EV Charger Installation
Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common on UK roads, and installing a home EV charger is the most convenient way to keep your vehicle powered.
Dedicated EV Charging
A dedicated charger allows you to charge your car safely and efficiently at home, rather than relying on public charging stations.
Bennett Solar installs EV charging systems for homeowners looking to make electric vehicle charging simple and reliable. Our team can assess your property, recommend a suitable charger, and install a system that integrates safely with your home’s electrical supply.
Typical Installation Process
Before installation, our team will assess your property and electrical system to ensure the charger can be installed safely and efficiently. This assessment will likely include six key steps:
Step 1
Reviewing your property’s electrical supply and consumer unit
Step 2
Identifying the most suitable location for the charging unit
Step 3
Installing the EV charger unit in the agreed location
Step 4
Running electrical cabling between the charger and the consumer unit
Step 5
Installing safety components such as isolators and protective devices
Step 6
Testing the charger to ensure it operates safely and correctly
Once installation is complete, our team will demonstrate how the charger works and answer any questions you may have about its operation.

EV Chargers & Solar Energy
If your home already has solar panels installed, it may be possible to charge your electric vehicle using some of the electricity your system generates. This can help make even greater use of the renewable energy produced by your solar panels and reduce reliance on electricity from the grid.

Our EV Charger FAQs
How long does it take to install a home EV charger?
Most home EV charger installations can be completed within a few hours, although the exact time depends on the layout of your property and the distance between the charger location and the consumer unit. Our installers will assess everything in advance to ensure the installation runs smoothly.
Can I install an EV charger at home?
In most cases, yes. If your property has off-street parking and a suitable electrical supply, installing a home EV charger is usually straightforward. During the initial assessment, our team will review your electrical system and confirm whether any upgrades are required before installation.
Is it safe to charge an electric vehicle using a standard socket?
While it is technically possible, using a standard household socket for regular charging is not recommended. Dedicated EV chargers are designed specifically for vehicle charging and include built-in safety features that provide faster, safer, and more reliable charging.
Can an EV charger work with solar panels?
Yes. If your property already has solar panels installed, it may be possible to charge your electric vehicle using some of the electricity your system generates. This can help you make greater use of renewable energy produced at your home.
What type of EV charger do I need?
The most suitable charger depends on factors such as your vehicle, charging preferences, and your property’s electrical supply. Our team can recommend a charger that works well with your home and provides the charging speed you need.
