There are no installers in my area, can I arrange my own and will this affect the warranty?

Yes. You can arrange your own installer for a Simpson & Partners Home Series charger. Any qualified electrician can carry out the installation, and this will not affect the warranty as long as installation meets the guidelines and is done by a qualified professional.

Why is standard installation from £425 excluding VAT?

Every installation is different and costs vary. The 'from' price provides a rough indication of what to expect to pay, giving transparency while accounting for variables like site conditions and installer requirements.

Can I get an installation quote before ordering?

Yes. To get an accurate quote, select a local installer and enter your details to begin the survey process. Trusted installers will review the information and provide a quote for approval.

Can I use my own installer?

Yes. Any qualified electrician can install Simpson & Partners products. Sharing installer guides with your electrician ahead of time is recommended for the best outcome.

Start charging with confidence

Standard installation

Standard installation* is considered installation of one Home Series Wall mount 7kW charger. It also includes a pre-installation survey online, by video, or in person (if you are unable to send digital photos), a cable run of up to 10m, drilling through one wall where the incoming supply is on the internal surface of an external wall, a new consumer unit, all electrical certifications and Building Control notification, DNO application/ notification as relevant. It doesn't include working at height, or trenching the cable into the ground (or hanging above it), running a cable under floorboards or through ducting / ceiling voids/ wall voids without a draw cord (to pull the cable through), or if the floorboards have not been lifted.
‍
Non-Standard installation** will typically include higher costs for materials and labour. For example, trenching into the ground, a longer cable run over 10 metres, installing a Home Series Wall mount 22kW charger (the cables are more expensive than 7kW models), or Home Series Freestanding and Business Series (all models).

Are Simpson & Partners chargers suitable for listed or historic buildings?

Homeowners that live in listed buildings (grade 1 or 2) or in conservation areas often chose our chargers due to their elegant design, discreet installation finish and customisable finishes. We are happy to help put together plans and image packs to present to your relevant authorities or heritage organisation panels to win their permission and gain approval. Our wall mount chargers are very small and slim. They come in metal (not plastic) with an option for wood lids and a carefully curated colour selection. Our integrated freestanding posts are also very discreet and help the charger blend seamlessly into environments where the final appearance is important.

What information do I need to provide in the survey?

Installers typically ask for photos of where you want to put your charger (it could be in two places if you can't decide), a clear close up photo of your consumer unit with the lid open so they can see the switches and numbers on it), a photo of your fuse box (so they can see what power supply you have) and a rough distance in metres between the consumer unit and where you want to put your charger. Lastly they will want to know the model of charger - is it a wall mount 7kW or 22kW or a freestanding pedestal etc... A good electrician will help you decide whether you need wireless energy manager and provide advice on where best to install your charger.

Do Simpson & Partners offer modular and upgradable EV charging solutions for businesses?

Yes. Simpson & Partners provides modular, upgradable EV charging solutions designed for AC commercial use: Our Business Series includes 7kW-22kW wall‑mount and freestanding models, built for scalability and demanding use. Features such as user access control, MID‑certified metering and OCPP compatibility ensure the chargers can expand and integrate with your business infrastructure. Our hardware architecture supports future upgrades. For example, add‑on modules for features like V2G (vehicle‑to‑grid) and dynamic load balancing. Everything is designed and engineered for long‑term use: robust enclosures, British engineering and software built in‑house.

What is the difference between single-phase and three-phase power?

Single-phase power is the standard electricity supply for most UK homes — around 85% of domestic properties use it. It delivers electricity through one live wire and is protected by a single fuse (typically rated at 60, 80, or 100 amps). With single-phase, the maximum charging rate for an EV charger is usually 7.3kW, which is ideal for overnight charging and suits most households. Three-phase power, on the other hand, is more common in commercial buildings or larger homes. It uses three live wires, allowing electricity to flow more efficiently and at higher capacity. If your property has a three-phase supply, you can install a charger capable of delivering up to 22kW —useful for larger battery EVs or homes with multiple electric vehicles needing faster turnaround. In short: • Single-phase = up to 7.3kW charging, standard for most homes • Three-phase = up to 22kW charging, suited for high-demand setups, commercial car parks, multi-dwelling residences.
