What's Included in Our EV Charger Installation Service
EV charger installation starts with assessing your existing electrical supply and consumer unit to confirm it can support the additional load, sometimes requiring a consumer unit upgrade alongside the charger itself. We then install the charging point, run the necessary circuit from your consumer unit, and test everything thoroughly before handing over, including a demonstration of how to use the charger.

We're a small, local team rather than a national call centre, so when you get in touch about ev charger installation you speak directly to someone who can give you a straight answer. Every job is carried out by our own NAPIT-registered electricians, so you know exactly who is doing the work and the standard to expect.
Our EV Charger Installation Process
Get in touch with details of your property and the type of charger you're considering, and we'll arrange a visit to assess your electrical supply and the best location for the charger. We'll advise honestly on what's needed, including whether your consumer unit needs upgrading to support the load. Once agreed, we install the charger, run and test the circuit, and show you how everything works before we leave.
When You Might Need EV Charger Installation
It's worth having an EV charger installed if you're relying on slow three-pin charging, planning to buy or already own an electric or hybrid vehicle, or running a business where staff or customers would benefit from on-site charging. Installing a dedicated charger is significantly faster and safer than repeatedly charging from a standard household socket.
Getting an Accurate Quote
Pricing for EV charger installation depends on the charger itself, the distance and route of the cable run from your consumer unit, and whether any upgrade work is needed to your existing electrical supply. We'll give you a clear, itemised quote after assessing your property, so you know exactly what you're paying for before committing.
EV ownership continues to grow across Northampton, Milton Keynes and Wellingborough, and having a reliable home or workplace charging point makes a real difference to day-to-day convenience compared with relying on public charging infrastructure. We stay familiar with the current generation of home and commercial chargers so we can give you practical, up-to-date advice rather than outdated recommendations.
Getting Started
If you're not yet sure which charger to choose, we're happy to talk through the practical differences between options, including charging speed, smart features, and physical installation requirements for your specific property. Getting this right from the start means you end up with a charger that actually suits how you'll use your vehicle day to day.
As EV charging technology continues to develop, we keep ourselves updated on current best practice and product options, so the advice and installations we provide reflect what's genuinely current, not outdated guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions: EV Charger Installation
Will my consumer unit need upgrading for an EV charger?
Not always, it depends on your existing setup. We'll assess this as part of the installation process and let you know honestly if an upgrade is needed.
Can you install a charger on a driveway some distance from the house?
Yes, we can run circuits to chargers positioned away from the main consumer unit, though longer cable runs may affect the overall price.
Do you install chargers for businesses as well as homes?
Yes, we install both single home chargers and multi-point setups for workplaces, retail premises and other commercial sites.
How long does EV charger installation take?
Most straightforward home installations can be completed in a day, though this depends on the distance from your consumer unit and whether any upgrade work is needed.
Can I choose which charger brand gets installed?
Yes, we're happy to install a charger you've already chosen, or advise on options if you're not sure which brand or model suits your needs.
Is EV charger installation eligible for any grants or schemes?
Grant schemes change over time, so it's worth checking current government or manufacturer schemes, we can advise on what we know at the time of your enquiry.
Can you install a charger for a flat or property without a private driveway?
This depends on your specific circumstances, including access to a suitable electrical supply and any permissions needed. Get in touch and we can talk through what's possible for your property.
Do smart EV chargers need a home WiFi connection?
