EV charging — the range
Every charger here is a 7.4 kW smart unit — roughly 25–30 miles of range per hour. The differences that matter are what they're clever about: your solar, your tariff, or the way they look on the front of your house.
myenergi
The solar king — British-made, and the charger that made charging your car from your own roof mainstream.
Any home with solar panels, or planning them — surplus generation goes into the car instead of the grid, and the myenergi ecosystem grows into batteries and diverters.
Ohme
The tariff genius — it watches electricity prices and charges when your tariff is cheapest, automatically.
Time-of-use tariff households — set the miles you need by morning and it finds the cheapest half-hours overnight to deliver them.
Hypervolt
The design-led Brit — a clean, compact unit with an LED halo, engineered and supported in the UK.
Front-of-house installs where the charger will be seen — smart, solar-capable and tidy on the wall without the utility-box look.
Andersen
The premium one — a British-built charger designed like furniture, with the cable hidden inside the cabinet.
Design-led homes and period frontages — the only charger here you'd choose for how it looks as much as what it does.
All figures are manufacturer-published. 7.4 kW is the practical maximum on a standard UK single-phase supply — roughly 25–30 miles of range per hour, which fills almost any EV overnight. Every install includes the supply check, a dedicated protected circuit and app setup before we leave.
The charger is the visible part. Underneath it we check your supply has the headroom, run a dedicated protected circuit, and fit the unit where the cable actually reaches your parking spot — not just where the wall was convenient.
Then the part most installers skip: the setup. Solar priority if you have panels, off-peak scheduling if you have a smart tariff, and the app on your phone working before we leave. If you have solar or plan it, the charger choice changes — which is exactly the kind of thing the survey is for.

Tethered (built-in cable) is more convenient day to day; untethered (socket only) is tidier and works with any cable. We fit either.
Yes — a solar-aware charger watches your export and tops the car up with surplus generation first, grid second. It's the zappi's party trick, and others do it too.
Sometimes older boards need a small upgrade for the dedicated circuit — we confirm that at the supply check before quoting, so there are no surprises.
