EV Charger Installation Across Scotland

Yes. If you have an existing solar PV system, we can add a battery by retrofitting a hybrid inverter or adding a battery to a compatible existing inverter. A battery lets you store surplus solar to charge your EV in the evening. Ask us about battery options during your survey.

Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. Any finance is arranged and provided by our authorised partners, not by Scottish Energy Efficiency. Contact us for details.

Call us on 0141 230 0198 or fill in our online form. We arrange a no-obligation survey of your property, then provide a written, no-obligation quote covering the charger, installation, and timeline.

A standard EV charger installation typically takes between 2 and 4 hours. This includes mounting the unit, running the cable from your consumer unit, and full testing and commissioning. More complex installations — for example, where the consumer unit is far from the charging point or a three-phase supply is needed — may take a full day. We handle all electrical certification and notify your DNO as required.

Yes. The myenergi Zappi charger is specifically designed to divert excess solar energy to your EV. In Eco mode, it uses only surplus solar generation. In Eco+ mode, it draws a mix of solar and grid power to maintain a minimum charge rate. Pairing a solar PV system with an EV charger can reduce how much grid electricity you buy for charging.

A 7kW charger operates on a single-phase electricity supply, which is standard in most Scottish homes. A 22kW charger requires a three-phase supply, which is less common in residential properties but standard in many commercial premises. It charges approximately 3 times faster. Most homeowners find a 7kW charger more than sufficient for overnight charging.

In most cases, no. EV charger installations fall under permitted development rights in Scotland, provided the charger is within the curtilage of your property and not facing a highway in a conservation area. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas may require additional consents. We advise checking with your local planning authority if you are unsure, and we can assist with any necessary applications.

It depends on your priorities. The Ohme Home Pro (from £799) is excellent value with smart tariff integration, ideal if you want to minimise electricity costs. The myenergi Zappi (from £899) is the best choice if you have or plan to install solar panels, thanks to its solar diversion capability. The Andersen A2 (from £1,200) is the premium option with a beautiful design and solid wood accents. All three are weatherproof and suited to Scottish conditions.

Most Scottish homes are suitable for EV charger installation. Key requirements include off-street parking (a driveway or garage), a consumer unit with capacity for a dedicated circuit, and a suitable wall or post for mounting. We carry out a pre-installation survey to assess your property, check your electrical supply, and recommend the best charger and cable route. Call us on 0141 230 0198 to arrange a survey.
