Fitted to current UK wiring regulations. Re-energize Electrical provides EV charger installation for homes and commercial sites across the Midlands, completing all work cleanly and to current UK regulations. ## EV charger installation price The starting price covers the mounting of your chosen chargepoint unit and connection to your existing consumer unit on a standard cable run. - EV charger installation: Price on request - Covers a standard surface cable run from your consumer unit to the charging point location - Includes circuit protection and electrical testing of the newly installed supply - Groundworks, trenching, or consumer unit upgrades required to support the charger are priced separately ### Included when agreed - Mounting the charging unit securely to an exterior wall or garage surface - Running a dedicated supply cable from your consumer unit to the charger - Installing circuit protection devices suited to the unit specifications - Full electrical testing of the new circuit to current UK wiring standards - Notification to the local Distribution Network Operator for your grid connection - Demonstrating the charging connection and smart scheduling features ### Not included automatically - Upgrading the main electrical incoming supply or main fuse - Excavation, trenching, or groundworks across unpaved ground or driveways - Replacing an obsolete fuse board where additional capacity is unavailable ## Plan the right charging setup Plugging into a regular household socket is slow and puts continuous demand on domestic wiring. A dedicated wallbox provides rapid, controlled charging suited to everyday travel. - **Faster daily charging:** A dedicated home unit charges your electric vehicle several times faster than a standard three pin plug, allowing you to top up fully overnight while electricity rates are lower. - **Protecting your electrical system:** EV chargers draw high electrical loads over long periods. Running a separate dedicated circuit directly from the fuse board avoids overloading existing household sockets and wiring. - **Workplace and commercial charging:** We install vehicle charging points for commercial premises and landlords across Derby, Burton upon Trent and Swadlincote, supporting company vehicles and staff commuting. ## What happens on the day We arrange a suitable installation day and carry out the work with minimal disruption to your home or business. - **Supply assessment and positioning:** Before mounting, we confirm the position of your consumer unit, verify spare capacity, and confirm the best exterior location for reaching your vehicle parking space. - **Cable installation and connection:** We run the dedicated supply cable neatly along exterior walls or through floor spaces, securing it in place and connecting it into a dedicated circuit breaker. - **Unit setup and power testing:** We isolate the power briefly to make the final connections, power up the charging unit, run safety checks, and tidy all work areas before leaving. ## How booking works 1. **Tell us about the job:** Tap Book Now and describe the work in the chat.

Most modern consumer units can accommodate an extra dedicated circuit breaker for an EV charger if there are spare ways available. During our initial checks, we inspect your board and main incoming fuse to ensure the overall electrical capacity is sufficient. If your unit is full or outdated, we explain the options for adding a small separate enclosure or upgrading your main board before work starts. ### Do I need permission from the electricity network to install a charger? Chargepoints add significant electrical load, so the local Distribution Network Operator must be notified. In most domestic settings with standard supplies, we submit an installation notification directly to the network operator following the work. Where a property has a looped supply or limited capacity, permission must be requested before connection, which we handle as part of our service. ### Where is the best place to mount the charging unit? The ideal location is close to where you regularly park your vehicle, allowing the charging lead to reach the car port without stretching or creating a trip hazard across footpaths. We also consider the neatest path for the cable run back to your electrical meter or consumer unit to keep exterior wiring discreet. ### Can I charge my car during cheaper overnight energy periods? Yes. Current regulations require all new home chargers to have smart functionality. This allows you to set charging schedules through a mobile app or your vehicle dashboard, ensuring charging takes place during off-peak hours when your energy tariff offers lower electricity rates. ### How long will my electricity be switched off during installation? We only need to turn off the main power supply for a short period while connecting the new circuit into your consumer unit and carrying out specific dead-circuit electrical tests. Most of the physical cable routing and wall mounting is completed with your power running normally. ## Business facts - Service area: Swadlincote, Burton upon Trent, Derby, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton, Birmingham - Hours: Calls answered 24/7 - Phone: +447450316338 - Email: rob@re-energizeelectrical.co.uk - Insurance: Public liability £2M, Employers' liability £10M, Professional indemnity £500K - Qualifications: Level 3 Award in the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018, City and Guilds, 2022 ## Book or ask a question - [Book Now](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/#chat) ## Related services - [Consumer unit replacement](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/fuse-board-replacement) - [EICR](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/eicr) - [House rewiring](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/house-rewiring) - [Electrical fault finding](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/electrical-fault-finding)
