06

Full OZEV & DNO Paperwork

We complete the OZEV grant application, submit DNO notification (required for all installations above 3.68kW per BS 7671), and provide all compliance documentation including photographs and installation records.

Up to £350 Off Domestic — Up to £14,000 for Workplace

EV Chargepoint Grant (Domestic): Up to £350 towards the cost of installing a home charger. Available to homeowners, tenants, and landlords with eligible off-street parking. The property must not have previously received a grant under the EVHS or OZEV scheme.

Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS): Businesses, charities, and public sector organisations can claim up to £350 per socket, for up to 40 sockets per applicant — that is up to £14,000 towards your workplace charging infrastructure. Eligible for any business with dedicated off-street parking.

We handle the full application process for both schemes. For domestic, you need:

  • Proof of EV ownership or order confirmation (plug-in hybrid or fully electric)
  • Off-street parking (driveway, garage, or dedicated space)
  • Property ownership or landlord/management company consent

For the Workplace Charging Scheme, we handle all paperwork including the OZEV online portal application, installer declaration, and post-installation evidence pack with photographs and certification.

Understanding Charging Speeds

Single-phase (230V, most UK homes): Maximum 7.4kW charging speed. Adds approximately 25-30 miles of range per hour. A typical EV (60kWh battery) charges from 20% to 80% in around 5 hours. More than sufficient for overnight home charging.

Three-phase (400V, commercial & some larger homes): Up to 22kW charging speed. Adds approximately 75-90 miles of range per hour. Ideal for workplaces, fleet depots, hotels, and destinations where faster turnaround is needed. Requires a three-phase supply — we can arrange upgrades through your DNO if required.

Key consideration: Your charging speed is limited by either the charger output OR the vehicle's onboard charger — whichever is lower. Most EVs accept 7kW AC; some (like Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4) accept 11kW; fewer accept the full 22kW. We advise on the right charger for your specific vehicle.

Both domestic and commercial installations require a site survey to confirm cable routes, supply capacity, main fuse rating, and earthing arrangements. We provide free no-obligation surveys across our coverage area.

Technical Requirements

Installation
Engineering

EV chargers draw sustained high current — typically 32A continuous for hours. A properly designed dedicated circuit is non-negotiable for safety, performance, and compliance with BS 7671:2018+A2 Section 722.

01

32A Radial Circuit

6mm² twin-and-earth for internal runs up to 22m, or 10mm² SWA cable for longer external runs and underground routes. Cable sizing calculated per BS 7671 Appendix 4, accounting for volt drop (max 5%), grouping factors, thermal insulation, and ambient temperature. We never undersize cables.

02

RCD Protection & DC Fault Detection

BS 7671 Regulation 722.531.2 requires Type A RCD protection with additional 6mA DC residual current detection for EV charging circuits. Many modern chargers (Zappi, Andersen) have this built in. Where the charger lacks integral DC protection, we install a Type B RCD or Type A + DC module at the consumer unit.

03

DNO Notification

All EV charger installations above 3.68kW require notification to your Distribution Network Operator per the Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations 2002. Installations above 7kW (or multiple chargers) may require a supply capacity assessment, and in some cases a main fuse upgrade from 60A to 100A. We handle all DNO correspondence and applications.

04

Supply Capacity Assessment

We measure your existing demand and verify your main fuse rating (typically 60A, 80A, or 100A). A 7kW charger draws 32A — if your existing peak demand is 40A on a 60A supply, there is a problem. We model your load profile and recommend solutions: supply upgrade, smart load management via CT clamp, or scheduled off-peak charging to stay within your capacity.

05

PME Earthing Considerations

Most UK homes have PME (TN-C-S) earthing. BS 7671 Regulation 722.411.4.1 requires additional protective measures for EV charging on PME supplies due to the risk of a PEN conductor fault. Options include: chargers with integral PEN fault detection (Andersen, some Easee units), installation of an earth rod to create a TT arrangement at the charger, or a separate TT earth electrode. We assess your earthing and implement the correct solution.

06

Load Management

For properties with multiple chargers (or limited supply capacity), we install CT clamp-based dynamic load management. This monitors real-time household demand and throttles the charger output to prevent main fuse overload. Easee supports load balancing across up to 3 chargers natively. For larger installations, we configure OCPP-based load management systems.

Commercial Solutions

Workplace & Fleet
Charging

From a single staff charger to a 40-bay car park, we design and install commercial EV charging infrastructure that scales with your business.

Workplace Charging

The shift to electric vehicles is accelerating. Employees expect workplace charging as standard. Offering it makes your business more attractive to talent and demonstrates genuine commitment to sustainability.

We design workplace charging systems that work commercially:

  • Load-managed multi-charger arrays — share available capacity across all bays without expensive supply upgrades
  • Back-office billing — RFID authentication and OCPP-compatible chargers allow you to bill employees or offer free charging as a perk
  • Visitor and customer charging — contactless payment options for public-facing sites (hotels, retail, restaurants)
  • Fleet depot charging — scheduled overnight charging for delivery vans, pool cars, and company fleets
  • Car park installations — feeder pillars, ground-mounted chargers, bollard protection, and cable management for tarmac and concrete surfaces

Commercial Charging Management

Commercial installations require more than hardware. We configure charging management platforms that give you full control:

  • OCPP 1.6/2.0 compliance — open protocol compatibility means you are not locked into a single vendor
  • Usage reporting — track kWh consumed per charger, per user, per session. Export data for expense management and carbon reporting
  • Revenue generation — set your own pricing per kWh or per session. Accept contactless, RFID, or app payments
  • Remote monitoring — real-time status of every charger, fault alerts, firmware updates, and usage analytics via web dashboard
  • Smart scheduling — prioritise fleet vehicles overnight, allocate capacity to staff during working hours, and open bays to the public at weekends

OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme: Up to £350 per socket, up to 40 sockets per applicant (£14,000 maximum). We handle the full WCS application, compliance documentation, and post-installation evidence submission.
