Home vs workplace charging
Home Charging vs Workplace Charging: What’s Different?
Both installations must be safe and compliant, but the design considerations can differ depending on who is using the charger and how often it will be used.
Typical usage
Home charging is usually overnight and predictable. Workplace charging may be shared, higher turnover, and needs clear user guidance.
Electrical capacity
We assess the incoming supply, existing loads, and distribution equipment to confirm the installation is appropriately rated and protected.
Access & positioning
For homes, we prioritize cable routes and a tidy finish. For workplaces, we consider bay layout, signage, and practical cable management.
Future expansion
Businesses often plan for additional chargers. We can advise on scalable approaches and load management where appropriate.
Charger options
Choosing the Right EV Charger
We’ll help you choose a charger that suits your vehicle, property, and charging habits—balancing convenience, features, and long-term reliability.
Tethered vs untethered
Tethered chargers have a fixed cable for quick plug-in convenience. Untethered chargers use a separate cable and can look tidier when not in use.
Smart charging features
Schedule charging for off-peak times, monitor usage, and control access. Smart features can be especially useful for shared or workplace setups.
Load management
Where suitable, load management can help reduce the risk of overloading by balancing EV charging with other household or site demand.
Mounting & finish
We’ll advise on the best mounting location and cable route to keep the installation neat, weather-appropriate, and easy to use.

EV Charger Installation FAQs
Answers to common questions from homeowners and businesses across London, Kent, and the South East.
Do I need a dedicated circuit for an EV charger?
In most cases, yes. A dedicated circuit with the correct protection helps ensure safe, reliable charging and reduces the risk of overloading existing circuits.
Can you install a charger if my consumer unit is older?
We’ll assess your existing equipment during the survey. If upgrades are required for safety or compliance, we’ll explain the options and include them in your quote.
What’s the difference between tethered and untethered chargers?
Tethered chargers have a fixed cable attached. Untethered chargers use a separate cable. The best choice depends on convenience, appearance, and how many vehicles will use the charger.
