fully charge a typical EV. You'll never start the day with a full battery unless you plan days ahead.
• Overheating risk: Standard sockets aren't designed for sustained high-current draw. Hours of continuous use at maximum load causes overheating, potentially damaging the socket, wiring, or even causing fire.
• Wear and tear: Daily plugging and unplugging degrades domestic sockets quickly. You'll need socket replacement within months.
• No smart features: No scheduling, no tariff integration, no consumption monitoring. You're missing out on significant cost savings from overnight charging rates.
• Circuit overload: Your car competes with other household loads on the same circuit. Running a kettle while charging could trip your breaker.

The solution: A dedicated EV charger on its own circuit, properly rated for the job, with built-in safety features and smart charging control. Installation costs are modest compared to the convenience and safety benefits.

We supply and install all major EV charger brands. Our recommendations are based on your specific needs — not manufacturer incentives. Here's an overview of popular options:

Untethered Chargers

Untethered chargers have a socket that accepts your car's charging cable. Ideal if you have multiple EVs with different connectors, or if you prefer to store your cable in the car. Brands include Wallbox Pulsar, Pod Point Solo, and Easee One.

Tethered Chargers

Tethered chargers have a permanently attached cable — just grab and plug in. More convenient for single-vehicle households. The cable is always ready and doesn't need storing. Popular options include Ohme Home Pro, Andersen A2, and Hypervolt Home.

Smart Chargers

All chargers we install are 'smart' as required by regulations from 2022 onwards. They connect to WiFi for app control, scheduled charging, tariff integration, and load management. Some integrate with solar PV systems for free daytime charging.

Three-Phase Chargers

For faster charging (11kW or 22kW), three-phase supply is required. This suits commercial premises or homes with existing three-phase supply. We can advise whether three-phase is beneficial for your situation.

Load Management

If your home supply can't comfortably support a 7kW charger alongside normal household use, we install dynamic load management. This automatically adjusts charging speed based on other electrical demand, preventing overload.
