Make EV charging part of your everyday routine
A dedicated EV chargepoint can provide a convenient way to recharge your vehicle where you park.
Hinter Electrics provides EV chargepoint installation for homeowners, landlords and businesses, with the installation designed around the property, parking location and existing electrical installation.
Before installation, the electrical supply and proposed chargepoint location should be assessed so that the installation can be designed appropriately.
Discuss Your InstallationThe right charger is only part of the solution
A good EV installation considers the chargepoint, electrical supply, protective equipment, cable route, parking arrangement and how you are likely to use the vehicle.
That’s why we start by understanding the property and your charging requirements before recommending an installation approach.

More than simply plugging in
Many modern EV chargepoints offer connected and smart charging features. The right solution depends on the charger selected, vehicle and your electrical setup.
If you already have solar panels or battery storage, we can also consider how EV charging fits into the wider electrical system.
Discuss Smart ChargingYour EV charger needs the right electrical installation
Installing an EV chargepoint is electrical work. The existing installation and proposed charging circuit should be assessed before installation.
Depending on the property, this may involve considering the consumer unit, available supply capacity, cable route, protective devices, earthing arrangements and the selected chargepoint.
If the existing installation requires improvement before the chargepoint can safely be installed, this should be identified before work proceeds.
We consider the installation as a whole
- Existing consumer unit
- Electrical supply
- Cable route
- Protective equipment
- Earthing arrangements
- Charger location
- Testing and commissioning
Cable routing matters
The distance between your electrical equipment and parking space can significantly affect the installation. We consider practical cable routes before work begins.
Short Domestic Routes
Where the consumer unit and parking space are close together, installation may be relatively straightforward.
Longer Cable Runs
Detached garages, rear parking and longer distances may require additional planning and installation work.
External Routes
External cable routes need to be planned with the property, environment and physical protection of the installation in mind.
Garages
A garage can provide a convenient charging location where the electrical route and installation arrangement are suitable.
Driveways
Driveway installations are planned around where the vehicle is parked and how the charging cable will be used.
Multiple Parking Spaces
Commercial and multi-space installations require additional consideration for distribution, capacity and future expansion.

Check Government Grant GuidanceGrant eligibility depends on your property, circumstances, parking arrangement and the specific grant scheme.
