EV Charger Installation

What we check before installation

We confirm the vehicle and charging expectations, off-street parking position, property supply, consumer-unit capacity, earthing, cable length and likely data connection. Photos can help with an initial estimate, but some properties need an on-site survey.

• Incoming supply and maximum demand
• Consumer-unit protection and spare capacity
• Suitable charger position and reach
• Internal, external or buried cable route
• Load curtailment or dynamic load balancing
• Wi-Fi, mobile or wired connectivity
• Permissions for rented, leasehold or managed property

Smart charging and product choice

Private domestic and workplace charge points sold in Great Britain are subject to smart-charge-point rules. The right product also depends on vehicle compatibility, tethered or untethered preference, solar integration, app features and available connectivity.

We avoid recommending a unit solely on headline charging speed. The usable rate may be limited by the vehicle, supply, charger setting or load-management design.

EV charging for landlords and workplaces

Shared parking, billing, permissions, future expansion and maintenance become more important on multi-user sites. A staged design can reserve capacity or infrastructure for later sockets rather than treating each installation in isolation.

Current OZEV grants

Government EV charge-point grants and eligibility change over time. As of 2026, support remains available for some renters, flat owners, landlords, workplaces and other eligible applicants. Grant claims require the applicable scheme rules, approved equipment and an authorised installer. We confirm whether grant work is within our verified scope before it forms part of a quotation.

Testing, setup and handover

After installation, the circuit and charging equipment are tested, settings are checked and the customer is shown normal operation, isolation and smart controls. Documentation is provided for the electrical work completed.

EV charger installer Leeds — what a standard installation includes

A standard installation covers a wall- or post-mounted 7kW charger within around 10 metres of the consumer unit, a dedicated circuit with its own RCD protection and surge protection, an earthing arrangement that meets the current regulations for EV charging, commissioning of the charger and app, and the certificate and notification. Our standard installation starts from £850 including a tethered 7kW charger; installing a charger you have bought yourself starts from £350. Longer cable runs, a consumer unit upgrade or a driveway post are quoted separately. See EV charger prices.

Which EV charger?

We install the main UK brands — Ohme, Hypervolt, Zappi, Pod Point, Easee and others — and will recommend based on how you charge. If you are on an off-peak EV tariff, a charger with good scheduling matters more than the badge. If you have or plan solar, a Zappi or similar with solar diversion makes sense. Tethered chargers are more convenient; untethered look tidier and suit households with more than one car type.

EV charging for landlords, flats and workplaces

We install chargers for rental properties, small blocks with allocated parking and business premises across Leeds. Workplace and landlord installations may be eligible for the OZEV grants referenced above; we can confirm eligibility and handle the paperwork where the scheme requires an approved installer.
