Electric Car Charging Point Installers
Did you know that around 2–3% of vehicles in the UK are already hybrid or fully electric? With the ban on new petrol and diesel cars set for 2030, more drivers are making the switch than ever. But as many EV owners quickly discover, public chargers can be hard to find or busy when you need them most.
That’s why more homeowners and businesses are choosing to install their own EV charging points — offering a faster, safer, and far more convenient way to keep vehicles charged and ready.
EV charging for your Home
Enjoy the ease of plugging in at home overnight, taking advantage of low-rate energy tariffs and waking up to a fully charged car.
EV charging for your Business
Support your staff, customers or fleet with dedicated charging bays, helping you meet sustainability goals and add real value to your property.
Why Installing an EV Charger is a Smart Investment
✅ Charge on your schedule
No more hunting for public chargers or waiting in queues. Plug in at home or work and always start the day fully topped up.
✅ Save money long term
Take advantage of cheaper overnight electricity rates and smart charging, reducing your running costs to just a few pence per mile.
✅ Boost your property value
EV chargers are a sought-after feature for homebuyers and tenants, future-proofing your property as more people go electric.
✅ Stay ahead of the curve
With petrol and diesel bans on the horizon, investing now means you’re ready for the future — and already cutting your carbon footprint.
✅Simple, safe & compliant
A professionally installed charger gives you faster, safer charging that meets the latest regulations and qualifies for government grants.

1 - Can I get a government grant?
Yes — most homeowners and landlords can claim up to £350 off the cost through the OZEV EV chargepoint grant. We’ll handle all the paperwork to make it simple.
2 - How long does installation take?
Most standard home installations take just a few hours. Larger commercial or multi-point setups can take a day or more, depending on your site.
3 - What’s the difference between tethered and untethered chargers?
A tethered charger comes with a cable permanently attached (like a petrol pump), while an untethered charger has a socket so you can use your own cable. We’ll help you decide what’s best for your needs.
4 - Will I need to upgrade my electrics?
In most cases, no — but if your fuse board or incoming supply needs attention, we’ll advise you and take care of any upgrades needed to keep your installation safe and compliant.
5 - Can I use my charger with smart tariffs?
Absolutely. Many chargers work with tariffs like Octopus Go or Intelligent, allowing you to schedule charging at off-peak times for ultra-low rates.
