How long does a home EV charger installation realistically take?

Assuming a standard route where the consumer unit is relatively close to the external parking space, the heavy wiring, mounting, and software commissioning typically takes a tidy 3 hours.

Do I need council permission to install an EV charger?

If you own the freehold house and it is not a protected listed building, "Permitted Development" usually covers it. You DO need permission if it's a leasehold flat, or if cables must cross a public pavement.

What if my consumer unit has no spare fuse ways?

Not a problem. We simply split the incoming power via Henley blocks and install a dedicated secondary mini-consumer unit specifically for the EV charger feed.

Do I need to inform my energy provider?

The DNO (Distribution Network Operator for the region) must be notified whenever a massive continuous load like a 7kW charger is added to the grid. We manage this entire DNO notification and application process for you.

Intelligent Home EV Charging

A standard 3-pin plug takes 24+ hours to charge a modern EV—it is unsafe and impractical. We install dedicated 7kW home smart chargers capable of fully charging large-battery EVs overnight. We perform massive load tests on your main fuse, securely route armored cable to your driveway, mount the sleek charge point, and configure the smart app to harvest ultra-cheap electricity during off-peak night tariffs (like Octopus Go or Agile).

Workplace Fleet Charging & Load Balancing

For businesses electrifying their fleets, the challenge is massive grid drain. We design scalable pedestals and wall-mounted setups armed with dynamic load balancing. This brilliant technology monitors your building's live power usage; if the factory machinery turns on, the EV chargers temporarily reduce output, preventing your main building fuse from violently blowing. We also facilitate the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) voucher claims to slash installation costs.
