Extras & when they apply

If your property needs more than the standard scope, we’ll flag it clearly and price it before work starts — no hidden surprises. Photos or a quick video of your consumer unit, proposed charger location and cable route help us quote accurately first time.

Common extras

  • Cable distance over 5m or non-standard routing (loft, garage, outbuilding, garden runs)
  • Additional drilling, ducting or minor groundworks to reach the parking spot
  • Consumer unit changes (no spare ways, SPD requirement, specific RCD/RCBO types)
  • 4G connectivity kit where driveway Wi-Fi is weak
  • Pedestal/mounting post where a wall mount isn’t suitable

Situations that usually need a chat first

  • Three-phase supplies or planned upgrades
  • Leasehold/landlord permissions (flats/managed estates) or shared/remote parking bays
  • Long external runs requiring SWA/trenching

Smart charging & off-peak tariffs

Smart charging saves money by shifting most charging into cheaper night windows and avoiding the early-evening peak. We’ll pair your app properly, set schedules, and configure sensible limits so the charger plays nicely with the rest of your home.

  • App pairing & account linking (Ohme, Easee, Hypervolt, Zappi)
  • Schedule setup for Intelligent/Go-style tariffs, with charge caps and departure options
  • Load settings to protect your main fuse and avoid nuisance trips
  • Connectivity check and options for a 4G kit if driveway Wi-Fi is unreliable (extra)

  • Ohme, Easee & Hypervolt — excellent with time-of-use tariffs and usage insights
  • Battery coordination so EV charging doesn’t fight your storage system

FAQs — quick answers

What counts as a standard install in Milton Keynes (and why is 5m included)?

Our standard install includes a neat surface-mounted run up to 5 metres from your consumer unit to the charger, one masonry penetration, mounting, commissioning, app setup and safety checks. Beyond 5m or more complex routing is priced as an extra so you only pay for what you need.

Flats/leasehold or managed estates — what permissions do I need?

If you rent or are leasehold, you’ll usually need written permission from the freeholder or management company. We’ll outline what they typically ask for (method statement, product spec, cable routes) and help with DNO notification where required.

Terraced/on-street — can I use a pavement cable channel in MK?

Milton Keynes has pathways for cross-pavement cable channels in certain circumstances, but they require permissions and suitability checks. We’ll explain the options neutrally and point you to the correct process. Where a channel isn’t appropriate, we’ll discuss alternatives such as nearby public charging or different charger placement.

How long does installation take on the day?

Most straightforward installs take 2–4 hours. Longer runs, board upgrades or groundworks can extend this — we’ll confirm timings in advance so you can plan your day.

Do you set up Octopus Intelligent/Go for me?

Yes — we’ll pair the charger, build overnight schedules and show you how to target the cheap window without over-charging. Where supported we’ll also set charge caps and departure times.

How do you handle load balancing and PEN fault protection?

We install in line with UK Smart Charging Regulations, using built-in or external load management and ensuring PEN fault protection. We test and document the installation at handover for your records.

Tethered vs untethered — which suits MK homes?

Tethered keeps the cable ready on the wall (grab-and-go). Untethered looks cleaner and uses a separate lead from the boot. The right choice depends on driveway layout, visibility from the street and how often you charge.

What if Wi-Fi is weak on my driveway?

We’ll try optimal placement and pairing first. If signal remains unreliable, a 4G connectivity kit (extra) keeps your charger smart for tariffs, updates and remote support.

Do I need 22kW three-phase at home?

Most UK homes are single-phase and charge at up to 7.4kW, which is ideal for overnight top-ups. If you already have three-phase (or plan to add it), we’ll recommend suitable hardware and settings.
