Where We Install

Frequently Asked Questions

Get in touch
How long does an EV charger installation take?

Most straightforward home installs are a half-day to a full day.

Do I qualify for the EV chargepoint grant?

The current OZEV grant (£350) is restricted to flat owners and renters. Owner-occupiers in houses no longer qualify.

Which EV charger should I choose?

For solar self-consumption: Zappi. For app-led smart scheduling: Ohme or Hypervolt. For minimalist looks: Andersen. For workplace fleets: Hypervolt or Project EV.

Can I have a charger installed without off-street parking?

Yes, in some cases — Surrey County Council has on-street chargepoint schemes, and channel solutions like Kerbo Charge let you run a cable across the pavement legally.

Do you fit chargers I've already bought?

Yes, as long as it's an OZEV-approved, BS EN 61851-compliant unit.

Will the charger affect my electricity bill?

Only when you're charging. Pair it with an EV tariff (Octopus Go, Intelligent Octopus, EDF GoElectric) and you'll typically charge for 6–9p/kWh overnight.
