EV Charger Installation

At Ocean City Electrical, we provide specialist domestic and commercial EV charger installation across Plymouth, Devon, and Cornwall. Our experienced electricians guide you from survey to certificate, making the switch to electric easy and compliant.

Charging at home is convenient and cost effective, with smart chargers allowing off-peak schedules and solar integration. We install reliable 7 kW home units, and where supply allows, faster 11 kW and 22 kW options for multiple vehicles or quicker turnarounds.

Our standard installation includes supply assessment, cable route planning, tidy installation, testing, and full handover. Where required, we can upgrade consumer units and add load management for multi-point setups.

What our EV charger service covers

  • Site survey and recommendation, we assess your electrical system, parking layout, and ideal charger position.
  • Equipment advice, guidance on suitable chargers and smart features for your routine.
  • Professional installation, carried out by qualified electricians with certification.
  • Aftercare and support, help with apps, settings, and future upgrades.

Home EV Chargers

Most homes choose a 7 kW charger for everyday use. If you have three-phase power or specific needs, we can install 11 kW or 22 kW chargers. Smart control lets you automate charging when tariffs are lower, and with solar PV you can prioritise surplus generation.

Commercial and Landlord Charging

We design and install charging for offices, hospitality, rental properties, and shared parking. Options include load balancing, bay signage, usage monitoring, and planned maintenance.

What affects cost

  • Charger rating, for example 7 kW or 22 kW.
  • Condition of your existing supply and consumer unit.
  • Distance and complexity of cable routes.
  • Grant eligibility and smart feature choices.
  • Domestic, landlord, or commercial requirements.

FAQs

Do I need planning permission?

Most homes with off street parking do not require planning permission for a wall mounted charger. Listed buildings or conservation areas may have specific requirements.

Can I use a normal plug socket?

We do not recommend three pin sockets for regular charging. A dedicated EV charger is faster , safer , and designed for continuous use.

How long does installation take?

Many standard home installs complete within half a day. Long cable runs or consumer unit upgrades can extend the time required.

Can you integrate with solar and smart tariffs?

Yes. We install smart chargers compatible with solar PV and time of use tariffs , so you can charge from surplus generation or cheaper overnight rates.
