Home EV charger installation in Talke
- 01
Tethered or untethered
A tethered charger has its own cable fixed to it, so you just unhook it and plug in. An untethered charger has a socket and uses the cable from your car, which looks tidier on the wall. Both charge at the same speed, so it comes down to how you prefer to use it.

Where the charger should go
The best spot is close to where the charging port on your car ends up when you park, usually on the house wall, a garage or a post by the drive. We also think about the cable route back to the consumer unit, and how to keep the charging cable off the pavement.

Charging on a cheaper tariff
Most home chargers can be scheduled through an app, and many work with energy tariffs that offer cheaper electricity overnight. A typical 7kW home charger can fill most car batteries overnight, so the car is ready in the morning without a trip to a public charger.
What to expect from a home EV charger installation
We visit to look at your fuse board, electricity meter and parking space. We check the main fuse size and the earthing, recommend a charger and send you a free quote. If your supply needs the network operator's approval first, we arrange it.
On installation day, the power is off for a short time while we connect the new circuit. We mount the charger, test the circuit and its protection, and start a charge if your car is home. Finally, we help you set up the app and notify the network operator.

Home EV charger installation questions
Can I have a home EV charger with street parking in Talke?
Usually not, because the cable would have to cross the pavement, which is a trip hazard and generally not allowed. Home chargers need off-street parking, such as a driveway or garage. If you are unsure whether your parking space is suitable, ask us and we will check it for you.
Will a home EV charger overload my house supply near Kidsgrove?
Not if it is fitted properly. We check your main fuse during the survey. Many chargers can also reduce their charging rate when the rest of the house is using a lot of power, using a sensor on the supply cable, so the main fuse is never overloaded.
What earthing does a home EV charger need?
Many homes have an earthing arrangement that needs extra protection for outdoor charging. Most modern chargers include built-in protection for this, and where they do not, an earth rod is fitted next to the charger. We check your earthing at the survey and include whatever is needed.
Can a home EV charger be moved if I move house near Audley?
Yes, the charger itself can be taken down and refitted at your new home. The new address will need its own circuit, survey and network notification, just like a new installation. The old circuit is left safe, or the next owner can have a charger fitted to it.
