Are there any grants available?
There are a few grant schemes available for EV charger installations, visit our grants page for more information
Is there any warranty?
Every charge point we install comes with a 3 year manufacturer parts and labour warranty, if you have a problem with your charge point we can assist you in claiming this. All other parts we install such as RCBO’s are covered by a 12 month parts and labour warranty. SPD surge protection devices are not covered by warranty as they are a one use product and need replacing when they’ve been triggered in the event of a surge. If you are having issues and need support, contact us
How to I select installation distance at checkout?
To make it as simple as possible we ask you to select how much cable is required to be installed to power your new EV charge point. This is the distance between your electricity meter or consumer unit (whichever is closer) and the proposed installation location of your EV charger. If you’re unsure of have a secondary consumer unit in a garage or outhouse you think we could use then contact us and we can confirm!
