Why Choose PowerArc for Your EV Charger?
EV charger installation requires a qualified electrician who understands both the electrical demands of high-power charging and the specific requirements of BS 7671 and the IET Code of Practice for EV charging. PowerArc's electricians are fully trained and certified for EV charger installation. We don't just install the charger — we assess your entire electrical supply. If your consumer unit needs upgrading, your earthing needs improving, or you need a dedicated circuit installed, we handle everything as part of a single, coordinated project. No separate contractors, no delays.
Qualified & OZEV Certified Installers
PowerArc is an Qualified Electrical Contractor and registered OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) installer. This means we are certified to carry out EV charger installations that meet all UK electrical safety standards and qualify for government grants where available. Our installations comply with BS 7671 wiring regulations and the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation.
Professional EV Charger Installation in East London & Essex
Charging your electric vehicle at home is up to 5 times cheaper than using public chargers and infinitely more convenient. A dedicated home charger provides faster, safer charging than a standard 3-pin plug socket, and smart features allow you to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates. PowerArc makes the installation process simple, from survey to commissioning in as little as one day.
Choosing the Right EV Charger
The best charger for you depends on your vehicle, driving habits, electrical supply, and budget. Most homes can accommodate a 7kW charger, which adds approximately 30 miles of range per hour of charging. For three-phase supplies, 22kW chargers are available. PowerArc provides impartial advice to help you choose the right charger from brands like Ohme, Zappi, Easee, Pod Point, and Wallbox.
Solar PV & EV: The Perfect Combination
If you have solar panels, an intelligent charger like the Zappi can automatically divert surplus solar energy to your car, giving you virtually free miles. PowerArc installs and configures solar-integrated EV charging systems that maximise your renewable energy usage and minimise grid electricity costs.
Workplace & Commercial EV Charging
Offering workplace charging is increasingly important for employee retention, visitor experience, and corporate sustainability goals. PowerArc designs and installs multi-bay commercial charging systems with smart load management, ensuring your building’s electrical supply isn’t overloaded. We handle everything from planning and design to installation and ongoing maintenance.

Questions
EV chargers FAQs
How long does an EV charger installation take?
A standard home installation typically takes 3-5 hours. This includes mounting the charger, running the cable from the consumer unit, and commissioning. More complex installations may take a full day.
Do I need to upgrade my consumer unit?
Not always. We assess your existing electrical supply during the survey. If your consumer unit is outdated or doesn't have space for a new circuit, we'll include the upgrade in our quote.
Can I charge my EV from a normal socket?
Technically yes, but it's slow (8-12 hours for a partial charge) and draws continuous high current from a socket not designed for it. A dedicated EV charger is 3-4 times faster and significantly safer.
Which EV charger brands do you install?
We install all major brands including Ohme, Zappi, Easee, Pod Point, Wallbox, and more. We provide impartial advice on the best charger for your specific requirements.
Are there government grants for EV chargers?
The EV chargepoint grant (formerly EVHS) provides up to £350 off the cost of installation for eligible homeowners and tenants. PowerArc handles the grant application as part of the installation process.
Can I use my solar panels to charge my EV?
Yes, with a compatible charger like the Zappi, surplus solar energy can be automatically diverted to charge your car. PowerArc installs and configures solar-integrated EV charging systems.
