Reading EV Charger Installers is a dedicated EV charger installation company working with homeowners, landlords, businesses and property managers in and around Reading. Electric car charging is all we do, so every job gets the right charger, a sensible position and a properly planned circuit.
Much of our work is fitting smart home wallboxes on driveways and garages, from Caversham and Tilehurst to Earley and Woodley. We also install workplace and commercial EV charging for offices, staff car parks, business premises and small fleets.
We check your electrical supply, fuse board, parking space and cable route before suggesting a charger. That means your quote reflects the actual job, and your EV charger installation in Reading is tidy and fit for years of daily use.
For homeowners
Home EV Charger Installation Reading
You can top up an electric car from a three-pin plug, but it is slow and puts a long, heavy load on an ordinary socket. A dedicated home EV charger has its own protected circuit, charges much faster and lets you control when charging happens.
Most Reading homes have a single-phase supply, which normally suits a 7kW wallbox. Before we fit one, we check your supply, fuse board and earthing, plan the cable route and position the charger so the cable reaches your car's charging port easily.

Workplace EV Charger Installation Reading
Reading has a large office and business-park economy, and more employees and visitors now arrive in electric cars. We install charging points for offices, staff and visitor parking, commercial premises, fleets, landlords and managed sites, designed around the number of drivers, the available supply and how access will be controlled.
Business sites are usually assessed in person before we recommend equipment and quote.

Buying advice
Which EV Charger Is Right for Your Home?
The best charger for one household is not always right for the next. These are the points we go through with customers before recommending a model.
Vehicle compatibility
Nearly every EV sold in the UK now uses a Type 2 connector. We also look at your car's onboard charging and where its port is.
Tethered vs untethered
A fixed cable is quicker to use day to day; a socket keeps the wall tidier and suits different cars.
Appearance
Worth thinking about if the charger will be on the front of the house, especially on older properties.
Smart charging & apps
Each brand's app handles scheduling, energy tracking and tariff features a little differently.
Solar integration
Certain chargers can divert spare solar power into your car if you have, or are planning, solar panels.
Supply & future vehicles
Your supply, the cable length you need, the charger position and your next car all play a part.
Remote or on-site survey
Arrange Your EV Charger Installation Survey
For a lot of homes, some clear photos and a few details are all we need to assess the job remotely. If the cable route, electrical supply or layout of the property needs a closer look, we arrange a visit instead.

EV Charger Installation FAQs
It depends on the charger you choose and the work your property needs — mainly the distance from your fuse board to the charger, whether the cable goes through walls or underground, and whether the consumer unit or earthing needs attention. We would rather look at your property than give a figure that may not fit, so we assess it first and then send a clear quote. Our EV charger installation cost page explains the main factors.
A straightforward home installation is normally finished in one visit. Long cable runs, groundworks or electrical upgrades can add time, and we will tell you what to expect once we have assessed your property.
Most UK homes have a single-phase supply, and 7kW is the usual maximum for home charging on that type of supply. Whether it suits your house depends on your supply and how much power you already use, which we check during the survey. Load management can be fitted where it is needed.
Not necessarily. Many fuse boards can take an EV charger circuit, but older boards, or boards with no spare space, may need changes. Photos of your consumer unit let us check this before we quote.
Usually on an outside wall of the house or garage, or on a post near where you park. The best spot balances how far the cable needs to reach your car, a sensible route from the fuse board and how the charger will look.
Yes. Some chargers, such as the myenergi zappi, have modes that use spare solar generation. Other smart chargers can be scheduled to run while your panels are producing. We can advise what suits your existing or planned solar system.
A tethered charger has a cable permanently attached, so you just plug it into the car. An untethered charger has a socket and you use your own cable. Tethered is quicker day to day; untethered looks neater and is more flexible if you change cars.
Yes. We install charging for offices, business premises, staff and visitor parking and small fleets in Reading and the surrounding area. Business sites vary, so we usually carry out a site assessment first.
We cover Reading and nearby areas including Caversham, Tilehurst, Earley, Lower Earley, Woodley, Calcot, Purley on Thames, Sonning, Winnersh, Shinfield, Spencers Wood, Theale, Pangbourne, Twyford and Wargrave. If you are not sure, send your postcode with your enquiry.
Fill in the survey form with your car and postcode. We will tell you which photos to send — normally your meter, fuse board, preferred charger position, parking space and likely cable route. If the property needs a closer look, we arrange a visit.
Reading EV Charger Installers fits home, workplace and commercial EV chargers across Reading and the surrounding area. You can request a quote or survey through our contact page.
In most cases, yes, as long as you have somewhere to park off the road and a suitable electrical supply. We check your supply, fuse board and parking during the survey before recommending a charger.
For a home charger, you normally need a driveway, garage or other private parking space, because running a charging cable across a public pavement is not generally a safe or acceptable option. If you are unsure whether your parking is suitable, send us a photo.
