From photos to charging

How an installation works

Four photos, a fixed price, half a day's work and the paperwork done. Here's every step, and what we need from you.

How it works

From your photos to your first charge, usually inside two weeks.

  1. Chloe measuring along the side of a stone house with a laser measure while the homeowner points to where she would like the charger.

    Send four photos

    Your fuse board, your meter, where the car parks and the route between. We fix the price in writing, usually the same day.

  2. A grey cable clipped straight along a red-brick wall and round the corner to a charger beside a drive.

    Or a free survey

    For a long route, a shared car park or a supply we can't judge from photos: thirty minutes, at a time you choose.

  3. Imran kneeling on a dust sheet fitting a charger to a brick wall, the isolator beside it locked off with a red padlock.

    Half a day's work

    We agree the route with you before we drill. The power is off for under an hour.

  4. An electrician in a green Wharfe EV fleece writes on a clipboard, a tester in his other hand, beside a newly fitted charger plugged into a grey car on a wet drive.

    Tested

    Every installation is tested before we hand it over, and the readings go on your certificate.

  5. Hannah showing a homeowner the charging app on his phone beside the charger on a red-brick new-build, the car plugged in behind.

    Set up with you

    We set up the app on your phone, choose your cheapest hours and check the car charges before we go.

The paperwork, done for you

Four pieces of paper follow every installation. We do all of them, and they're kept in your portal.

  1. Your network operator

    We tell the company that runs the local network about your charger, as the law requires. If they want a bigger main fuse, they fit it, normally free.

  2. Building control

    A charger needs a new circuit, which is notifiable. We register it through our scheme, and your certificate follows by post.

  3. Your certificate

    The Electrical Installation Certificate with every test result, emailed within five working days.

  4. The grant, if there is one

    Once your grant is approved, we make the installer's claim and it comes off your invoice.

Questions

Installation

How long does it take?

Half a day for most homes. A trench, a long route or a new board can make it a full day. The power is off for under an hour.

Do I need to be in?

For the start, so we can agree the route, and at the end, so we can set up the app with you and check your car charges. In between, no.

Do I need an earth rod?

Rarely. Every charger we fit has built-in open-PEN protection, so a separate earth electrode is normally unnecessary on a suitable supply, subject to survey. Some farm and rural supplies still need one, and your photo of the meter tells us.

Do I need planning permission?

Not for most homes. A listed building, or one in some conservation areas, may need it. We check before we fit.

What if my main fuse is only 60 amps?

The charger shares the supply with your house and turns itself down when the house is busy. If your network operator wants a bigger fuse, they normally fit it free.
