We install all the popular makes and models of EV chargers for homes in Derby. The regular brands of EV charger we install most include Pod Point, Ohme, Easee, Zappi, EO and Hypervolt, as well as many more.

The correct EV charger is not the same for everyone, and there is no one best EV charger for every home. We can advise you on the most suitable EV charger for your home, your electric vehicle and how you plan to use it.

We look at the electric car or cars you have, the most suitable make and model of charger, and when you are likely to use it — whether that’s mainly during the daytime or overnight.

You may want an EV charger with solar compatibility and smart charging features, allowing you to make better use of the electricity your solar panels generate.
