Can I run the charger off an existing circuit?

No. It needs its own circuit back to the board with its own protection. Sharing a circuit with anything else is neither safe nor allowed, and it would make the charging slower anyway.

Should I run cable for a second charger now?

If you think a second car is coming, yes. The cable is the expensive part and doing it once while the wall is open costs far less than doing the whole run again in two years.

Can I just plug my car into a normal powerpoint?

You can, with the portable charger most cars come with, but it is slow and it was never meant to be the everyday solution. A wall charger on its own circuit charges far faster and does not tie up a general power circuit for twelve hours at a time.

What is the difference between 7kW and 22kW charging?

A 7kW charger runs on single phase, which is what most homes have. 22kW needs a three phase supply. Three phase is worth asking about if you have it, but for overnight charging at home a 7kW unit covers most driving comfortably.

Do you install chargers for businesses?

Yes. Workplace charging starts with what supply the site actually has spare, because multiple chargers can add up quickly. We look at that before recommending anything.

Room for the Second Car

Most households that go electric once go electric twice. Planning the first install with that in mind costs very little and saves running the whole cable again in a couple of years, which is the expensive part.

EV Charger Installation in Doncaster

Starting at the Switchboard

A larger home already carries a lot of circuits, often including several air conditioning units. Checking what the board has left is the first step rather than an afterthought.

Switchboard Upgrades →

The Cable Run

The board is not always near the garage in a bigger house, and that distance is usually what separates a cheap install from an expensive one. We measure it rather than estimate.
