EV Charging

EV chargers and charging accessories

Home and workplace EV charging pairs naturally with solar — a charger that tracks surplus generation lets an electric car soak up energy that would otherwise be exported for pennies. We stock 7kW single-phase and higher-output EV charge points, solar-tracking models, charging sockets and installation accessories from established brands, all at trade prices with live UK stock and guest checkout.

Choosing a charge point

A 7kW (32A) unit is the standard for UK single-phase homes, adding roughly 25–30 miles of range per hour and fully charging most EVs overnight. Three-phase premises can specify 11kW or 22kW units where the vehicle's on-board charger supports it. Solar-aware chargers modulate their output to match export, so the car charges predominantly on self-generated energy — a feature worth prioritising on any property with an array. Tethered units with an integrated cable are the convenient everyday choice; untethered socket units accept any cable type and present a tidier facade.

Regulations and installation

UK-installed domestic charge points must comply with the Smart Charge Points Regulations, including default off-peak scheduling and randomised delay functions, and installations must meet BS 7671 requirements for EV supply equipment including appropriate earthing arrangements and protective devices — many modern units integrate open-PEN protection to avoid a separate earth electrode. Installation is a job for a qualified electrician, and where the charger interacts with a solar or storage system, confirming ecosystem compatibility with the inverter brand keeps monitoring and control in one app.

Trade supply for installers

Installers fitting charge points alongside solar can pick up the full job from one order — charger, cable, isolation, and the PV kit itself — with live stock visibility and tracked delivery from our UK warehouse. Datasheets and installation manuals are linked on every product page.

Load management and future-proofing

Modern charge points include dynamic load management, monitoring the property's total demand through a CT clamp and throttling the charger to protect the main fuse — essential on homes with heat pumps, showers and cooking loads sharing a supply. If a second EV is likely, some units support paired load-sharing on one circuit, worth specifying at first installation while the electrician is on site. OCPP support is worth looking for on workplace units, keeping back-office and payment options open rather than locked to one vendor's platform. These features cost little at purchase and are considerably more expensive to add later.
