Mark & Priya S.

Wimbledon, Southwest London

★★★★★

"Clear advice on 7kW vs faster options and honest about when we did not need a consumer unit upgrade. Professional from survey to certificate."

Oliver T.

Kensal Rise, Northwest London

Home EV Charging Tips

7kW AC home EV charger graphic — overnight full battery for typical London commute electricalworks

7kW is enough for most homes

Overnight charging at 7kW typically restores a full battery for daily driving. Faster speeds often need three-phase, which is uncommon in UK houses.

Side-by-side tethered and untethered EV wallboxes — hardware choice for London driveways OZEV

Tethered vs untethered

Tethered units are convenient if you own one EV; socket-only units keep your cable portable for guests or future cars.

Smart EV charger app scheduling — off-peak Octopus-style tariffs for London homes electricalworks

Schedule for cheaper rates

Smart chargers let you align charging with off-peak electricity windows once your tariff supports it.

UK government OZEV logo — EV chargepoint grant eligibility for flats and rentals London electricalworks

Grants change - ask us

OZEV eligibility for flats and rental properties is subject to government rules; we confirm what applies before you commit.

Main protective bonding conductors — TT and PME earthing for outdoor EV chargers London BS 7671

Earthing matters outdoors

External chargers need correct earth fault protection; we never take shortcuts on TT or PME supplies.

Plan cable capacity

We size conductors so you can upgrade charger power later if your supply and board allow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need permission to install a home charger?

Most wall-mounted chargers on driveways fall under permitted development, but listed buildings and some flats need landlord or planning input. We advise on typical London cases at survey stage.

Will the charger overload my house supply?

We calculate maximum demand and may specify dynamic load control or, in some cases, a supply upgrade if you want the fastest charging alongside high electrical loads.

How long does installation take?

Many domestic installs complete in one day once materials are on site. Complex cable runs or board upgrades can extend this; your quote states expected duration.

Can you integrate with solar panels?

Yes, when your inverter and charger support it. We configure export diversion or tariff-based charging according to manufacturer guidance.

Premium home EV charger installation — OZEV-approved wallbox fitting London electrician GThink Ltd

Why our home EV quotes cost what they do

Your wallbox is only as good as the circuit behind it. We price for correct protection, testing and documentation - not shortcuts that fail at inspection.

What you are paying for on a typical install:

  • Supply checks: Earthing, spare capacity and load management so the charger coexists with ovens, heat pumps and showers.
  • Materials: SWA or appropriate cable, steel containment where exposed, and RCBO/RCD selection matched to the manufacturer’s earth regime.
  • Certification: BS 7671 test sheets, EIC or Minor Works, and Part P notification when notifiable.
  • Aftercare: Clear handover on app limits, tariff windows and who to call if a fault light appears.

"We would rather explain the price once than apologise for a rushed install for years."
