Expert Electric Vehicle Charge Point Installation | Home, Business & Public Sector Solutions
Applegarth delivers professional EV charger installations for homes, businesses, and public sector organisations across the North West. As OZEV-approved installers, we work with leading manufacturers to provide reliable, future-proof charging solutions.
Our specialist team manages everything – from initial survey through to installation and ongoing maintenance. We install EV charging points in Wirral, Liverpool, Manchester, Cheshire and throughout the North West region, handling projects of all sizes with the same commitment to quality and safety standards.
Making the switch to electric vehicles should be straightforward. We help you select the right charging solution, secure available government grants, and ensure your installation meets all safety regulations and manufacturer specifications. Our extensive experience means we understand exactly what homes and businesses need from their EV charging systems.
Home EV Charging Point Installation
One of the best ways to get the most out of electric vehicle ownership is to transform your driveway or garage into your own personal charging station. We install home charging points designed to match your vehicle and property requirements.
Key Benefits of Home EV Charging:
- Save money compared to public charging stations
- Charge your vehicle overnight at lower electricity rates
- Full charge ready for you every morning
- Faster charging than using a standard plug socket
- Monitor your energy usage through smart features
- Add value to your property
We supply and install the latest charging units from leading manufacturers, with options ranging from simple 3kW systems to rapid 22kW chargers. Most home installations use 7kW charging points – these typically charge your vehicle in 4-6 hours (depending on battery size).
Your charge point will be installed by our qualified electricians, usually within 2-3 hours. We’ll ensure your installation works seamlessly with your home’s electrical system and meets all safety requirements before giving you a complete demonstration and walkthrough.
Commercial & Workplace EV Charging Solutions
Future-proof your business with reliable EV charging solutions for your employees, customers, and fleet vehicles. From single charging points to large-scale installations, we provide tailored systems to meet your business needs.
Your business can benefit from a £350 grant per charging socket through the Workplace Charging Scheme, up to a maximum of 40 charging points across multiple sites. As OZEV-approved installers, we can assist with your grant application and handle the installation process from initial design to final sign-off and handover.
We deliver:
- Fast installation with minimal disruption to your operations

EV Charger Installation FAQs
How long does installation take?
A typical installation takes 2-4 hours for a single charger. Commercial multi-point installations are scheduled according to site requirements, and can be completed in as little as a few days.
What preparation is needed before installation?
We conduct a thorough site survey to assess your electrical capacity and identify the optimal location. Our team handles all necessary preparations, including any electrical upgrades.
How much power do I need?
For residential homes, EV chargers do not require any specialist power supply beyond mains electricity (single-phase). However, most commercial chargers require a three-phase power supply. We’ll assess your property’s electrical capacity during the survey and recommend appropriate solutions.
Can I claim the Workplace Charging Scheme grant?
Yes, if you’re a business, charity, or public sector organisation with dedicated off-street parking. The scheme offers £350 per socket for up to 40 charging points.
What types of chargers do you install?
We install a range of residential and commercial-grade chargers from leading manufacturers, available in various power outputs (3.7 kW-22kW+) and socket configurations.
Do you provide maintenance services?
Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance packages, including regular checks, software updates, and emergency callout services.
What warranty is provided?
Our installations come with comprehensive product warranties, typically 3-5 years depending on the manufacturer and model.
