They managed to finish all the work earlier than expected which is great.
We are very pleased with the work done and we are pretty sure that we will contact Energize Electrical again for any future services.


I don’t think anyone likes the appearance of the cable trunking running through your living room, into the kitchen and to the outside wall, whilst you are sitting on your sofa enjoy some peace and quiet.
Energize electrical understood that exactly. They knew what I wanted. They were able to run the cable from the fuse box, underneath the house to the external garage. They were able to do what other companies could not. Again absolutely amazing.




The team were excellent. Communication was clear. Work done to a high standard. They left everything clean and tidy afterward.

With changing legislation coming into force in just under a decade, there’s never been a better time to invest in an electric vehicle of your own. If you do take the plunge, you’re going to need an EV charging point installed in your home to guarantee a smooth ride.
Installing an EV charging station on your property is the cheapest and most convenient way to top up your EV's battery. In addition, EV charging points can be set up to charge your vehicle during off-peak times (such as overnight). This way, not only will you wake up to a full battery for the day ahead, you’ll save some pennies, too. We have answered the most frequently asked questions about our EV Charger installation services, however, please do get in touch if you have more questions.
EV charging stations are typically installed on an exterior wall of your home or garage. Using one of our qualified electricians, installing your new EV charging point will usually take no more than a day to complete, so you can get back to driving.
- EV – Electric Vehicle
- EVHS – Electric Vehicle Home charging Scheme. Available for domestic installations.

Most homes have single phase 230V supplies meaning the maximum power of chargers suitable are 7kw/32amps. Chargers are supplied by a 6mm cable wired directly from your fusebox/consumer unit and must be on their own dedicated circuit. Depending on the condition and capacity of your fusebox/consumer unit an additional unit may need to be installed to supply the electric vehicle circuit. A 32A charger will give 30 miles of range per hour, the size of your cars battery will determine how long it will take to charge, the industry leading Tesla Model 3 will take around 8 hours from empty.
Suppliers now offer great EV tariffs with money saving incentives, scheduled charging enables the car to be plugged in and set to charge between pre-set times like midnight and 7am to charge when the EV tariff gives the lowest price of electricity. This requires a smart meter to be fitted by your supplier. A full electric Hyundai Ioniq costs much less to run than than an equivalent petrol or diesel saloon, at around £4.80 to charge from empty to full with a range of 193 miles, costing only 2.94p per mile (based on 14p/kWh tariff).
Remember, you could be entitled to up to £500 grant funding to help with the cost of installation.
9/10 customers go for tethered – a built in lead – as it is more convenient and allows you to keep your spare lead in the boot to use when you are away from home. Some clients prefer to have untethered – socket only – as they find the coiled leads untidy when not in use, it’s a matter of personal taste and what suits you.
