Most UK homes run a standard single-phase electricity supply, which is exactly what a home EV charger is designed for — typically charging at 7kW, several times faster than plugging into a normal socket. For most electric cars, that's enough to take a battery from empty to full overnight, and more than enough to top up the day's driving in a few hours. A tethered charger comes with the cable already attached, ready to plug straight into your car; an untethered one has a socket instead, so you use your car's own cable — useful if you'd rather store the cable indoors, or drive more than one type of EV.

Chargers we install
Every charger here does the core job well — the real differences are in extras. The SolaX and FOX chargers are the budget-friendly, no-frills options. The myenergi zappi is built specifically to prioritise your own solar generation over grid power if you've got panels. Ohme's chargers lean into smart tariff scheduling, automatically charging during the cheapest overnight rate window your supplier offers. The Tesla charger is the fastest of the lineup. If you're not sure, the free remote survey is the place to talk it through — there's no wrong choice, just different priorities.

Why distance affects your price
Every charger price includes a standard install, but the distance from your meter (or consumer unit) to where the charger goes on your wall isn't the same for every house. A longer cable run means more armoured cable, more labour, and sometimes more groundwork — so it's priced separately and transparently, rather than hidden inside one flat number that doesn't reflect your actual house.
Charge while rates are cheapest
Many energy suppliers offer a cheaper overnight rate specifically for EV charging — often a fraction of the daytime price. Smart chargers like the ones we install can be scheduled to only draw power during those cheap hours automatically, so you plug in whenever you get home and the charger handles the timing itself. Worth asking your supplier what's available before your install, so we can help you get the schedule set up from day one.
