Home charging is the easiest option: leave every morning with a full battery. Pair your charger with solar panels and charge on your own power.
Which charger fits your solar panels?
Charging power and phases set how fast you charge. What your home can handle depends on the fuse box. We check what fits without overloading your system.
Have solar panels or a home battery? We can include smart charging so you charge mainly when your own power is available or cheap. How surplus charging works is on charging on solar power.
A home charger works best when a few choices are right. These tips keep you on track
Smart charging
Prefer charging when panels generate or when the price is low. That keeps driving cheaper.
Safety
Load balancing shares power between home and car so your consumer unit stays within limits.
1-phase or 3-phase
Your connection sets how hard you can charge. We check that upfront so the promise matches reality.
Cable route
From consumer unit to driveway: the route sets cost and neatness. Agree it early, not on install day.
App and access
Want guest charging or kWh insight? Pick a charger with a clear app and access you control.
Future-proof
Second car or heat pump later? Leave headroom in your connection so you do not need another upgrade soon.
How it works
How does home charging work?
A wallbox is a fixed charging point on your wall or a small post. It delivers more power than a socket and has protection against overload. You plug in the car, and charging starts automatically or via an app or card.
What does charging power mean?
Charging power is in kilowatts and sets how fast you charge. A single-phase connection charges more gently than a three-phase one. How much your home can handle depends on your fuse box. We check in advance what fits without overloading your system.
Charging on your own solar power
If you have solar panels, you can charge your car with your own generated power. Smart charging makes the car charge mainly when your panels are producing. How surplus charging works is on charging on solar power.
Charger, battery and dynamic contract
A charger pairs nicely with a home battery and a dynamic energy contract. You then charge on your own power or during the cheapest hours of the day. Load balancing spreads the available power neatly across your home and the car.
Smart energy at home
Solar panels
Solar panels increase the value of your home, including through a better energy label. They are not just a smart investment for later, but something you can enjoy today.

Home battery
The sun does not only shine when you need power. With a battery you store today's energy for tomorrow morning's coffee. Or you use stored power on cloudy days and in the evening.

Heat pump
A heat pump draws warmth from the outside air and uses far less gas than a boiler. Your home stays comfortable, summer and winter, while you save on your energy bill.

Air conditioning
On a hot day you just want a room that feels liveable again. A fixed air conditioner cools quickly, and can top up heat in that same room in winter.
