EV Charger Installation in Norwich & Norfolk

For a standard installation where the charger is located close to your main consumer unit (fuse box), it typically takes between 2 to 4 hours. Our team works efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to your day.

No. Before any installation, our technical team conducts a survey of your home’s main fuse capacity and installation area. Furthermore, the modern smart chargers we install (such as the Zappi) feature intelligent “load balancing.” This means the charger automatically adjusts its power draw if you are running heavy appliances in the house at the same time, completely protecting your main fuse.

To install a standard wall-mounted charger, you must have designated, private off-street parking (like a driveway or an assigned parking bay). If you only have on-street parking, you cannot run standard cables across public pavements due to safety regulations. However, government grant support is available if you install an approved cross-pavement solution, such as a certified charging gully.

Yes, garages are an ideal location for an EV charger. To make it happen, we require one of the following:

• A direct cable run from your main building’s consumer unit to the garage.
• An existing, independent consumer unit inside the garage that we can connect to.

During your free on-site survey, our supervisors will check your current electrical infrastructure and map out the best possible route for the installation.

Absolutely. We specialise in installations for both standard residential homes and rental properties. If you are a tenant, you will just need written permission from your landlord or freeholder before we can begin. If you are a residential landlord, adding an EV charger is a fantastic way to future-proof your property portfolio and attract long-term tenants.

Because every property requires a different cable length, routing, and electrical setup, costs vary. We don’t believe in blind estimates or generic guesswork. We provide a free, no-obligation visual assessment of your property so we can give you an incredibly accurate, transparent quote.

Yes, the government’s OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) grant scheme offers up to £500 per socket off the installation price, but it is strictly ring-fenced for specific groups. You are eligible if you:

• Rent your home (any property type) and have private off-street parking.
• Own and live in a flat with an assigned parking space.
• Are a residential landlord looking to upgrade your rental properties (up to 200 sockets per year).

Yes, significantly cheaper. Public rapid chargers are subject to commercial energy rates and profit margins. Charging at home allows you to take advantage of domestic energy rates. If you switch to an EV-specific off-peak electricity tariff, or link your charger directly to a Solar PV system, you can charge your car for a fraction of the cost of public networks.

• Tethered: The charging cable is permanently attached to the wall unit (like a petrol pump). It’s highly convenient because you just pull up and plug in, but you are locked into that specific cable length and plug type.
• Untethered (Socket-only): The unit has a socket but no attached cable. You plug your own cable into it. It looks neater on the wall and allows you to use different cables, but requires you to take your cable out of the boot every time you charge.

While we work with and install a wide range of manufacturers, we highly recommend Zappi and Rolec for their reliability and performance:

• Zappi is the ultimate choice if you have (or plan to get) solar panels. It can eco-charge your car using 100% green surplus energy generated from your roof.
• Rolec is a highly robust, dependable, and cost-effective option, perfect for standard domestic setups or heavy-duty commercial fleet environments.

Have a specific charger in mind? Let us know! While we highly recommend Zappi and Rolec, we can source and install almost any preferred brand to meet your exact requirements. Just chat with our team first so we can verify compatibility with your property’s electrical setup.

A standard residential smart charger operates at 7kW. Depending on your vehicle’s battery size, this typically adds around 25 to 30 miles of range per hour of charging, making it perfect for a full overnight charge.

Yes. We are fully OZEV and MCS approved, NICEIC certified, and Alcumus Safe Contractor accredited. Every single installation we sign off is completely compliant with the absolute latest electrical regulations, giving you total peace of mind.
