Smart EV charger installation in Lees
- 01
What makes a charger smart
A smart charger connects to the internet, so you can start, stop and schedule charging from an app. It records how much energy each charge uses. Since 2022, new home and workplace chargers sold in Great Britain must have smart functions, including off-peak default settings.

Linking to your energy tariff
Some energy suppliers can control compatible smart chargers directly, charging your car when electricity is cheapest or greenest. Others rely on a schedule you set. If you're on or thinking about an EV tariff, tell us, and we'll check the charger works with it.

Getting a good connection
A smart charger needs a steady data connection to work properly. Wi-Fi often doesn't reach a driveway well. We check the signal at the charger's position and can use a Wi-Fi extender, a wired data cable or a mobile signal model if needed.
What to expect from a smart EV charger installation
We start by checking your supply, consumer unit and the Wi-Fi signal where the charger will go. We ask about your car and energy tariff so we can recommend a compatible charger. Then you get a free quote covering the charger, the circuit and any connection work.
On the day, we install the charger and its circuit, test everything and connect the charger to your network. We set up the app on your phone, link it to your tariff if possible and set a charging schedule with you. You get a certificate, and we notify the network operator.

Smart EV charger installation questions
Do I need a smart EV charger for my home in Lees?
If you're having a new home charger fitted, it will need to be a smart one, as non-smart chargers can no longer be sold for home use in Great Britain. Smart chargers also make it easy to charge on cheaper off-peak electricity, which can lower your running costs.
What if my Wi-Fi doesn't reach the drive in Lees?
We check the signal during the survey. If it's weak, options include a Wi-Fi extender, running a data cable to the charger or choosing a model with a built-in mobile connection. The charger will still charge without a connection, but you lose the smart features.
Can a smart charger work with my energy supplier's EV tariff?
Many can, but not every charger works with every tariff. Some tariffs control the charger directly, while others just need you to charge during set hours. Tell us your supplier and tariff, and we'll recommend a charger that works with it.
Can I upgrade my old charger to a smart one in Lees?
Yes. If your existing circuit is in good condition and suitable, we can often fit a new smart charger on it. We test the circuit first and tell you if anything needs upgrading. We also remove and dispose of the old charger for you.
