Electric Vehicle Charger Installations

We install, maintain and relocate EV chargers for homes and businesses across the North West. As a NAPIT-registered installer and Octopus Energy Trusted Partner, we assess the supply, consumer unit, earthing, protection, cable route and charger position before carrying out the installation, testing and certification. Whether you want a standalone charger or you'd like it integrated with your solar panels and home battery, the electrical work and energy setup are considered together.

What customers say

Customers tend to mention the clear advice, the fair prices and the tidy workmanship. Here's a few recent ones:

"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."

That is a verified Checkatrade review from an M24 customer, dated 14 May 2024.

"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."

That review was left on Checkatrade by an OL13 customer on 17 May 2024. Checking the existing earthing is part of the installation because an EV charger cannot simply be mounted on the wall and assumed safe.

"Ashley was amazing! He removed my EV charger from my old house and came back and reinstalled at my new house... would highly recommend and wouldn't use anybody else now for any electrical work."

That verified Checkatrade review came from an OL8 customer on 9 March 2025.

If you're moving house, we offer a dedicated EV charger relocation service - taking the charger off the old property and reinstalling at the new one.

Home EV charger not working?

For EV charger repair in Manchester, the first job is working out whether the fault is in the charger, its supply, protection, earthing, communications or software. Ashley can check the electrical installation, identify where the problem sits and deal with the manufacturer where the unit itself needs technical support or replacement.

On Hale Road, a customer's Hypervolt charger had stopped working. Ashley diagnosed the fault, liaised directly with Hypervolt and got the customer charging again. On another job, a defunct charger was removed and replaced with a GivEnergy unit that worked with the property's existing solar and battery system. The electrical checks also found an earthing fault left by previous work, which was corrected during the installation.

Not every failed charger is worth repairing. If the unit is obsolete, damaged or no longer supported, Ashley can explain the fault and quote for an EV charger replacement instead. If the problem belongs with the manufacturer, he can provide the electrical findings and remain involved while the supplier resolves the box itself. One customer review specifically mentions Ashley continuing to check in while their charger supplier arranged a replacement unit.

EV charger repair availability depends on the brand, parts and manufacturer support. Contact Ashley with the charger make, model, symptoms and any error message, and include a photograph of the unit and consumer unit if possible.

Solar + EV integration

If you've already got solar panels, or you're thinking about getting them, we can set the EV charger up to work with the system. That means you can charge the car from excess solar energy, which can cover a good share of your charging during the sunnier months. We've experience with GivEnergy systems and can configure smart charging to match solar generation and time-of-use tariffs like Octopus Intelligent Go. Getting the EV charger integrated with the rest of your home energy setup means you get more out of both, and less of your driving comes off the grid.

Installation process

A qualified electrician will come out, look at your property's electrical setup, talk through what you want and recommend suitable options - you won't get a salesperson. That means the advice is honest and technically informed by someone who actually understands the work. We'll give you a quote with no hidden costs. The install itself is typically a day's work with minimal disruption, and afterwards you'll get all the certification and a walkthrough of how to use the new charger. Our NAPIT registration means you'll get the proper electrical certification that may be needed by your insurance or when selling the property. Same approach as we apply with our electrical testing work.

Charger options

We supply and install a range of EV chargers depending on your needs. Standard 7kW units will fully charge most electric cars overnight; if you've got three-phase power, we can install faster 22kW chargers. Both tethered (with attached cable) and untethered options are available. All our chargers are OZEV grant-approved and include smart features for app control and energy monitoring. We're not tied to any single manufacturer, so we can recommend the best option for your specific vehicle and circumstances rather than whatever we happen to stock.

Financial benefits

Installing an EV charger at home is more convenient than relying on public chargers, and it's significantly cheaper too. Home charging is typically 50-90% cheaper than using public charging points (rac.co.uk). On a smart tariff like Octopus Go you can charge overnight at rates well below standard electricity prices, and if you've got solar, you can cut summer charging costs further still. EV-ready homes are also becoming more sought-after as more drivers switch to electric. As with our battery installations, time-of-use tariffs can knock a fair bit off your energy costs.
