EV Charger Installation
[ OVERVIEW ]Charging your electric vehicle at home should be safe, convenient and built to last. BDS Electrical installs home EV charging points across the West Midlands, helping you choose the right setup and completing the installation neatly, with testing and certification where required.
A dedicated EV charger is designed to deliver consistent charging and provide a safer solution than relying on a standard 3 pin socket for regular use. We will guide you through charger options, placement, and what your existing electrical supply can support, so you get the right solution for your home and vehicle.
Home EV charging, made simple
What we install
We can install home EV chargers for a wide range of vehicles and charging requirements. Installations can be planned for:
Driveways and private parking spaces
Garages and car ports
Side access and front of house locations
Short cable runs or more complex routing, where suitable
If you already have a charger in mind, we can advise on whether it is suitable for your property and how best to install it.
Do you need any upgrades first?
In some homes, an EV charger installation may require additional work. This might include:
Upgrading the consumer unit if it is outdated
Adding suitable circuit protection where required
Improving earthing or bonding if needed
Adjustments to support the location and cable routing
If anything extra is required, we will explain it clearly and provide a straightforward quote before any work starts.
