EV Charger Installation in Derby
Charge your electric vehicle at home or at your business with a properly installed, certified charge point. Our qualified electricians design and fit EV chargers that are safe, future-proof, and ready to work with solar.
EV Charger Installation You Can Rely On in Derby
An electric vehicle is only as convenient as the charging behind it, and a properly installed home or workplace charge point transforms daily ownership. As NICEIC Approved Contractors, we install Hypervolt and BG Sync EV chargers and handle the full electrical integration, from assessing your consumer unit and supply capacity through to running a dedicated circuit, commissioning the unit, and connecting it to your home network or solar generation. Every installation is tested and certified, with clear communication from first contact through to handover.
“Give a Shit & Do The Right Thing” — our standard for every single customer emergency.
The Case for a Properly Installed EV Charger
Charging an electric vehicle is very different to running a kettle. A dedicated, certified charge point is faster, safer, and far more convenient than relying on a household socket.
Charge Overnight at Home
A dedicated home charger means you start every day with a full battery, charging far faster than a standard three-pin plug and avoiding the daily detour to a public charge point.
Lower Charging Costs
Smart chargers can schedule charging to cheaper overnight electricity tariffs, and when paired with solar you can run your car on energy your own panels have already generated.
Safer Than a Plug Socket
Continuous high-current charging through a domestic socket is not designed for the job. A dedicated, fused circuit with a properly rated charge point is the safe way to charge an EV at home.
Workplace Charging
For businesses, on-site charging supports employees and fleet vehicles, and can be offered to visitors. We install single and multi-point setups sized to your supply and demand.
What a Properly Installed EV Charger Includes
A charge point is only as reliable as the electrical work behind it. We do not simply bolt a unit to the wall; every installation is a proper electrical circuit, sized, protected, and certified to work safely with your home and your vehicle.
Every charger we install is fully tested and certified, with the app connected and smart charging set up so you can schedule, monitor, and make the most of cheaper or solar energy.
Charge Point Unit
A Hypervolt or BG Sync EV charger, selected for reliability, smart features, and app control. We recommend the right unit for your vehicle, budget, and whether you want tethered or untethered charging.
Dedicated Circuit
A correctly sized cable run on its own way in your consumer unit, protected by an RCBO, so the charger draws safely without overloading existing circuits or shared RCDs.
Load Management
Where your supply headroom is limited, a load-balancing charger or dynamic load management keeps charging within your property's capacity rather than requiring a costly supply upgrade.
Smart App & Solar Link
App control lets you schedule charging, track energy use, and where supported, prioritise surplus solar generation so your car charges on clean energy before it is exported.
Your EV Charger Options
From a tethered home charger that is always ready to a multi-point workplace setup, we design the installation around your vehicle, your parking, and how you use energy.
Tethered Home Charger
Homes wanting a cable always to hand
A charger with a built-in cable means no fetching and coiling a lead each time you charge. It is the most convenient everyday setup for a dedicated home parking space.
Untethered Home Charger
Households with more than one EV
A socket-only unit lets you plug in whichever cable your vehicle uses, making it the flexible choice if you have two EVs with different connectors or plan to change cars.
Workplace & Multi-Point
Businesses and commercial premises
Multiple charge points installed and load-managed across a single supply, sized for staff, fleet, or visitor charging, with smart scheduling to keep energy costs predictable.
We find the right solution for your property, not just the quickest fix. Our office team will talk you through the options and arrange a survey before any work begins.
