New home chargers must be smart chargers that can be scheduled. Every charger we fit meets the rules.
Telling the network operator
The network operator (DNO) needs to know about new EV chargers. We handle the notification.

FAQs
Common questions

That’s where we come in! It depends on your car, your tariff and whether you have solar. We install trusted brands such as myenergi Zappi and Ohme and will recommend one that suits you.

Yes, it can! Some smart chargers, such as the myenergi Zappi, can charge your car from surplus solar, so you make the most of your own generation.

We’ll give you a clear timescale after the survey! It depends on the cable route and your supply, and we’ll keep you in the loop throughout.
