Home EV charger installation in Cambridge
Your own fuel station on the doorstep: a smart 7 kW charger, surveyed in person, fitted by our own electricians and set up with you before we leave.
What a home charger gives you
Most of the charging you do will be at home, overnight, on a tariff that’s a fraction of public charging. A dedicated charger fills a typical car several times faster than the three-pin “granny” cable that comes with it, which isn’t meant for long-term use.
- A 7 kW charger adds roughly 25 to 30 miles of range an hour
- Every charger we fit is a smart charger, so it can follow a cheap overnight tariff on its own
- Tethered (cable attached) or socketed (use your own cable), your choice
- Solar-aware models can charge from your panels instead of the grid
The practical bits we check
- Where the car parks and how far that is from your fuse board
- Whether your supply has the capacity, or needs load management
- Earthing: most modern chargers have built-in PEN fault protection, so no earth rod
- Whether you have, or plan, solar panels or a battery
- Your energy tariff, so we suggest a charger it works with

Fast efficient service. Great attention to detail. Recommended.
Quick efficient friendly installation.
Very helpful advice given about a subject entirely new to us, both during installation and afterwards on useage.
Highly recommend this company and about to do so to two of our neighbors contemplating EVs.
1st class experience from beginning to end. From Duncan's visit to price the job to the engineers clean and tidy installation everything was great. Would strongly recommend this company, thanks guys!
