If you have bought an electric vehicle or you are about to, the next step is getting a home charger installed. But with so many options on the market, which one is right for you? As NAPIT-registered EV charger installers in Rotherham and South Yorkshire, we fit all the leading brands. Here is an honest breakdown of the most popular home chargers we install in 2026.
Zappi EV Charger
The Zappi from Myenergi is one of the most popular home chargers in the UK, and it is the one we install most often across Wickersley, Maltby, and Swinton. What makes it stand out is its ability to work with solar panels. If you have solar PV on your roof, the Zappi can divert surplus energy to charge your car for free rather than sending it back to the grid.
It charges at up to 7kW on a single-phase supply, which gives most electric cars a full charge overnight. It also has a built-in energy meter so you can track exactly what you are using. The Zappi is a premium product and costs more than a basic charger, but if you have solar panels or plan to get them, it pays for itself over time.
Best for: Homeowners with solar panels or those planning to install them. Very popular with customers in Wath upon Dearne and Dinnington who want to maximise their energy savings.
Ohme Home Pro
The Ohme Home Pro is all about smart charging. It connects to your energy tariff and automatically charges your car when electricity is cheapest — typically between midnight and 5am on time-of-use tariffs like Octopus Go or Intelligent Octopus. Some of our customers across Mexborough and Barnburgh are charging their cars for as little as 7p per kWh using this charger.
It also integrates with the Ohme app, which lets you set charging schedules, monitor usage, and even set a monthly budget. The build quality is solid and installation is straightforward. At 7.4kW it is slightly faster than the standard Zappi on single phase.
Best for: Drivers on smart energy tariffs who want the lowest possible charging costs. We install these regularly for customers in Denaby, Hickleton, and across the Rotherham area.
Pod Point Solo 3
The Pod Point Solo 3 is a clean, simple charger that does exactly what it needs to without any fuss. It is one of the most affordable options and has been a best-seller in the UK for years. We have installed these across Kiveton Park, Swinton, and throughout South Yorkshire.
It charges at up to 7kW, has a built-in Type 2 cable so you do not need to carry one around, and it comes with a 3-year warranty. The app is basic compared to Ohme but covers the essentials — scheduling and usage tracking.
Best for: Homeowners who want a reliable, no-nonsense charger at a good value. Popular with first-time EV owners in Maltby, Wickersley, and Rotherham.
Easee One
The Easee One is a compact, Scandinavian-designed charger that looks great on any wall. It is one of the smallest chargers available and has a clean, modern design that appeals to homeowners who care about aesthetics. We have fitted these in Dinnington, Mexborough, and across South Yorkshire.
It charges at up to 7.4kW, has built-in load balancing so it will not overload your supply, and the app is excellent. If you have two EVs, you can add a second Easee unit and they will share the available power intelligently.
Best for: Homeowners who want a sleek, compact charger. Great for properties in conservation areas or where appearance matters.
Which Charger Should You Choose?
The right charger depends on your setup and priorities. If you have solar panels, go for the Zappi. If you want the cheapest running costs on a smart tariff, the Ohme Home Pro is hard to beat. If you want something simple and affordable, the Pod Point Solo 3 is a solid choice. And if aesthetics matter, the Easee One is the best-looking unit on the market.
All four are excellent chargers that we install regularly. Every installation includes full electrical testing, certification, and a check on your consumer unit to make sure it can handle the additional load. If your fuseboard needs upgrading, we can handle that at the same time.
