EV charger installation in Solihull
Charging an electric car from a proper wall unit is faster and safer than a three-pin plug. DGC Electrical installs home and workplace EV charge points across Solihull, with a load assessment, the correct dedicated circuit and protection, and full certification.
Why it matters
Why use a dedicated EV charge point
A dedicated charge point is designed for the job of charging a car, something a standard three-pin socket was never intended to do for hours at a time, night after night. A wall unit on its own circuit charges more quickly and is built to handle that sustained load safely.
Installed properly, a charge point gives you a reliable, weatherproof way to top up at home or at work, with the protection an EV circuit needs built in from the start.
- Faster charging than a standard socket
- A dedicated circuit sized for the load
- The right RCD/protection for EV charging
- Safer for regular, overnight charging
- Tidy, weatherproof outdoor installation
- Installed by an approved electrician
What's involved in an installation
Every installation starts with a look at what you already have. We check your incoming supply and consumer unit, then run a dedicated circuit to a charge point mounted where it suits how you park.
- An assessment of your incoming supply and existing board
- A dedicated circuit from the consumer unit
- The charge point mounted where it suits your parking
- Correct protection and, where needed, load management
- Testing and certification

Many homes are straightforward, but older boards or long cable runs can add work, we tell you before starting, so there are no surprises once we're on site.
