Home EV Charger Installation
A properly installed home charger means faster, safer charging without relying on public chargepoints. Element assesses your property's electrical supply and fits the right charger for your home — across Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, York, Skipton, Bradford and Leeds.
Charge Faster, at Home
A home EV charger delivers a full charge in a fraction of the time a standard 3-pin plug takes, and means you're not planning journeys around public chargepoint availability. Getting it installed properly means assessing your property's existing electrical supply and consumer unit, choosing a charger that suits how you actually use your car, and making sure the installation is certified to the required electrical safety standard.
Is a Home Charger Right for You?
- You own or are getting an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle
- You're relying on public chargepoints and want the convenience of charging at home
- You have off-street parking — a driveway or private space where a charger can be fitted
- You want smart features like solar diversion or off-peak tariff scheduling
- You're planning ahead for an EV purchase and want the charger ready in advance

A Real Harrogate EV Charger Job
A Harrogate customer had just bought a new electric vehicle and lived on a new-build estate — the only house there without a charger, after 6 months stuck in an unresolved dispute with the developer. He called us directly, and we supplied, fitted and commissioned his charger within 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does installation take?
Most EV charger installations are completed within a day, depending on the distance from your consumer unit and any additional electrical work needed.
Which charger should I choose?
This depends on how you use your car, whether you have solar panels, and whether you're on an EV-specific energy tariff — we'll talk you through the options that suit your situation during your quote.
Do I need a new consumer unit to have a charger installed?
Not necessarily — this depends on the condition and capacity of your existing consumer unit, which we'll assess during the survey.
