    Home EV Charger

    At a glance

    Having a home EV charger is more convenient and cost-effective than relying on public charging. You can charge overnight using cheaper electricity rates and always start the day with a full battery.

    Yes. Devon has a growing number of EV drivers and limited rural charging points. Installing a home charger ensures reliable access to power, especially in areas where public chargers may be sparse.

    Typical installation costs range from £800 to £1,200, depending on the charger type and your property’s wiring. Government grants or energy supplier discounts may also reduce the price.

    With electric vehicle (EV) ownership on the rise, more homeowners are starting to realise the benefits of installing a dedicated EV charger at home. Charging your car at home is one of the simplest ways to make EV ownership more convenient, efficient and affordable.

    At Max Solar & Electrical, we help customers in Tiverton, Taunton, Exeter and across Devon make smart energy choices, and installing a home EV charger is one of the most worthwhile upgrades you can make. Here’s why it makes so much sense.

    • Charge Your Car While You Sleep
      One of the biggest advantages of having your own EV charger is convenience. Rather than relying on public charging points which may be busy or located out of your way—you can simply plug in at home and charge your vehicle overnight. Your car is ready to go in the morning, fully charged without any hassle. This level of convenience means your EV fits naturally into your daily routine, just like charging your phone. No more detours to petrol stations or waiting in queues at supermarket chargers.
    • Save Money on Every Mile
      Charging at home is usually much cheaper than using public chargers. Especially when you take advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs, your cost per mile can be significantly reduced. Some energy suppliers now offer EV-specific tariffs, allowing you to charge at night at a lower rate—making your running costs even more economical.
      Pair your EV charger with a solar panel system and the savings go even further. You can charge your car using free, clean energy from the sun and make full use of your renewable setup.
    • Increase Your Property’s Value
      As EVs become more common, having an electric vehicle charging point at home is quickly turning into a desirable feature for buyers. If you plan to sell your property in the future, a home EV charger could help your home stand out, particularly for eco-conscious buyers who already own—or are considering—an electric car.
    • Future-Proof Your Home
      The UK government has committed to phasing out the sale of new petrol and diesel cars. With this shift toward electric driving, installing an EV charger now means you’re prepared for the future. Whether you already own an electric vehicle or plan to make the switch soon, having your charging point in place makes the transition smooth and stress-free.
    • A Greener Way to Travel
      Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, which is a key reason why many people choose to go electric. By installing a home charger, you’re supporting cleaner transport and reducing your reliance on fossil fuels. If you’re also generating your own electricity through solar panels, the environmental benefits are even greater.
