Switching to an electric vehicle is a big step — and having the right charger at home makes all the difference. Enlighten provides safe, reliable and fully compliant home EV charger installations for homeowners across the region.

Whether you need a simple wall-mounted charger or a smart, load-managed system integrated with the rest of your home’s electrical installation, our NAPIT-registered electricians deliver a seamless installation from start to finish.

Why Install a Dedicated Home EV Charger?

✔ Faster Charging

A dedicated home charger provides much quicker charging than a standard 3-pin plug, giving you full, dependable charging overnight.

✔ Safer & Fully Compliant

Domestic EV chargers must be installed and tested to strict electrical safety standards. We ensure your installation meets BS 7671, Part P, the best practice guide and manufacturer requirements.

✔ Smart Energy Management

Modern chargers can schedule charging, integrate with off-peak tariffs, and help reduce running costs — ideal for households with smart meters or solar.

✔ Added Convenience

No more cables through windows or waiting at public chargers. Plug in at home, charge overnight, and drive away with a full battery.
