This is how fast your charger works. 7kW is the standard speed for a home charger and suits almost every UK house. 11kW and 22kW charge faster but need a three-phase electricity supply, which most homes do not have — we will check what is possible for your property.

Tethered means the charging cable is permanently attached to the charger, so you just plug straight into your car. Untethered means the charger has a socket and you plug in your own cable each time, like a public charging point.

How far the charging cable reaches from the charger to your car. Pick a length that comfortably reaches where you park, without being stretched tight.

Basic app control lets you start, stop and schedule charging from your phone. Solar PV Integration is for homes with solar panels — it automatically uses your own solar power to charge the car when it is available.

Roughly how far your charger will be from your fuse box (consumer unit), following the route the cable will need to run — not just a straight line. Longer cable runs need more materials and labour, which is why they cost a bit more.

What the wall is made of where the charger will be mounted. Brick or smooth render is the easiest and cheapest surface to fix a charger to. Pebble dash, render, timber or cladding need extra preparation work, which is why they add a small cost.

Whether you have your own driveway or off-street parking, or you are in a flat or rely on on-street parking. Flats and on-street parking often need extra checks (such as landlord or council permission, or a longer cable run), which is why we may need to arrange a site visit first.

Your consumer unit (fuse box) needs enough spare capacity and the right type of breaker to safely run a dedicated circuit for your EV charger. Most modern units just need an extra breaker added; older or fully-used units may need a bigger upgrade. Not sure which applies to you? A quick photo of your existing unit lets us tell you for certain.

An earthing rod is a safety rod driven into the ground outside your property. Depending on how your home’s electricity supply is earthed, one may be needed to make EV charging safe — we will confirm whether yours needs one.

If the cable route from your fuse box to the charger needs to run underground or outside somewhere it could be damaged, it has to be a tougher armoured cable laid in a trench. Most driveway or wall-mounted installs do not need this — it mainly applies to longer or more exposed cable runs.

A pedestal (or bollard) is a freestanding post the charger is mounted on, used when there is no suitable wall nearby — for example, if the charger needs to sit partway down a driveway.

Standard lead time is our normal installation scheduling. Express means we prioritise your job to get it installed within 7 days, for an extra fee — useful if you need your charger in a hurry.
