What to Expect

Here is what happens when you book ev charger installation through GeraHome:

Duration

Standard EV charger installation takes 2–4 hours.

Power

7kW home charger adds approximately 25–30 miles of range per hour of charging.

Smart features

Schedule charging during off-peak hours (e.g., Octopus Go tariff at 7.5p/kWh) to halve charging costs.

Tips for Getting the Best EV Charger Installation Service

Combine with an Octopus Go or similar off-peak EV tariff for cheapest charging

A Zappi charger lets you charge from solar — great if you have or plan solar panels

7kW is the right size for home charging — faster chargers do not benefit overnight charging

Apply for the OZEV grant before installation — you cannot claim retrospectively
