Home EV Charger Installation in Maltby
MP Electrical fits dedicated home EV charging points across Maltby and the surrounding area. If you’re making the switch to electric and want a proper home charger — faster, safer, and smarter than a three-pin plug — we’ll install a 7kW unit that gives you a full charge overnight. Every installation is NAPIT registered and certified.
We supply and fit all leading charger brands including Ohme, Easee, Zappi, Hypervolt, and Andersen. We’ll recommend the right charger for your property, your car, and your electricity tariff.
EV Charger Installations in Maltby’s Housing Mix
Maltby has a distinctive mix of housing that affects how we approach each installation. The ex-mining community developed primarily between the 1930s and 1960s, with large numbers of semi-detached and terraced properties built for colliery workers. Many of these along Tickhill Road, Muglet Lane, Birch Avenue, and the Clifton estates have since been purchased through right-to-buy and modified by their owners — driveways added where front gardens once were, garages built, and extensions constructed.
For properties with driveways, the installation is typically straightforward. We mount the charger on the house wall or garage wall nearest to where you park, with a dedicated cable run from your consumer unit. Most Maltby homes have their fuseboard in the hallway, under the stairs, or in the kitchen, so the cable route depends on your specific layout.
For Maltby’s terraced properties — particularly the rows along Salisbury Road, High Street, and near the old colliery site — the situation requires more creative solutions. If you have a rear yard with vehicle access, we can route the charger to the back of the property. If you park on the street, you may need to explore options like a trailing cable with a channel cover, though this requires careful risk assessment and isn’t always feasible. We’ll assess your specific situation during the survey and give you honest advice about what’s possible.
Fuseboard and Supply Considerations
An EV charger needs its own dedicated 32-amp circuit from your consumer unit. In Maltby’s older properties — particularly the 1930s to 1960s builds — the existing fuseboard is often an older type that won’t accommodate this additional circuit safely. Common issues we find include rewireable fuse boxes with no spare capacity, split-load boards without individual RCBO protection, and occasionally boards that are already fully loaded from previous additions like electric showers or immersion heaters.
If your consumer unit needs upgrading, we can carry out a fuseboard replacement in Maltby at the same time as your EV charger installation. This is often the most cost-effective approach, as both jobs share some of the same work — and you end up with a modern board that’s ready for any future electrical additions.
We also check your incoming electrical supply as part of every EV charger survey. Most Maltby properties have a standard 80-amp or 100-amp single-phase supply, which is adequate for a 7kW charger. In some older properties where the supply is lower, or where you’re already running high-demand appliances, we may need to use a charger with built-in load management to prevent overloading your supply.
Smart Charging and Running Costs
A dedicated home charger with smart features can dramatically reduce your charging costs. On a standard electricity tariff, charging at home costs roughly 24p per kWh. But with a time-of-use tariff like Octopus Go, you can charge overnight at around 7.5p per kWh — cutting your costs by more than two-thirds.
Smart chargers like the Ohme and Zappi connect to these tariffs automatically, scheduling your charging for the cheapest hours without you having to think about it. You plug in when you get home, and the charger does the rest. For a typical daily commute of 30 miles, overnight smart charging costs around 75p — compared to £8-10 in petrol or diesel.
If you’re considering solar panels in the future, a Zappi charger can also divert excess solar generation to your car during the day, making your driving essentially free during sunny months.
The Installation Process
A typical installation in Maltby takes between three and five hours. We’ll agree the exact location of the charger during the survey, taking into account your parking position, cable route, and any aesthetic preferences. The work involves mounting the unit, running the dedicated circuit, fitting the RCBO protection in your consumer unit, installing an earth rod where required, and carrying out full electrical testing.
Once installed and tested, we’ll set up the app, connect the charger to your Wi-Fi, and walk you through the smart features. Your electrical installation certificate is issued on the day.
If you also need your electrical installation inspected, we can carry out an EICR in Maltby at the same visit.
