EV charging installed properly, priced honestly.
From a single home chargepoint to multi-bay workplace hubs, Phoenix EV designs and installs charging that's safe, smart and ready for the tariffs of tomorrow, with every install certified, notified and configured before we drive away.
Wake up to a full battery every morning.
Charging at home is cheaper, easier and kinder to your battery than relying on the public network. A 7kW home chargepoint adds roughly 25-30 miles of range per hour, and on an off-peak EV tariff you can fill most cars overnight for under £10.
Our home installation service is genuinely end-to-end. We survey your supply and fuse board (usually from photos, so there's no waiting for a visit), recommend the right unit for your car and parking arrangement, handle the DNO notification your network operator requires, and install with a dedicated circuit, Type A RCD protection and open PEN fault protection to BS 7671 Section 722.
- Remote survey in minutes: send photos of your fuse board, meter and parking spot; we do the rest.
- Tethered or untethered: we'll explain the trade-offs honestly rather than defaulting to what's in the van.
- Solar-aware charging: units like the myenergi Zappi can charge from your panels' surplus alone.
- App set up before we leave: schedules, tariff sync and PIN lock configured with you, not left as homework.
The chargers we fit, and who each suits.
We're not tied to a single manufacturer, so our advice starts with your car, tariff and parking, not a sales target. These are the units we install most, all Wi-Fi connected, OZEV-compliant and smart-charge capable under the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021.
| Charger | Power | Best for | Standout feature | Guide price installed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| myenergi Zappi v2.1 | 7kW / 22kW | Homes with (or planning) solar | Eco mode charges from PV surplus only | from £949 |
| Ohme Home Pro | 7.4kW | Octopus & OVO tariff users | Direct tariff integration for cheapest-slot charging | from £899 |
| Easee One | 7.4kW (22kW ready) | Compact kerb appeal, multi-car households | Load-balances up to 3 units on one circuit | from £925 |
| Hypervolt Home 3 Pro | 7kW | Design-led homes | British-built, customisable LED, voice control | from £949 |
| Tesla Wall Connector | 7.4kW | Tesla households | Seamless Tesla app integration & power sharing | from £975 |
| Andersen A3 | 7.4kW / 22kW | Premium installs | Hidden cable design, bespoke colour finishes | from £1,650 |
Guide prices assume a standard install: up to 10m cable run, surface-mounted, on a supply with adequate capacity. Your fixed quote confirms the exact figure before any work begins, and it doesn't change on the day.
Charging that earns its parking space.
Fleet electrification, staff benefits, customer dwell-time, tenant demand, whatever's driving your project, we design workplace charging around your electrical capacity and your growth plans, not just today's headcount.
That starts with a proper load assessment. Dynamic load management lets a site run far more chargepoints than its raw supply suggests by sharing available capacity intelligently, often avoiding a costly DNO supply upgrade entirely. Where an upgrade genuinely is needed, we manage the DNO application and civils as part of the project.
- Back-office & billing: RFID or app access, per-user billing and reporting for fleets and tenants.
- Dual-socket pedestals: 7kW-22kW units for car parks, with ducting laid for future expansion.
- Workplace Charging Scheme: we're OZEV authorised, so eligible businesses can claim up to £350 per socket (up to 40 sockets).
- Landlord & flat solutions: shared-supply installs for apartment blocks, with automatic billing per resident.
What "installed properly" actually means.
Plenty of chargers are fitted fast and cheap. Fewer are fitted to last. Every Phoenix EV installation includes, as standard:
Dedicated circuit
Your charger gets its own protected circuit from the consumer unit, never spurred off an existing socket circuit, sized for continuous 32A load.
Open PEN protection
Built-in PEN fault detection or a Matt:e device where required, so a lost neutral on the street supply can't make your car live. Non-negotiable on PME supplies.
Surge & RCD protection
Type A RCD or RDC-DD protection per BS 7671 Section 722, plus SPD assessment, because a £40k car deserves better than a £5 breaker.
DNO notification
Every install notified to your Distribution Network Operator, same-day connect-and-notify where load allows, managed applications where it doesn't.
Electrical certification
A full Electrical Installation Certificate with test results, registered through NICEIC, plus the manufacturer warranty activated in your name.
Tidy cable routes
Runs clipped straight, drilled holes sealed, external cable in black conduit or buried duct, the install should look factory-fitted, not bolted on.
Four steps to plugging in.
Photo survey
Send us photos of your fuse board, main fuse, meter and intended charger position. Most surveys are approved same-day with no visit needed.
Fixed quote
An itemised quotation with your recommended unit and one alternative, valid 30 days. Any non-standard groundwork is priced up front, never sprung on the day.
Install day
Typically 3-5 hours. We mount, wire, test and energise, then walk you through the app, schedules and your tariff's cheap window before we leave.
Certified & charging
Digital EIC certificate and DNO notification within 48 hours, warranty registered, and a one-week check-in call to make sure your first charges behaved.
Common questions before you book
You need dedicated off-street parking that your cable can reach without crossing public land, a driveway, carport, garage or allocated space. If you park on-street, cross-pavement charging channels are being approved by more councils; we can advise on your borough's current position and install the home side ready for it.
Tethered units have the cable permanently attached: quicker to plug in daily, but tied to one connector type and a fixed length. Untethered units are neater on the wall, work with any cable length and suit households that might change cars. Most single-EV households choose tethered for convenience; we'll talk it through at survey rather than assume.
Sometimes. A 7kW charger draws a continuous 32A, so we check your main fuse rating and existing demand at survey. Many homes are fine as-is; others need a load-curtailment device (a CT clamp that briefly pauses charging when the house is busy), and a minority need a consumer unit upgrade or a main fuse uprating via your DNO. Whatever applies, it's identified and priced before you commit.
The homeowner grant has ended for houses, but the EV Chargepoint Grant still supports flat owners and renters, and landlords can claim towards chargers and infrastructure across their properties. Businesses can use the Workplace Charging Scheme for up to £350 per socket across up to 40 sockets. As OZEV-authorised installers we process eligible claims for you as part of the job.
Yes, this is one of our favourite installs. A solar-aware charger like the Zappi monitors what your panels are exporting and diverts that surplus into your car, so on a sunny day you're driving on free electricity. If you're considering both, talk to us about doing them together: one scaffold, one certification pack, one integrated system.
A standard home install takes 3-5 hours on site. From accepted quote, we typically install within 5-10 working days, sooner if you're flexible on dates. Commercial projects run to an agreed programme, with out-of-hours installation available where daytime disruption is a problem.
