Home EV chargers: your car charges while you get on with your life.
Home EV charger installation by Carbon Saving Group, with smart scheduling and, where your system supports it, charging from your own solar.
Why charge at home?
A home charger turns charging from something you plan around into something that just happens.
01
Plug in at home
No queuing, and no planning your day around public chargers.
02
Start the day ready
Come home, plug in, and set off the next morning with the charge you need.
03
Built for everyday charging
A dedicated charger is designed for routine charging and is faster than a standard domestic socket.
04
Cheaper off-peak charging
Schedule charging for cheaper overnight electricity, on a suitable tariff.
05
Smart control
Schedule and monitor charging from an app, where your charger supports it.
06
Professionally installed
A dedicated charging point, installed and tested properly rather than improvised.
Smarter charging, lower-cost electricity.
A compatible smart charger can wait for cheaper overnight electricity. You plug in when you get home, and it does the rest.
01Evening
Arrive home
The day’s driving has taken some charge out of the battery.
02Evening
Plug in
Connect the cable. Your charger already knows when you want it to charge.
03Overnight
Charge overnight
On a suitable time-of-use tariff, charging can run when electricity is cheaper.
04Morning
Wake up ready
Your car is charged for the day, with no trip to a public charger.
If you have solar
Got solar panels? Your charger may be able to use them.
With a compatible charger and system, you may be able to charge from surplus solar generation instead of exporting it. Solar isn’t required, and not every installation can do this.
Rates, charging times and solar charging depend on your tariff, vehicle, charger and system. Savings aren’t guaranteed.
Choosing the right charger.
We recommend a charger to suit your property, your vehicle and how your household drives and charges.
Tethered
Cable attached
The cable lives on the charger. Plug in and go, with nothing to carry or store.
Untethered
Bring your own cable
A socket on the charger that you plug a separate cable into. Often a tidier look on the wall.
Smart scheduling and app control
Choose when and for how long your car charges, including at off-peak times. Smart chargers need an internet connection.
Solar-compatible charging
Where your charger and system support it, surplus solar generation can be used to charge your car.
Is my home suitable?
Many homes can take a home charger. Before we quote, we assess the practical things.
Where you park
Whether you have suitable off-street parking and where the charger can be positioned.
Charger location and cable route
Where the charger will sit and how the cable runs from your supply.
Your electrical supply and consumer unit
Whether they can support a charger safely.
Earthing and electrical safety
The safety requirements your installation has to meet.
How your household charges
Your vehicle, how far you drive and when you’re home.
Solar, if you have it
Whether your charger can work with your panels.
If anything needs upgrading, we’ll explain it before you decide.

Common questions
It depends on your vehicle, the charger and your home’s electrical supply, so we can’t give one figure. A dedicated home charger is designed for routine charging and is faster than a standard 3-pin socket, and we’ll explain what to expect for your car.
Yes, if you’re on a suitable time-of-use tariff and your charger supports scheduling. A smart charger lets you choose when and for how long your car charges, including at off-peak times. Rates and times vary by supplier.
Some chargers can use surplus solar generation, depending on the charger and how your system is set up. Not every installation can do this, and solar isn’t needed to have a home charger.
A tethered charger has a cable attached, so there’s nothing to carry. An untethered charger has a socket and you use a separate cable, which often looks tidier on the wall. We’ll recommend what suits you.
Chargers can be fitted outdoors or in a garage, depending on the model and the location. We’ll recommend a suitable position when we assess your property.
Not always. We check your electrical supply, consumer unit and earthing as part of the assessment, and if anything needs upgrading we’ll explain it before you decide.
It depends on the charger, the cable route and any electrical work your home needs. We assess your setup first and then give you a quotation.
Smart chargers need an internet connection for features like app scheduling. Some time-of-use tariffs also require a smart meter, so check the terms with your supplier.
