EV Charger Installation - OZEV-approved installer - NICEIC certified - DNO notifications filed - Tethered & untethered options - Smart charger compatible Service overview ## What's involved in ev charger installation. Plain-English breakdown, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why it matters before we set foot on site. ### What it is Domestic and small commercial EV charger installations, 7kW and 22kW single and three-phase units, tethered or untethered, smart-app controlled. Cable runs, consumer unit upgrades, load management and Open EV Charge Point Regulations compliance handled end to end. ### Who it's for Homeowners taking delivery of a new EV, landlords adding charging to a rental property, and small commercial sites adding workplace or fleet charging. ### When you need it EV ordered with a known delivery date; tariff change to overnight charging coming up; or workplace adding fleet vehicles and needs charging in place. ### Why it matters Cheap, non-certified installs can damage the vehicle's onboard charger, trip the consumer unit nightly, and void manufacturer warranties. OZEV-approved installation protects all three. The cost of doing nothing ## What goes wrong when this is ignored. Most EV charger problems are wiring problems, not charger problems. Under-sized cable, missing earth fault protection and skipped DNO notifications cause most of the call-outs we attend. ### Risks of waiting - Under-sized supply cable causes voltage drop and slow charging, and overheats in hot weather. - Missing Type A or Type B RCD protection puts the vehicle's onboard electronics at risk. - No DNO notification means an unlawful install that can be enforced and disconnected. - Poor load management trips the main fuse when the EV charges alongside an oven and a shower. ### Common mistakes - Buying the charger online and asking a non-approved electrician to fit it, voids the OZEV grant if eligible. - Skipping the consumer unit upgrade where the existing board can't take the load. - Mounting the charger out of reach of a sensible cable run, adding metres of trunking after the fact. - Forgetting that future three-phase upgrades cost more to retrofit than to design in at the first install.

[07480 485988](tel:+447480485988) ### Domestic 7kW installations The most common install, a 7kW single-phase tethered or untethered charger fitted to an exterior wall with a tidy cable run back to the consumer unit. We add Type A or Type B RCBO protection, upgrade the consumer unit if needed, and commission the smart-app for off-peak charging. ### Three-phase 22kW installations Where a three-phase supply is available, a 22kW charger delivers significantly faster charging, useful for plug-in hybrids switching to BEVs or for households with two EVs sharing one charger. We confirm the supply, file the DNO notification and design load management. ### Small commercial and workplace charging Workplace charging for small fleets and customer-facing sites, multi-unit installs, load-balancing across chargers, back-office reporting and OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme support where eligible.
