EV charger installation in Sittingbourne
A home charge point is the easiest way to run an electric car. You plug in when you get home and wake up to a full battery, and charging at home is usually cheaper than using public chargers.
A dedicated charge point is also faster and safer than using a standard three pin socket for long periods. MayBird Electrics installs electric vehicle charge points for homes in Sittingbourne and the surrounding area.

Choosing where to put your charge point
A good installation starts with a look at your property: where the car parks, where the consumer unit is, the cable route between the two and whether your electricity supply can cope with the extra load.
Those checks decide where the unit goes and what has to be added to the circuit. We talk them through with you first, so you know what the installation involves before any work starts.
What a home charge point installation involves
The charge point is wired on its own protected circuit from your consumer unit. Depending on the age and condition of your existing consumer unit, it may need protection added or, in some homes, replacing. We check this before we quote.
Once installed, the circuit and charge point are tested and we show you how everything works. Rules and grants for charge points change from time to time, so check the current position before you buy a unit.
What affects the cost of an EV charger installation
The price depends on the charge point you choose, how far it sits from your consumer unit, whether the cable has to run through walls or underground, and whether your consumer unit or supply needs any work. A short cable run on a modern consumer unit is a smaller job than a long run on an older board.
Once we know the details of your property and the charger you want, we explain what is included in the quote so there are no surprises.
