Home EV chargers — installed properly, by electricians.
Home EV charger installs across Scotland. Zappi, Ohme, Wallbox, Hypervolt and Andersen — solar-aware smart charging from a team that actually understands the rest of your energy system.
- Grant-eligible installs — we can advise on the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant and Home Energy Scotland loan.
- Solar-aware smart charging (Zappi, Ohme): charge from your panels first, the grid second.
- Tethered or untethered, 7kW or 22kW (3-phase), in white, black or stainless.
- Earthing rod, RCD-protected and certified — not a quick-and-dirty install.
Why clients choose us for this
Zappi if you have solar. Ohme if you want the cheapest hardware and tariff integration. Wallbox or Andersen for design-led homes. We recommend based on your setup — not what's on offer this month.
Modes like Zappi's Eco+ charge your EV from surplus solar only — turning excess generation into miles instead of cheap export. With our integration we make sure it actually works as advertised.
Load assessment, dedicated 32A circuit, earth-rod where needed, RCD type-A or type-B as per regs. We notify Building Standards and your DNO as required — included in the quote.
Cable runs planned around your house — not the easiest path. We use external-grade conduit and SWA where appropriate, not stapled twin-and-earth across your render.
Got two EVs or three-phase incoming supply? We design load-balanced installs that protect your main fuse — no nuisance trips when the EV and oven run together.
Octopus Intelligent, Cosy, Go and EDF GoElectric — we explain which works best with your charger and help you switch. Often saves £400–800/yr on its own.
How it works
Send a couple of photos of your meter, consumer unit and proposed charger location — fixed quote within 24 hours.
Free home survey for complex installs (long runs, 3-phase, solar integration).
Most installs are 3–4 hours. We commission the app, walk you through smart modes and notify Building Standards.
3-year workmanship warranty, 3-year hardware warranty (most brands), and we're a phone call away if the app misbehaves.
Talk to a specialist
A real engineer — not a call-centre — will scope your project and come back with an indicative system size, cost range and payback within one working day.
Send a couple of photos and we'll come back with a fixed price within 24 hours.
Frequently asked
Which charger should I buy?+
Zappi for solar homes (best solar integration). Ohme if your priority is the cheapest install + best tariff integration. Wallbox / Hypervolt / Andersen for design-led installs. We'll recommend a specific model on your quote.
Do I qualify for the EV Charge Grant?+
Flat owners and renters with off-street parking can claim £350 via the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant. Most homeowners aren't eligible since 2022 — but Home Energy Scotland loans cover the install interest-free.
How long does it take?+
Typical install is 3–4 hours for a straightforward consumer-unit-to-driveway run. Complex installs (long runs, sub-mains, 3-phase) are a half- to full-day job.
Can I charge two EVs?+
Yes — we install load-balanced dual-charger setups that share your supply intelligently, so you don't need to upgrade your main fuse.
What if I already have solar?+
Get a Zappi or Myenergi Eddi setup. We'll integrate it with your existing inverter so it diverts surplus solar into your EV automatically — typically adds 1,500–2,500 free miles/yr.
