Popular Charger Brands We Install
We install all four of the most popular home EV chargers in the UK and recommend each for different reasons:
Zappi by myenergi

Zappi’s eco-modes divert surplus solar generation directly into your car battery, effectively free charging during daylight hours. myenergi is a British company based in Lincolnshire, and the most popular solar-compatible charger we install across Hertfordshire.

Easee One
The standout choice for households with two EVs, or older properties where the main fuse has less headroom. Easee’s dynamic load balancing monitors total household electricity use in real time and adjusts charging speed to prevent any risk of tripping the main fuse, a genuinely useful feature across the Victorian terraces and 1930s semis common throughout Hertfordshire.

Ohme Home Pro
Ideal if you are on Intelligent Octopus or another smart energy tariff. Ohme connects directly to your energy account and charges your car when electricity is cheapest, often under 10p per kWh overnight. For EV drivers who want to minimise charging costs without thinking about it, this is the most automated of the four.

Hypervolt Home 3.0
A British-made smart charger with solar integration, dynamic load balancing, and a five-year warranty, the longest of any charger we install. A strong all-round choice for homeowners who want capable smart features at a competitive price and prefer a British-manufactured product.

Preparing for Your Home EV Charger Installations
When you request a quote, one of the first things we ask for is a set of photos of your electrical setup. This lets us assess your property remotely and give you an accurate, fixed-price quote without an unnecessary site visit.
We typically need five photos: your main cut-out fuse with the rating visible, the incoming supply cable, your consumer unit with the cover open if safe to do so, your electric meter, and a wide-angle shot of the area plus your proposed charger location.
Our full photo guide walks through exactly what we need and why. Most homeowners can put it together in under ten minutes, and it means your quote is accurate the first time, no surprises on installation day, and no need for a preliminary site visit before we can confirm a price.
