MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) is the quality assurance standard for renewable energy installations in the UK. Our MCS certification means we meet rigorous technical and customer service standards, and it’s essential if you want to integrate your EV charger with solar panels or access certain government schemes. All our installations are carried out by MCS-certified engineers, giving you peace of mind that the work meets the highest industry standards and is eligible for any available incentives.

Yes, all EV charger installations require notification to your local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) to ensure your electrical supply can handle the additional load. Don’t worry—we handle all DNO notifications and approvals as part of our installation service at no extra cost. This is a legal requirement under G99 regulations, and our team ensures full compliance before any work begins.

A single charging point can only charge one vehicle at a time. However, many of our commercial chargers offer dual-socket configurations, allowing you to charge two vehicles simultaneously (with power split between them). For homes or businesses with multiple EVs, we can install multiple charging points with load-balancing technology to manage power distribution efficiently.

A standard domestic EV charger installation typically takes 3-4 hours, depending on the complexity of the electrical work required and the distance from your consumer unit to the charger location. Commercial installations may take longer depending on the number of charging points and any necessary electrical infrastructure upgrades. We’ll provide a clear timeline during your site survey.

7kW single-phase chargers are ideal for domestic installations where overnight charging is sufficient—they’ll fully charge most EVs in 6-8 hours. 22kW three-phase chargers are designed for commercial settings, fleet vehicles, or homes with three-phase power supply where faster charging is essential. Our experts will assess your electrical supply, usage patterns, and vehicle requirements to recommend the right power output for your needs.

Most of our domestic and commercial chargers feature smart connectivity with dedicated smartphone apps. These allow you to schedule charging during off-peak hours to save money, monitor energy usage in real-time, receive notifications when charging is complete, and even integrate with solar panels to maximize renewable energy use—all from anywhere with an internet connection.

All our EV chargers come with manufacturer warranties, typically ranging from 3-5 years depending on the brand and model. Our expert installation work is also guaranteed, and we provide ongoing technical support for any questions or issues. Should you experience any problems, our team is just a phone call away to provide assistance or arrange a service visit.

Most UK homes can accommodate a 7kW single-phase charger without major upgrades. However, we conduct a comprehensive electrical survey during our site visit to ensure your system is compatible and safe. If any upgrades are needed (such as consumer unit replacement or earthing improvements), we’ll identify these upfront and include them in your quote. Our qualified electricians can handle all necessary work.

Charging at home typically costs 7-10p per kWh on a standard electricity tariff, meaning a full charge costs approximately £4-£10 depending on your vehicle’s battery size. With an EV-specific energy tariff, you can pay as little as 4-5p per kWh during off-peak hours. This compares to £15-£30 for a full charge at public rapid charging stations—a saving of up to 70%. *Public charging can cost over £80 fora full charge at a motorway service station*

*All costs are approx. at time of publishing – 11/25*

Tethered chargers have a permanently attached cable (typically 5-7 meters long), making them convenient and always ready to use—you simply plug straight into your vehicle. Untethered chargers require you to use your vehicle’s own charging cable, offering more flexibility if you have multiple EVs with different connector types or prefer a neater appearance when not in use.

Absolutely! Our EV chargers work perfectly as standalone units connected to your mains electricity supply. However, pairing them with solar panels and battery storage maximizes your savings by allowing you to charge your vehicle with free solar energy, reducing your running costs to virtually zero.

Most domestic EV charger installations are covered by permitted development rights and don’t require planning permission in the UK. However, listed buildings, conservation areas, or flats may have specific restrictions. Our team will advise on your particular situation during the initial survey and handle any necessary permissions on your behalf.

Charging time depends on your vehicle’s battery size and charger speed. A typical 7kW home charger fully charges most EVs in 6-8 hours overnight—perfect for domestic use. Our 22kW commercial chargers can reduce this to 2-3 hours for compatible vehicles, ideal for business applications where faster turnaround is essential.
