EV charger installation in Talke
- 01
Why use a wall charger
Charging from a household socket with a portable lead is slow and puts a heavy load on a socket for hours at a time. A wall charger is built for the job, charges several times faster and has the safety features needed for long charging sessions.

Smart charging is now standard
Since 2022, new home and workplace chargers sold in Great Britain must be smart. They can be scheduled through an app, so you can charge when electricity is cheaper, and they are set up to avoid adding to demand at the busiest times of day.

What the survey looks at
Before we quote, we check your main fuse, the earthing arrangement, the consumer unit and the cable route to where the car parks. Some sites need the network operator's approval before the charger is fitted, and the survey tells us if yours is one of them.
What to expect from an EV charger installation
We start with a survey at your home or business to look at your fuse board, meter and parking space. From that, we recommend a charger, plan the cable route and give you a free quote. If the network operator needs to approve the connection first, we apply for you.
On the day, we fit the charger, run the cable back to the consumer unit and add a dedicated circuit with the right protection. We then test the circuit, start a charge with your car if it is there, set up the app with you and notify the network operator.

EV charger installation questions
How long does EV charger installation take in Talke?
Most home installations in Talke take half a day to a day. The time depends mainly on the distance from the consumer unit to the charger and how the cable needs to run. If the consumer unit needs upgrading first, we tell you at the survey and plan the extra time in.
Do I need permission to install an EV charger near Kidsgrove?
Most driveway chargers are permitted development, so planning permission is not needed, though listed buildings and some flats are different. The network operator must be told about every charger, and some need approval before fitting. We handle the network operator side for you.
What affects the cost of an EV charger installation?
The charger you choose, the length of the cable run, whether the cable goes through walls or underground and the condition of your consumer unit all affect the price. We survey first and give you a free quote covering the charger, the circuit and the notification.
Can I use a three-pin plug to charge at home in Stoke-on-Trent?
You can, using the lead that came with the car, but it is slow and best kept for occasional use. Sockets and plugs are not designed for many hours at high current every night. A dedicated wall charger is faster, safer and lets you use smart charging.
