EV Charging Unit Installation. Future-Proof Your Drive
Electric vehicles are quickly becoming the new normal and with good reason. They’re cheaper to run, cleaner to drive and perfect for the school run, the daily commute or your weekend escape. But to truly enjoy the benefits, you need a smart charging solution at home or work.
We help UK homeowners and businesses install EV charging units that are safe, fast and future – ready, whether you’ve already made the switch or you’re planning ahead.
Why Install an EV Charger at Home?
While you can top up at public chargers, having your own unit at home is the most convenient, cost – effective option:
– Charge overnight when rates are lowest
– No queues, no detours, no hassle
– Wake up to a fully charged car every morning
It’s not just about ease, it’s about long – term savings and control.
How Fast Will It Charge?
It depends on your charger and your vehicle:
– Standard 3-pin plug: 2.3kW is very slow (10–30 hours)
– Home wallbox (7kW): 6–10 x faster (4–8 hours)
– Commercial/three-phase units: 22kW or higher is great for workplaces or fleets
We’ll recommend the right size based on your car and usage.
Do I Need to Upgrade My Electrical Supply?
Not necessarily. Most homes can support a 7kW charger without upgrades, but we always run a full load assessment to be sure.
In some cases, you may need:
– A DNO notification (we handle it for you)
– Load balancing or smart charging if you have solar/battery
– CT clamps to regulate current during peak usage.
Our team takes care of all this, you don’t have to chase paperwork or juggle contractors.

Yes. Smart charging can use surplus solar, coordinate with your battery and shift charging to off-peak rates.

Most UK homes use a 7 kW charger, which adds roughly 25 to 30 miles of range per hour, depending on the vehicle.
Will an EV charger overload my supply?
We use load management to keep charging within safe limits. If an upgrade is needed, we will advise and handle it.
Do I need to tell the DNO?
Yes, installers must notify the Distribution Network Operator. We handle the notification process for you.

What are the benefits of installing EV charging points in the UK?
Cost Savings
Installing a home EV charger can be cheaper than using public EV charging stations. Home charging allows EV owners to take advantage of lower electricity rates, especially during off-peak hours, leading to significant cost savings over time.
Energy Independence
A shift towards electric transportation can reduce a country's dependence on foreign oil, contributing to national energy security and economic stability. EV owners reduce their dependence on imported oil and gas, enhancing energy security.
Technology and Innovation
The push for EV infrastructure drives innovation in renewable energy, battery technology, and smart grids, fostering advancements that benefit various sectors and promote sustainable development.
Convenience
Home EV charging stations offer the convenience of charging your car overnight or whenever it's parked, eliminating the need to visit charging stations frequently.
A lot less pollution
Driving an EV produces zero tailpipe emissions, which significantly reduces the amount of pollutants released into the air, contributing to better air quality and health.

Quick, helpful and accurate response
“I was moving to Octopus Intelligent Go and had to link my Zappi charger with the system. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my password for myenergi and was getting into a right muddle, (I’m not very tech savvy). I contacted myenergi and within an hour from first sending the email I’d had a reply, sorted the problem and was successfully connected to the Octopus Intelligent Go tariff which meant that last night I was able to charge my EV and home storage batteries at 7.5p/kW hour. Thank you Mike and your team.”
Quick, helpful responses
“Have a new EV charger and when the app stopped working I was at a loss as to what to do. I contacted myenergi GB by email and received a very prompt, helpful response. The instructions were simple to follow. I sent a follow up email to ask for more help understanding how the EV app works generally. Again, a very quick, helpful response.”
Great product, great UI, great support, great company!
“We love the Zappi product by myenergi. The user interface is superb as is their customer service. Akrum responded to my query promptly and didn’t close the case until he was sure I was happy (unlike many other organisations!).
They do what they say she follow up accordingly. What else can one ask for?
Very happy!”
Not only did Steve stay on the phone…
“Not only did Steve stay on the phone and talk me through how to reset the Zappi as I was doing it, he backed up the problem solving measures with actions written down in emails. So I had my hand held all the way through the process. The problem was integration between my Zappi and Octopus to allow my EV to charge at the cheapest night rate via Octopus Intelligent Go tariff. Best help offered. Thanks Steve.”
