Home EV chargers typically provide 7kW of power, which can fully charge most electric vehicles in 4-8 hours, depending on the battery size. Some chargers offer 22kW for even faster charging if your electrical supply supports it.
What is an EV Home Charger?
Charge Your Electric Vehicle at Home
A home EV charger allows you to charge your electric vehicle safely and efficiently at home, eliminating the need to rely solely on public charging stations. Home chargers are faster than standard 3-pin plug charging and provide a convenient, cost-effective way to keep your EV powered up.
With the government's Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) offering grants of up to £350, installing a home EV charger has never been more affordable. Heataero's expert team can help you choose the right charger for your needs and handle the entire installation process.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I charge my EV with a home charger?
Do I need off-street parking for an EV charger?
Yes, to qualify for the government grant and for safe installation, you need off-street parking such as a driveway or garage. The charger cable must not cross public footpaths or roads.
How much can I save with the OZEV grant?
The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) provides grants of up to £350 (or 75% of the installation cost, whichever is lower) towards the cost of installing a home EV charger. This can significantly reduce the upfront cost.
How long does installation take?
Typically, an EV charger installation takes 3-4 hours, depending on the complexity of your electrical setup and the location of the charger. Our engineers will complete the installation in a single visit.
Do I need planning permission for an EV charger?
In most cases, no planning permission is required for EV charger installation, especially if it's on your own property. However, there may be restrictions for listed buildings or properties in conservation areas. We can advise you on this during your consultation.
Can I use my EV charger with solar panels?
Yes, many modern EV chargers can integrate with solar panel systems, allowing you to charge your vehicle using free solar energy. Smart chargers can automatically prioritize solar energy when available.
What maintenance does an EV charger require?
EV chargers require minimal maintenance. Regular visual inspections and keeping the charging port clean are usually sufficient. Most chargers come with warranty and support, and we provide aftercare services if needed.
How much will I save on charging costs?
Charging at home is typically 50-70% cheaper than using public charging stations. With off-peak electricity rates, you can charge your EV for as little as 2-3p per mile, compared to 8-12p per mile at public rapid chargers.
