Home charging transforms electric vehicle ownership from occasional inconvenience into effortless daily routine. Plug in when you arrive home, wake to a full battery every morning—no range anxiety, no public charger queues, no wasted time waiting during busy days. Modern home chargers deliver 7kW charging as standard, adding approximately 30 miles of range per hour and fully charging most vehicles overnight with ease. We install chargers in driveways, garages, carports, and dedicated parking spaces across Chelmsford, positioning units for convenient cable reach while maintaining clean, uncluttered appearances. Smart features allow charging during off-peak electricity periods, reducing running costs significantly while you sleep. Properties across Springfield, Moulsham, and Writtle benefit from home charging installations making EV ownership genuinely practical for daily life.
Smart chargers deliver more than simple electricity—they provide intelligent charging optimising costs, convenience, and energy management throughout ownership. Smartphone apps allow remote monitoring, charging scheduling, and session management from anywhere. Set your charger to activate during off-peak electricity periods when rates drop lowest, potentially halving charging costs compared to daytime rates. Some smart chargers integrate with home solar installations, prioritising free solar energy when available before drawing from the grid. Load management features prevent overloading your home’s electrical supply by reducing charging speed when other high-demand appliances operate simultaneously. Future vehicle-to-grid capabilities may allow selling stored energy back during peak demand periods. Properties across Great Baddow, Galleywood, and Danbury increasingly choose smart chargers for the ongoing savings and enhanced control they provide.

Employees charging during working hours arrive home with full batteries, extending effective range without home charging requirements.

We install single chargers for small businesses and comprehensive multi-point schemes for larger organisations across Chelmsford.

Usage monitoring and billing integration allow cost recovery where required. Businesses across Broomfield, Chelmer Village, and the Chelmsford business parks trust us for workplace charging solutions meeting their specific operational requirements.nd reduce running costs.
While standard 7kW home chargers suit overnight charging perfectly, some situations demand faster solutions delivering quicker turnaround times. Fast chargers delivering 11kW or 22kW suit properties with three-phase electrical supplies, reducing charging times significantly for drivers needing quicker replenishment between journeys. Commercial premises, fleet operations, and destination venues benefit from faster charging keeping vehicles moving rather than waiting. We assess your electrical supply capacity, recommend appropriate charging speeds achievable without major infrastructure upgrades, and install chargers matched to your requirements throughout. Three-phase supply installation or upgrades may enable faster charging where single-phase limitations currently apply. Properties across Stock, Sandon, and surrounding Essex villages with appropriate electrical infrastructure suit faster charging installations.
EV charger installation requires specific competencies beyond standard electrical qualifications. We hold certification from major charger manufacturers including Easee, Ohme, Hypervolt, and others, ensuring installations meet both electrical regulations and manufacturer requirements for warranty validity throughout. Our OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) certification previously enabled grant processing—while government grants for home chargers have ended, our certification demonstrates the competence and training these schemes required.
Every installation receives proper certification documenting compliance with current regulations. We notify Building Control as required for notifiable work, providing the documentation you need for insurance purposes, future property sales, and warranty claims. Inadequate installations by unqualified installers risk vehicle damage, electrical faults, and invalidated warranties—problems proper professional installation prevents entirely.
We’ve installed EV chargers across Chelmsford since electric vehicles first entered mainstream adoption, understanding the particular requirements Essex properties present. Older homes may need supply upgrades or consumer unit replacement before charger installation proceeds. Properties without off-street parking require alternative solutions we can advise upon.

Installing a home EV charger makes charging your electric vehicle safer, faster and more convenient. At Chelmsford Electricians, we install professionally approved EV chargers designed to suit modern homes and vehicles.
We begin by assessing your existing electrical supply, consumer unit and parking setup. This ensures the charger is installed safely, complies with current regulations and performs reliably. We also install smart chargers, allowing you to schedule charging during off-peak hours and monitor usage via mobile apps.
Older properties often have wiring systems that are no longer suitable for modern electrical use. Rewiring improves safety, reliability and capacity, particularly when renovating or extending a home.
We carry out full and partial rewires, carefully planned to minimise disruption. This includes replacing outdated wiring, upgrading sockets and switches, and ensuring compliance with current standards.
A properly rewired home provides peace of mind and supports future electrical upgrades.
