EV Charger
Installation in South Wales

A standard home EV charger installation in South Wales typically costs £800–£1,500 depending on your property and electrical system. OZEV grants can reduce this cost by up to £350. If a consumer unit upgrade is required, this adds to the cost. We provide free site surveys and detailed fixed-price quotes before any work begins — no hidden charges.

Yes, the OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant provides up to £350 towards home EV charger installation for eligible properties. As OZEV approved installers, we handle the entire grant application process for you. The grant is available for homeowners and renters with off-street parking.

Most home EV charger installations take 3–5 hours from start to finish. If electrical upgrades are needed (new consumer unit, earthing improvements, dedicated circuit), installation may take a full day. We always provide a realistic timeframe when booking.

Absolutely. We specialise in EV charger installations across the Cardiff Capital Region luxury property belt (Lisvane, Cyncoed, Penylan, Radyr, Whitchurch, Pontprennau), the Vale of Glamorgan (Penarth, Cowbridge, Sully, Llantwit Major), Monmouthshire (Monmouth, Abergavenny, Usk, Chepstow, Shirenewton, Raglan), and the Swansea/Gower coast (Mumbles, Langland, Caswell, Bishopston, Sketty, Killay, Newton). We cover over 60 areas across South Wales.

Not always, but many older properties need a consumer unit upgrade to safely support an EV charger. We assess your electrical system during the free site survey and advise on any necessary upgrades. Many premium properties in South Wales have modern consumer units already capable of supporting EV charging. If an upgrade is needed, we can complete both the consumer unit upgrade and EV charger installation in a single visit.

We install all major brands and recommend based on your specific needs. Zappi by myenergi is excellent for solar integration and is very popular in South Wales. Ohme offers smart tariff optimisation (great for Octopus Energy customers) and is popular in premium Cardiff and Newport postcodes. Easee provides a compact, stylish design. Wallbox is a premium option with excellent app control. We recommend the best option based on your vehicle, budget, solar setup, and requirements.

Yes, all modern electric vehicles use the standard Type 2 connector in the UK. Whether you drive a Tesla Model 3, Nissan Leaf, BMW i4, Porsche Taycan, Jaguar I-PACE, Audi e-tron, Volkswagen ID.4, Hyundai IONIQ 5, or any other EV, our chargers are fully compatible. Tesla vehicles use a CCS adapter for Type 2 charging.

Yes, we regularly install EV chargers on new-build estates across South Wales, including Pontprennau, Broadlands, St Mellons, Pencoed, Coity, and Laleston. New build properties typically have modern electrical systems well-suited to EV charger installation, often requiring minimal additional work. We work with developers and individual homeowners on new-build installations.

A 7kW (32A) home EV charger is the standard for domestic installations in the UK. It charges most electric vehicles at around 25-30 miles of range per hour. For a typical 60kWh battery (e.g. Nissan Leaf, BMW i3), a full charge from empty takes around 8-9 hours — perfect for overnight charging. This is significantly faster than a standard 3-pin plug (2.3kW), which would take 24+ hours for the same charge.

Yes, smart EV chargers like the Zappi by myenergi can integrate with solar PV systems to charge your EV using surplus solar energy. This is increasingly popular in South Wales as solar panel adoption grows. The Zappi can be set to charge only when solar generation exceeds household consumption, effectively giving you free EV charging from your own solar panels.

Yes, we install commercial EV charging solutions for businesses, car parks, hotels, offices, and retail premises across South Wales. Commercial installations can include multiple charging points, load management systems, and payment solutions. We work with businesses of all sizes to design and install the right commercial EV charging solution.
