EV Charger Installations in Prestwich

Based right here in Prestwich, Renegade Solar provides expert EV charger installations throughout the local area. As your local NAPIT-registered installer and Octopus Energy Trusted Partner, we understand exactly what Prestwich residents need for home EV charging.

Why Prestwich Residents Need Home EV Charging

Public charging is dear and a right faff - While there are chargers dotted around at local supermarkets and the big Tesco, they're all pricey for daily use and often occupied when you need them most. Bury Council's got plans for public charging points in Prestwich town centre, but these will inevitably cost more than home charging and they're designed for the odd top-up, not your daily commute.

Perfect for Manchester commuting - Whether you're nipping into town via Bury New Road or taking the M60 to Trafford Park, having a fully charged car every morning means you'll never have to bother with expensive public charging for your daily runs. Compare home charging on Octopus Go at just 7.5p overnight versus 30-60p+ at public chargers, and you'll save a few tenners every time you charge.

Slow charging works a treat - Your home charger won't be a supercharger like you'll find at some public spots, but that's absolutely fine because you can charge slowly overnight when the leccy is dead cheap. Who needs rapid charging when you're tucked up in bed anyway?

Prestwich Property Types and EV Solutions

Victorian terraces dominate central Prestwich, particularly around Bury New Road. These traditional houses often have rear access and yards, making them perfect for installing chargers in back gardens with cable runs to front street parking. We've completed dozens of these installations where residents park on Bury New Road or side streets. Many Victorian terraces have been modernised with adequate electrical capacity for 7kW charging, though we assess each property individually. For terraces without dedicated parking, we work creatively with residents to install chargers accessible from regular street parking spots.

1930s semi-detached homes are common around Prestwich Village and Sedgley Park. These properties typically have driveways perfect for wall-mounted chargers, and their electrical systems usually handle modern EV charging loads easily. These family homes often benefit from multiple charging points or future-proofing for second EVs as household needs grow.

Modern developments around Prestwich Hills and newer builds often come EV-ready with adequate electrical supplies and dedicated parking, making installations straightforward. Some developments even benefit from shared charging facilities that we can design and install for multiple residents.

Local Infrastructure and Installation

The cracking grid infrastructure in Prestwich means our installations rarely need supply upgrades, keeping costs down and getting your charger installed quickly. Most Prestwich properties have the electrical capacity needed, making the whole process dead straightforward.

Smart Integration for Prestwich Homes

Many Prestwich homes already have solar panels, and we configure chargers to prioritise free solar energy during the day - perfect for retirees or home workers who can charge while panels are generating. Time-of-use tariffs like Octopus Go offer 7.5p per kWh from 12:30-4:30am, meaning a typical Manchester commute costs under £2 for a full charge versus £15+ at public rapids. Battery storage systems, increasingly popular with forward-thinking Prestwich residents, can store cheap overnight electricity to charge cars during expensive peak periods.

Real Savings for Prestwich Families

A daily Manchester commute (15-mile round trip) costs £1.50 with home charging versus £8-10 at public chargers. Trafford Centre shopping trips (20-mile round trip) cost £2 at home versus £12+ at public rapids. Family days at Blackpool (120-mile round trip) cost £9 at home versus £45+ with public charging. Airport runs to Manchester (40-mile round trip) cost £4 at home versus £20+ at public chargers. Annual savings for typical Prestwich families reach £1,200-2,000 compared to relying on public charging.

Most Prestwich installations complete within a day, often just a few hours for straightforward properties.

What Our Customers Say

"Ashley fitted an EV charger for me and provided lots of brilliant advice prior to doing so, as I was clueless on the whole thing. His advice even allowed me to keep costs down and his prices were the best quotes I had, with nothing reduced on the quality of his work."

"Ashley was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job. He ensured that our new GivEnergy charger was properly integrated with the solar and battery system. During the job he found an earthing fault from previous work - and fixed this small job at no extra cost."
