EV charger installation in Walsall, Rushall and out toward Aldridge. Supply checked before quoting, tethered or untethered, tested and certificated.
Chargers follow driveways, and in Walsall that means the outer suburbs rather than the terraced streets. The question that decides the job is never the charger — it is whether the incoming supply will carry seven kilowatts alongside an electric shower and an induction hob, and on some older services the answer is not yet.
Around Aldridge and the Rushall side of town most drives are long enough for the charger to sit where the car actually parks, but plenty of houses have the meter at the front and the consumer unit at the back. How the cable gets from one to the other decides most of the job, so the route is walked and agreed before the charger is ordered.
The main fuse and the existing load, looked at first. It is the difference between a straightforward install and an unpleasant surprise.
Both fitted. Which suits you depends on where the car sits and whether you want a cable permanently attached.
Along the right line, clipped or buried as the run needs, not looped round the house on the cheapest path.
Including the earthing arrangement, which is the part of an EV install that actually matters and the part most often skipped.
The charger connected to its app and an off-peak schedule set, so it charges on the cheaper hours from the first night.
A sensor on the incoming supply where needed, so the charger turns itself down when the shower and oven are on instead of overloading the main fuse.

Usually. Where it does not, it is the main fuse rather than your wiring, and upgrading it is an application to the network operator — normally free, and we handle it. We check before quoting so you are not told halfway through.
Most installs are a day. A long cable run or a supply upgrade can add to that, and you will know which you are before we start.
It works, slowly, and it is not intended for daily use on a domestic socket. A dedicated charger is faster, protected properly and earthed for the job. If you drive very little, the honest answer is that you may not need one yet, and we will say so.
Only where the car parks on your own land. A cable across a public pavement is not something a responsible installer will fit, which is why charger work in Walsall is mostly out toward Rushall and Aldridge rather than on the terraced streets.
Yes, if the charger supports it. Several models can prioritise surplus solar, and that is set up and tested at the install so the car takes the daytime generation rather than it being exported cheaply.
