Which type of parking do you have at your property?
Whether you have on-street or off-street parking makes a big difference to the process of buying and installing a home EV charger.
Off-street
Having somewhere to park your EV that’s either on your land or attached to your property, such as a driveway, garage or carport, means that aside from notifying your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) and gathering essential information about the location you wish to place your charger, the process is straightforward, particularly if you also own the property.
On-street
Recent changes to the grants available from the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) mean that households who park their EV’s on the street can claim up to £350 toward the price of an EV home charger, and a cross pavement charging solution such as a gully or the innovative ChargeArm over pavement solution.
To do this you will need to get a quote from an OZEV approved installer (like We Power Your Car) and a gully supplier, then apply to your local council. Watch our video to understand the full process.
Once you have the required permissions in place we can apply for the grant on your behalf and will require the same information as for any other home installation, which we gather via a smart phone survey.

Where do you park your car?
Knowing where you park your car will help our team understand whether you can have a home EV charger and if the installation falls within our standard installation package.

Own or rented
If you are the owner of the property, permission to install an electric vehicle charger is not required.
However, if you live in rented accommodation, we will need your landlord’s permission before we can install the charger.
The good news is that a £350 grant is available for those living in rental accommodation until the end of March 2025.

HOW MANY METERS IS IT FROM YOUR METER CABINET TO WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE THE CHARGER?
If your proposed charger location is further than 10 meters away from your meter cabinet, please be aware that it will not be covered by our standard installation package.
In addition, if there is also the potential for the need to dig trenches or drill holes through multiple walls, additional costs may apply.
After submitting this form, one of our expert advisors will be in touch to discuss the most cost-effective way of dealing with your situation.

What Is An Electric Meter?
Knowing the location of your electric meter will help our team of advisors recommend the best place for your charger and will also determine whether your property falls within our standard installation package.
Your electric meter is a device that measures the electricity your house or business consumes.
The electric meter is where you would take your electricity reading from, though if you have a smart meter installed you can get the same information from this unit too.

Is there a strong WiFi or mobile signal where you would like your charger installed?
One of the biggest benefits of having an EV charger at home is that it allows you to take advantage of smart charging features.
Certain smart features, such as charge scheduling, allow you to charge when the grid is at its cheapest and greenest, making a significant impact on both your carbon footprint and your budget.
To be able to take advantage of smart charging, though, you will need either a strong WiFi or mobile phone signal where you would like your charger installed to be able to connect your charger with the relevant app.

Why do we require your postcode?
Your postcode is important for a number of reasons. To start with, it allows our advisors to quickly check your property and find viable locations for your EV charger to be installed.
Additionally, your postcode allows our installation team to ensure we have engineer coverage in your area.

Who shall we send the quote to?
After reviewing your information, a member of our team will shortly be in touch to confirm your quote.
Please be aware that from these basic questions, we will be able to tell if your installation will be standard, but we will require you to complete a more detailed survey for the mandatory Distribution Network Operator (DNO) notification application further in the process.
During this, we may find additional factors, such as a lack of earth or water bonding, that will need to be addressed before we can complete a compliant and safe installation, which may result in additional costs.
It is rare for additional costs to be implemented as the majority of our installations fall within our standard installation package. However, please be aware that while rare, other factors may emerge further down the process.
