Home EV charge point installation
Easily charge at home
Local, fully accredited installer you can trust
Save ~90% on electricity costs compared to public charging
Public charging costs around 60p/kWh vs as low as 7p/kWh at home.
We’ll help you set up your EV charger to maximise your energy savings using Octopus Intelligent Go, which offers electricity at just 7p per kWh for 6 hours overnight. This allows you to fully charge your EV, top up your home battery, and run any other appliances at the lowest possible rate.
Instead of using solar or battery power to charge your EV, most of our customers find it more cost-effective to take advantage of this cheap night-time energy. By doing so, you can store solar energy during the day and sell it back to the grid at 15p per kWh, effectively buying low at 7p and selling high at 15p.
This approach ensures you're getting the best return on your energy—charging your EV and home battery at the cheapest rates while exporting surplus solar energy when it’s worth the most.
Solar panels and a home battery can further enhance the savings you achieve with your EV charger. By generating your own electricity during the day and storing it in a battery, you can use free solar energy to power your home or charge your EV later when grid prices are higher. This allows you to rely less on the grid and make the most of your own renewable energy.
Even if you don’t have solar panels installed, a battery still offers significant benefits. It allows you to charge up with cheaper night-time electricity and use that stored energy during the day, helping to keep your overall energy costs low. This means you’re always getting the best value out of your EV charger setup.
By integrating solar, a battery, and your EV charger, you’ll maximise your energy savings, avoid paying peak prices, and have the flexibility to export any extra power at a higher rate, creating a cost-effective and sustainable energy system.
There are a few different types of EV chargers to be aware of. Below is a brief breakdown but feel free to get in touch and we'll guide you through the process!
