SUPPLY ASSESSMENT REQUIREDRapid and ultra-rapid chargers are generally found at public charging hubs, motorway services and larger commercial locations. They can charge substantially faster than a typical domestic wall charger.
Some compatible EV chargers can work alongside solar PV and other energy systems, helping make better use of electricity generated at the property.

GET YOUR EV CHARGER QUOTEEvery EV charger installation is different. The electrical supply, proposed charger position, cable route, parking arrangements and charger requirements all need to be considered before installation.
EV charging points can be installed at many suitable properties, including homes, workplaces, commercial premises and private parking areas.
The proposed charger location needs to work with the vehicle's normal parking position while allowing a practical and suitable electrical cable route.
The distance between the electrical supply and proposed charger position is an important part of the quotation. Longer or more complex routes may require additional cable, containment or installation work.
Routes through garages, external walls, lofts, driveways or outbuildings may all affect how the installation is designed.
Before installation, the existing electrical installation needs to be assessed to confirm that the supply, consumer unit and protective arrangements are suitable for the proposed EV charger.
The requirements will depend on the property, existing installation and charger being fitted.
Modern EV chargers can offer useful smart features depending on the make and model selected.
Compatible chargers may allow charging sessions, settings and usage information to be managed through a smartphone app.
Charging can often be scheduled for particular times, which may help you make use of suitable off-peak electricity tariffs.
Some chargers provide information about electricity used for vehicle charging, making it easier to monitor charging activity.
Selected chargers can work with compatible solar PV systems, allowing available solar generation to be used for vehicle charging where supported.
