Home EV charger installation in Riddlesdown homes
- 01
Two electric cars in one household
With two EVs, you can fit two chargers, a twin charger or one charger shared between cars on different nights. Two chargers on one supply usually need load management so they share power without overloading your main fuse. We'll suggest what suits your parking and routine.

Homes with other big electrical loads
Heat pumps, electric showers, hot tubs and electric ovens all draw a lot of power. Add an EV charger and the total can approach your main fuse rating. A charger with load management measures your use and slows charging when needed, so the fuse is protected.

If you change your car later
Almost all new electric and plug-in hybrid cars sold in the UK use the Type 2 connector for home charging, so a charger fitted now should suit your next car too. An untethered charger gives extra flexibility if a future car needs a different cable.

Home EV charger installation in Riddlesdown: common questions
Can I charge two electric cars at home in Riddlesdown?
Yes. You can fit two chargers, a dual charger or share one charger between cars. With two chargers on one supply, load management is usually needed to stay within your main fuse limit. We check your supply and recommend the best setup for your household.
Can I have an EV charger and a heat pump in Riddlesdown?
Yes, in most homes. Both draw a lot of power, so we check your main fuse and the total load. A charger with load management will slow charging if the heat pump and other appliances are running hard, so your supply isn't overloaded.
Will my Riddlesdown home charger work with my next car?
Almost certainly. Nearly all new electric and plug-in hybrid cars in the UK use the Type 2 connector for home charging. If you'd like extra flexibility, an untethered charger lets you use whichever cable suits the car you drive, now or in the future.
Do I need a bigger main fuse for an EV charger in Riddlesdown?
Not always. Many homes manage fine with load management, which keeps the total demand within the existing fuse. If your demand is very high, the network operator may need to upgrade your supply, and we'll explain what's involved before going ahead.
