EV
Can I install an EV charger at home?
What you need, what it costs, and what to check before ordering an EV charger.
In most UK homes, yes — but a few things matter. You need off-street parking, a suitable supply (single-phase 100A is usually fine for a 7kW charger), and the DNO must be notified after installation.
Which charger?
For most drivers a 7kW smart charger is the right choice. If you have solar, look at solar-diverting units like the Zappi or Ohme ePod. If your house has an electric shower, oven and heat pump, look for a load-managed unit.
What a proper install includes
A survey, DNO notification, an earth-type check (TN-C-S PME properties need specific protection), correctly rated cabling, and full certification.
