EV Chargers

Zappi, Ohme, Tesla Wall Connector and Andersen, OZEV-approved, smart-tariff ready, solar-diversion enabled.

What we do

Whether you're pairing an EV charger with an existing solar system or installing the charger first, we fit it properly: correct earth arrangement for your supply type, Type A RCD, load management if your supply can't take an unrestricted 7kW, and smart tariff commissioning on the day.

  • Zappi 2, solar-diversion-friendly, the enthusiast's choice.
  • Ohme, tariff-native, great with Octopus Intelligent.
  • Tesla Wall Connector, clean finish, fastest charging for Teslas.
  • Andersen A2, design-led housing for visible installations.
  • Load management via CT clamp where supply capacity is a constraint.
  • Cable routes hidden through walls and garages wherever possible.

EV charging inside a renewables stack

Installed on its own, an EV charger is just another appliance. Installed alongside solar and a battery, it becomes the biggest load in the house, and the one where tariff optimisation pays back fastest. A full renewables stack means your car charges from solar surplus in summer, from cheap off-peak grid in winter, and almost never from peak-rate grid at all.

Solar diversion is the trick that makes this work in summer. Your inverter monitors the house consumption; whatever you'd otherwise export to the grid at a low export tariff, the charger soaks up instead, adding free kilometres to the car. Zappi is the canonical solar-diversion charger; recent Ohme and Andersen units do it too.

In winter, solar diversion does nothing, there's no surplus to divert. That's where tariff-native chargers earn their place. Ohme paired with Octopus Intelligent will charge your car in the cheapest half-hour slots automatically, whether those slots fall at 2am, 4am or 11pm. You set the target state of charge and the departure time; the charger and tariff negotiate the rest.
