EV Charger Installationin Winchester & HampshireOZEV Authorised, Fitted in Hours

We fit Fox, Zappi, Ohme and Wallbox charge points. Fox L Series is the value choice and starts at £900 supplied and fitted. Zappi, from £1,200 supplied and fitted, is the unit to choose where solar or battery integration is the priority, because its surplus-following modes are the most mature. Ohme suits drivers whose priority is deep tariff integration and automatic cheap-rate scheduling. Wallbox suits households that want a compact unit and straightforward app control.

Tethered units keep a cable permanently attached, which is convenient and tidy for a single-car household. Socketed units are neater on a wall, allow different cables and are easier to replace if a cable is damaged. If you have bought any of these already, fit-only installation starts at £500.

Almost all domestic installs are 7kW single phase, which is the practical limit of a standard UK supply and enough to fill most cars overnight. Where a property has a three-phase supply, more common on commercial premises and larger rural properties, 22kW becomes possible and worth discussing.

Every installation starts at the incoming supply. We check the main fuse rating and the earthing arrangement, because on TN-C-S supplies a charge point requires protection against PEN conductor faults, either built into the unit or provided by a separate device, and on some TT arrangements an earth rod is needed. This is not optional detail; it is the part that keeps the metal bodywork of a car safe on a wet drive.

Load management is the second consideration. Where the existing demand plus a full charging load could exceed the supply, we fit a current sensor on the incoming supply so the charger throttles instead of blowing the main fuse. It costs a fraction of a supply upgrade and is invisible in normal use.

The circuit itself is a dedicated run from the consumer unit with correctly sized cable, appropriate RCD protection and clear labelling. Where the existing board has no spare way, no RCD protection or an obsolete design, we quote a consumer unit upgrade as a separate line so the cost is transparent.

Where the unit goes is a practical decision made with the car on the drive: cable reach to the charge port, no cable across a footpath, screen visible without crouching, and a mounting height that suits everyone who will use it. Runs are contained in conduit or trunking where they are exposed, clipped neatly where they are not, and sealed properly at every wall penetration.

Garages, detached outbuildings and long driveways bring longer runs, sometimes armoured cable and occasionally a submain, all of which we price at survey rather than on the day. Rendered, flint and listed frontages in and around Winchester need particular care over penetrations and fixings, and we will discuss the route with you before drilling anything.

Domestic installs are single units on a household supply, usually completed in a few hours with certification issued the same day. Landlord installations add the documentation a letting requires, and we make sure the certification and instructions are in a form you can hand to a tenant or agent.

Workplace and commercial charging is planned around bay layout, simultaneous demand and how the electricity will be accounted for. Multiple units on one supply need dynamic load management so the site total stays inside the available capacity, and three-phase premises can support higher-power units. Access, trading hours and cable containment across car parks are all covered in the quote.
