Home EV Charger Installation in Wickersley
MP Electrical installs home EV charging points across Wickersley and the surrounding area. Whether you’ve just ordered your first electric vehicle or you’re switching from a three-pin plug, we’ll fit a dedicated 7kW home charger that charges your car overnight — ready for the morning with a full battery. Every installation is NAPIT registered and comes with your electrical certificate.
We install all major charger brands including Easee, Ohme, Zappi, Hypervolt, and Andersen. Each has different strengths depending on your priorities — whether that’s smart tariff integration, solar compatibility, load balancing, or simply the cleanest wall-mounted design. We’ll talk through the options and recommend what suits your property and your driving habits.
Why Wickersley Properties Are Well Suited for EV Charging
Wickersley’s housing stock is predominantly 1960s through to 1990s construction — detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages. Properties along Bawtry Road, Morthen Road, Larch Gardens, Sorby Way, and the estates off Wickersley Road almost all have off-street parking, which is the main requirement for a home charging point.
This makes Wickersley one of the more straightforward areas we cover for EV charger installations. In most cases, we can mount the charger on the house wall adjacent to where you park, with a short cable run from your consumer unit. If your fuseboard is in the hallway or under the stairs — which is typical in Wickersley’s 1970s and 80s builds — the cable route usually runs through the loft space or along the outside wall to the charging point.
For properties with detached garages, we can either mount the charger on the garage wall with a dedicated supply run from the house, or fit it on the house wall with a longer tethered cable. The best option depends on where you normally park and the distance involved — we’ll assess this during the survey.
Electrical Requirements for EV Charger Installation
A dedicated EV charger draws up to 32 amps on its own circuit — roughly the same as an electric shower. This means it needs its own dedicated circuit from your consumer unit, protected by an appropriate RCBO, and in most cases a separate earth rod (known as a TT earthing arrangement for the charging circuit).
Many Wickersley homes built in the 1960s and 70s still have their original fuseboards or first-generation MCB boards from the 1980s. If your consumer unit doesn’t have a spare way for the EV circuit, or if it’s an older board without RCBO protection, you’ll need a fuseboard upgrade in Wickersley as part of the installation. We can do both jobs together, which saves time and disruption.
We also carry out a DNO (Distribution Network Operator) notification for every EV charger installation, as required by regulations. This lets your electricity supplier know about the additional load on your supply. In most residential areas of Wickersley, the existing supply is adequate for a 7kW charger without any upgrades to the incoming supply.
Smart Charging and Tariff Integration
One of the biggest advantages of a dedicated home charger over a three-pin plug — beyond the much faster charging speed — is smart tariff integration. Chargers like the Ohme and Zappi can connect to time-of-use electricity tariffs such as Octopus Go, Intelligent Octopus, or Cosy Octopus, automatically scheduling your charging during the cheapest overnight hours.
On Octopus Go, for example, electricity drops to around 7.5p per kWh between midnight and 5am. Charging a typical 60kWh battery from empty to full at that rate costs roughly £4.50 — compared to £15-20 at standard daytime rates. Over a year of daily driving, smart charging can save you hundreds of pounds.
If you have solar panels — which several Wickersley properties have fitted in recent years — the Zappi charger can use your excess solar generation to charge your car during the day, reducing your grid consumption further. We can set up the solar divert mode as part of the installation.
What to Expect on Installation Day
A typical EV charger installation in Wickersley takes three to five hours. We’ll confirm the exact timeframe when we book. The process involves fitting the charger unit on your wall, running the dedicated cable from your consumer unit, installing the RCBO and any additional protection, fitting the earth rod, and carrying out full electrical testing.
Once everything is tested and confirmed safe, we’ll help you set up the charger’s app on your phone, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and walk you through the settings — including scheduling, tariff integration, and any load management features. Your electrical certificate is provided on the day.
If you also need an EICR inspection in Wickersley, we can carry this out at the same time to check the overall condition of your electrical installation.
