What's involved

Check the board, run the cable, switch it on.

Before any cable goes in, Sam checks how much spare capacity your switchboard has and what your supply can handle. On a single-phase supply with a full board, you may be limited to a 7kW charger. With three-phase, you can usually go to 11kW or more.

The install is often about half a day. Sam runs a new circuit from the board to where you park, mounts and connects the charger, sets up the app if it's a smart unit, and tests it before he leaves.

Sam can install most major charger brands, including the Tesla Wall Connector.

When to call Sam

EV ordered? Holiday house going electric?

You've ordered an EV and the dealer mentioned you'll need a wall charger. It's worth sorting this out before the car turns up.

You've already bought a charger and need someone to install it.

You rent your place out to holidaymakers and more of them are arriving in EVs.

You want a charger for customers or staff at your business. Sam does small commercial EV jobs too.

Common questions

EV chargers FAQ.

How long does an EV charger install take?

+
Half a day on average if the switchboard has capacity and the run from board to parking is reasonable. Longer if cable trenching is required or the board needs upgrading first.

Do I need three-phase for an EV charger?

+
Not always. Single-phase supports up to about 7kW which fully charges most EVs overnight. Three-phase supports 11kW and higher, which is useful if you have a larger battery or want faster charging. Sam will check your existing supply before quoting.

Sam came out on a Saturday morning when our switchboard tripped and wouldn't reset. Diagnosed a failing safety switch, replaced it on the spot, and ran a full RCD test on the whole house. Booked him back for a proper switchboard upgrade two weeks later. Tidy work, fair price.

Got a Tesla Wall Connector installed before our new car arrived. Sam quoted on the phone, came out two days later, charger up and running in a few hours. Showed us how the app works. Pricing was straightforward.
