Powering Your Future Sustainably
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Domestic EV Chargers can be installed at the same time as your solar panels, added later, or as a stand-alone installation. The most cost-effective option is to utilise excess self-generated energy from battery storage. Our expert consultants can work out your energy needs, including EV Charging based on your historic mileage to maximise your savings.

How Solar Batteries Accelerate Savings
Solar batteries store excess energy produced during daylight for use overnight, which is essential for households that are out at work during the day. Usually, any surplus energy left over is exported back to the grid via the Smart Export Guarantee that compensates you accordingly. This helps you recover the upfront cost of your investment sooner. However, on average you receive only 20% of the price your supplier charges you for the same amount of energy. Prioritising your EV Charging requirements allows you to use this surplus energy to power your vehicle instead, which is 5 times more efficient than buying it from the grid!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a home EV charger cost to install, and are there grants available?
A standard domestic 7kW smart charger installation typically costs between £800 and £1,200 including supply, full electrical fitting, cable routing, and safety testing.
Grants: While standard homeowners with driveways pay full price, renters, flat owners, and residential landlords can claim up to £500 off via the government’s EV Chargepoint Grant (increased from £350). As OZEV-approved installers, we handle the entire application process on your behalf and deduct the grant total directly from your final invoice.
How fast will a 7kW home charger charge my EV compared to a standard 3-pin plug?
A standard 3-pin domestic plug delivers only ~2.3kW. Charging a typical 60kWh battery this way can take over 24 hours and puts unnecessary strain on household sockets.
A dedicated 7kW wallbox is roughly 3 times faster, fully charging an average EV from 0% to 100% in 6 to 8 hours (or adding ~30 miles of range per hour). It allows you to reliably top up your car completely overnight while you sleep.
Can I integrate an EV charger with my solar panels or battery storage system?
Yes. We install solar-compatible smart chargers (such as the Myenergi Zappi or Hypervolt) designed to communicate with solar PV and home storage systems.
These chargers feature solar-matching modes (e.g., Eco & Eco+) that monitor your home’s power flow in real time. Rather than exporting surplus solar power back to the grid for pennies, the charger diverts 100% of your free, self-generated green energy directly into your electric vehicle.
How do smart EV tariffs work to reduce home charging costs?
All new chargers we fit comply with UK Smart Charge Point Regulations, featuring built-in Wi-Fi and app scheduling. By pairing a smart charger with dedicated off-peak EV tariffs (like Intelligent Octopus Go, OVO Charge Anytime, or E.ON Next Drive), you can schedule charging during off-peak window hours (typically midnight to 5am).
This drops charging costs to as little as 6.7p–7p per kWh—bringing the cost of a full 200+ mile charge down to under £5.
What electrical setup do I need, and can I install a 22kW charger at home?
Over 95% of UK residential properties run on a single-phase electrical supply, which supports a maximum output of 7.4kW. For home overnight charging, 7kW is more than sufficient.
22kW chargers require a three-phase electrical connection, which is rare in standard homes and usually found in commercial premises. During our desktop or site survey, we check your main fuse rating, earthing setup, and consumer unit to ensure your home is 100% safe and ready without needing costly grid upgrades.
