Make the switch to electric driving easier with a home EV charging point. We install all major brands including Pod Point, Wallbox, and Easee, ensuring safe installation with proper earthing and load management. Charge your vehicle overnight at a fraction of public charging costs.
Switching to an electric vehicle is far easier with a dedicated charging point at home or work, and a properly installed unit makes overnight charging effortless. We fit all the major brands, including Pod Point, Wallbox and Easee, matching the charger to how you drive and where you park. A 7kW unit suits most households, comfortably topping up a typical EV battery overnight so you wake up to a full charge each morning. For the rural driveways common around Haverhill and the wider Suffolk villages, a fixed charge point spares commuters the daily hunt for public chargers and the slow trickle of a three-pin lead.
Every installation begins with a proper assessment of your electrical supply and consumer unit. We check the available capacity, confirm the earthing arrangement and, where needed, fit load management so the charger never overloads your incoming supply. This is safety-critical work: EV chargers demand correct earthing protection, dedicated circuits and the right protective devices, all of which we install in line with current wiring regulations.
We also take care over the practical details, planning a tidy cable route from your consumer unit to the charge point so the finished job looks neat and stays protected from the weather. As NAPIT-registered electricians, our work is fully Part P compliant and certified, with everything tested and documented on completion. Whether you need a single home charger or a workplace setup, owner Harry Crane will talk you through the options and arrange a free, no-obligation quote.
The cost depends on a handful of factors rather than a single fixed figure. The biggest influences are the charger model you choose, the length and complexity of the cable run between your consumer unit and the parking spot, and whether any supply or consumer-unit work is needed to support the new circuit safely. Most homes are straightforward, but properties needing a supply upgrade or load management will involve a little more work. The best way to know exactly what your installation involves is a quick assessment, after which we provide a clear, free no-obligation quote with everything itemised before any work begins.
You can, using a portable three-pin "granny" charger, but it is not a long-term solution. Charging this way is slow, often taking well over a day to fully replenish a larger battery, and standard household sockets and wiring are not designed for the sustained high current an EV draws over many hours. That can put strain on your electrics and create a safety risk. A dedicated 7kW charge point is far faster, charges most EVs overnight, and is wired on its own protected circuit with proper earthing, making it both safer and far more convenient for everyday driving.
In most cases, no. The majority of home EV charger installations fall under permitted development and need no planning permission, so they can simply be fitted and certified. There are some exceptions: listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, and chargers mounted on a wall facing or close to a highway may require planning consent. Workplace and commercial installations can also have their own considerations. We will check the situation for your specific property and advise you clearly before any work starts, so there are no surprises and the installation stays fully compliant.
For most households a 7kW charger is the ideal choice, charging a typical electric vehicle in roughly four to eight hours, which comfortably covers an overnight charge. We install trusted brands including Pod Point, Wallbox and Easee, all known for reliability and good app control. The right unit for you depends on how you drive, where you park, and whether you want features such as smart scheduling or solar integration. We will walk you through the realistic options for your home, recommend a charger that genuinely suits your needs, and make sure it is installed safely and certified.
In most homes, yes, but we always confirm it rather than assume. Before installation we assess your electrical supply, consumer unit and available spare capacity, and check the earthing arrangement, which is especially important for EV charging. Some older or higher-demand properties may need a consumer-unit upgrade or a load management device, which automatically balances the charger against the rest of the household so the supply is never overloaded. As NAPIT-registered electricians we carry out all this work to current regulations and Part P standards, and we will explain clearly what your property needs as part of your free quote.
