Home EV charger installation in South Croydon
- 01
Choosing where the charger goes
The best spot is on a wall close to where the charging port on your car will be when it's parked. That keeps the cable short and off the ground where people walk. We also think about how easy the cable route back to your fuse box will be.

Charging on an off-peak tariff
Many energy suppliers offer EV tariffs with much cheaper electricity overnight. A smart home charger can be scheduled to charge only in those hours, so the car is ready in the morning for far less than public charging usually costs.

Planning permission and leasehold homes
Most chargers fixed to a house wall don't need planning permission, though listed buildings can be different. If you own a leasehold flat or rent your home, you'll need permission from the freeholder or landlord before any work starts. We can provide details of the proposed work to help.
What to expect from a home EV charger installation
We ask for photos of your consumer unit, meter and parking area, or visit if that's easier. We check the main fuse size, the earthing arrangement and the cable route, then confirm the charger position with you. Your free quote includes everything needed on the day.
Installation usually takes around half a day. We fit the charger and its circuit, test it, connect it to your Wi-Fi and set up the app and charging schedule with you. We notify the network operator and give you the certificate for your records.

Home EV charger installation questions
Can you fit a home EV charger on a terraced house in South Croydon?
Yes, as long as you have off-street parking next to the house, such as a front driveway. Terraced homes can mean a longer cable run from a fuse box at the back, so we'll plan the route carefully and include it in your quote.
Will a home EV charger work if my Wi-Fi doesn't reach the drive?
The charger will still charge, but smart features such as scheduling may not work without a connection. Some chargers can use mobile data instead, and a Wi-Fi extender is often enough. We test the signal at the charger position during the visit.
Can I charge an EV from a normal plug socket at home in Croydon?
You can with the cable supplied with some cars, but it's slow and puts a long, heavy load on a socket that wasn't designed for it. A dedicated home charger is safer and much faster. Occasional use is fine, but it isn't recommended as your everyday option.
Does a home EV charger add to my electricity bill?
Yes, since you're paying for the power that goes into the car, but charging at home on an off-peak EV tariff is usually much cheaper per mile than public rapid chargers. The charger app shows how much energy you've used, so you can keep track of the cost.
