What are the options for commercial EV fleet charging in Frome?

Commercial fleet charging in Frome typically uses 7kW Type 2 AC chargers per bay, or 22kW dual-phase where available. For large fleets, load management systems (dynamic load balancing) prevent overloading the site supply. We assess your supply capacity before specifying hardware.

Do I need a 3-phase supply for fleet EV charging?

Not always — single-phase 7kW chargers work for overnight charging. For faster charging (22kW) or multiple simultaneous users, 3-phase is required. We assess your current DNO supply, fuse rating, and available headroom before recommending an upgrade or smart load management.

Is OZEV workplace charging grant available for fleet charging?

OZEV's Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) offers up to £350 per socket (max 40 sockets per application) for businesses installing EV charge points. DS Electrical is an OZEV-authorised installer — we handle the application. The grant is claimed at point of installation, reducing your upfront cost.

How long does a commercial fleet charging installation take?

A 4-bay fleet charging installation (including distribution board upgrade and groundworks) typically takes 2–3 days. Larger installations with trenching and civil works are phased to keep some bays operational. We project-manage the full installation including DNO notification.

Local Knowledge · Frome

Why fleet EV in Frome needs a load assessment first

Frome's a different shape from Wells or Bath — the Marston Trading Estate and Commerce Park to the south carry most of the town's industrial and fleet operators, with strong 3-phase availability for 8 to 12-bay fleet rollouts without DNO escalation. The Cheap Street / Catherine Hill independent retail core is heritage and tight, so we usually recommend single 7 kW destination chargers with dynamic load management rather than upgrades. Frome has a high proportion of creative-sector and food-and-drink SMEs taking up the OZEV grant for staff parking.

Older 1970s units around Westway / Vallis Way frequently still have legacy split-load consumer units that don't meet BS 7671 18th Edition Amd 2 for new EV circuits — Type A RCBO is mandatory. Marston Trading Estate has good supply infrastructure but landlord consent for sub-main runs needs sorting upfront.

Coverage area: Market Place, Cheap Street, Catherine Hill, Marston Trading Estate, Commerce Park, Welshmill, Vallis Way, Westway, Berkley, Beckington, Rode, Mells, Nunney.
