What Colchester Homeowners Say About Our EV Charger Installation Specialists

★★★★★ 4.8 / 5
★★★★★

7kW charger installed on the side wall of our house in just 3 hours. NICEIC-registered installer handled the DNO notification beforehand. £880 fitted including a 12m cable run. Smart-tariff capable - we're saving £40+/month overnight charging.

EV Charger Installation
★★★★★

Solar-linked smart charger setup with our existing 4kW PV. £1,650 fitted. The diversion logic works flawlessly - we now charge our EV almost entirely from surplus solar in summer. The installer talked us through the app properly.

Kate P.

EV Charger Installation
★★★★☆

Tethered 7kW charger on the driveway - exactly what we needed. £750 fitted, took half a day. Existing consumer unit just had spare RCBO capacity which kept costs down. Would absolutely use BestBuilders again.
