A Charge Point Matched to the Property's Supply
An electric vehicle charger is one of the largest loads in a property, and it may run for hours at a time. Before a charge point is fitted, the incoming supply, main fuse, earthing arrangement and consumer unit are assessed to confirm they can carry the extra demand safely.
Simply Electrical Contractors installs charge points on a dedicated circuit with the protective devices the charger requires. The cable route, mounting position and any groundwork are agreed in advance, and where the supply is limited, load management can be used so the charger backs off when the rest of the property is drawing heavily.
The network operator has to be told about a new charge point, and the installation is tested and certified on completion. You are shown how the charger and its app work, including scheduled charging for off-peak tariffs.

Common questions
Useful Information Before You Enquire
For advice about a specific property, contact the team with the postcode and job details.
01Can any property have an EV charger?
Most can, but it depends on the supply. Some properties need a main fuse upgrade or load management first, which is identified at the assessment.
02How fast will the car charge at home?
A typical single-phase home charger delivers around 7 kW, which adds roughly 25 to 30 miles of range an hour depending on the car. Three-phase supplies allow faster units.
03Is off-street parking essential?
A private driveway or garage makes installation straightforward. Charging across a pavement raises safety and permission questions that should be checked with the local council first.
04Will the installation be certified?
Yes. The new circuit is tested, an electrical installation certificate is issued and the work is notified under Building Regulations where that applies.
