EV Chargers
Stoke-on-Trent.

The OZEV grant provides £350 off the cost of a home EV charger installation in Stoke-on-Trent. To qualify you must be a tenant or landlord (homeowners are no longer eligible for the residential grant), have off-street parking, and have a qualifying electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle. Energy Concerns handles the OZEV grant application on your behalf as part of the installation process.

A 7kW smart home EV charger installed in Stoke-on-Trent typically costs £900–£1,250 including labour, depending on the charger model and your property's cable run requirements. The Hypervolt Home 3 starts from £900 installed and the Zappi V2 from £950 installed. Eligible tenants and landlords can deduct £350 via the OZEV grant.

A standard EV charger installation in Stoke-on-Trent takes half a day — typically 3–4 hours. Our NAPIT-certified electricians complete the full installation including consumer unit connection, trunking, charger mounting, and commissioning in a single visit. We also submit the OZEV grant paperwork on your behalf where applicable.

Solar diversion means your EV charger automatically uses surplus solar electricity to charge your car rather than exporting it to the grid. In Stoke-on-Trent, with approximately 1,360 sunshine hours per year, a 4kW solar system can add 20–40 miles of free driving range on a good day. The Zappi V2's built-in ECO+ mode makes it the UK's best solar-diversion EV charger — ideal for Stoke-on-Trent homes with solar panels.

If you have solar panels, the Zappi V2 is the better choice for Stoke-on-Trent homes — its built-in solar diverter automatically charges your car from surplus solar generation at no extra cost. If you don't have solar panels, both the Hypervolt Home 3 and Zappi V2 offer smart scheduling, app control, and 7kW fast charging. The Hypervolt has a slightly sleeker design and competitive pricing. Energy Concerns recommends the right charger during your free survey.

Switching to overnight charging on a smart tariff such as Octopus Go (from ~7p/kWh) in Stoke-on-Trent can reduce your per-mile charging cost to around 2–3p/mile, compared to 30–50p/mile at a public rapid charger. For a driver covering 10,000 miles per year, that's a saving of £300–£500 annually versus public charging. Your smart EV charger automatically schedules charging during the cheapest overnight window.
