Our Straightforward Electric Vehicle Charging Setup

Every property is wired differently, which is why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach to electric vehicle charging. Our comprehensive installation process ensures your home electrical system can safely handle the additional demand without overloading.Site Survey and Load Assessment: We inspect your current consumer unit, check your incoming supply, and assess the maximum demand to prevent future tripping or safety hazards.Bespoke System Recommendations: Based on your vehicle and property, we recommend the most efficient system, typically a high-performance 7kW wallbox for domestic homes.Professional Installation: Our engineers carry out the work with minimal disruption, neatly routing cables and ensuring a clean, weatherproof finish on your exterior walls.Testing and Handover: We conduct rigorous safety testing, demonstrate how to use your new smart charger, and issue all necessary electrical certificates.

Why Upgrade to a Dedicated 7kW Wallbox?

While it is technically possible to charge an electric car using a standard 3-pin socket, it is exceptionally slow and not recommended for prolonged, everyday use. Upgrading to a dedicated EV charging point offers significant advantages for modern motorists:Faster Charging Times: A dedicated 7kW wallbox charges your vehicle up to three times faster than a standard domestic socket, easily providing a full charge overnight.Smart Tariff Integration: Modern smart chargers allow you to schedule your charging sessions during off-peak hours, dramatically reducing your energy bills.Enhanced Electrical Safety: Dedicated units are built to handle continuous high-capacity loads safely, removing the fire risks associated with overloading standard sockets.Future-Proofing Your Home: Installing a permanent EV charger adds convenience and appeal, potentially increasing the value of your property as electric vehicles become the norm.

Common Questions About EV Charging Points

If you are new to electric vehicles, you likely have a few questions about preparing your property. Here are some of the most common queries we receive in the Tendring area.Do I need planning permission for an EV charger?In most cases, installing a wall-mounted charger falls under permitted development, meaning no formal planning permission is required. However, if you live in a listed building or a strict conservation area in Essex, special consent may be needed. We can advise you on this during our initial site survey.Can my current consumer unit handle a new charger?We perform a thorough maximum demand assessment prior to any installation. If your current fuse board is outdated or lacks the capacity for an EV charger, we can safely upgrade it. You can learn more about our consumer unit upgrades on our house rewiring page.Are OZEV grants still available?While the standard homeowner grant has ended, there is still funding available for flat owners, people in rented accommodation, and landlords. We can guide you on the latest eligibility criteria for workplace and residential grants.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional EV charger installation services in Felixstowe & Suffolk

How long does it take to install a home EV charger?

+

Most standard installations take between 3 and 5 hours. If your consumer unit is in a difficult location or the cable run to your driveway is particularly long, it might take a little longer. We always give you a time estimate after our initial survey.

Can I install a charger if I don't have a garage?

+

Yes, most chargers we install are weatherproof and designed to be mounted on an external wall. As long as you have off-street parking like a driveway, we can install a charging point for you. We can even install pedestal-mounted chargers if there isn't a suitable wall nearby.

Will my fuse box need upgrading for an EV charger?

+

Not always, but we will check this during our survey. If your consumer unit is very old or already full, we might need to install a small additional unit specifically for the charger. We make sure your home’s electrical system can handle the load without tripping your main fuse.

What is the difference between a tethered and untethered charger?

+

A tethered charger has the cable permanently attached, like a petrol pump. It is very convenient because you just pull up and plug in. An untethered charger is just a socket; you use your own cable. This looks neater on the wall and allows you to use different cables if you change cars. We can install both types depending on what you prefer.

How long does it take to install an EV charger at home?

+

For most standard homes, the installation takes between three to five hours. If your consumer unit is far away from where you want the charger, or if we need to do groundworks to run cables under a driveway, it might take a little longer. We will always give you a time estimate after our initial survey.

Can I install a charger if I don’t have a garage?

+

Absolutely. Most of the chargers we install are weatherproof and designed to be mounted on an external wall or a dedicated post near your driveway. As long as you have off-street parking, we can usually find a solution that works for you.

Will my current fuse box work with an EV charger?

+

In many cases, yes. However, if your fuse box is very old or doesn't have enough space for a new high-power circuit, we might need to install a small secondary unit or upgrade your existing board. We check this during our first visit so there are no surprises on the day of installation.

Is smart charging really necessary?

+

UK law now requires new home chargers to have "smart" capabilities. This allows the charger to communicate with the grid to avoid overloading during peak times. It also benefits you by allowing you to set the charger to only run when your electricity tariff is at its cheapest, saving you a significant amount of money over the year.
