What happens on the day
Most home vehicle charger installations take approximately half a day to complete, running from initial electrical tests through to hardware commissioning and network registration.
- Main supply and earthing assessmentThe visit begins with an inspection of the incoming electricity supply, main service cutout fuse, earthing arrangements and current fuse board to verify adequate capacity for a continuous 32-amp electrical load.
- Running the dedicated supply cableA new heavy-duty power cable runs from the electrical distribution panel to the vehicle charging location. Wiring is secured in heavy-duty conduit or clipped discreetly along skirting boards, floor voids or exterior brickwork.
- Mounting the wall unitThe charging unit fixes firmly to the designated wall surface at a comfortable height for handling the tethered or untethered charging lead, followed by termination of the internal electrical wiring and protective earthing.
- System testing and smart app connectionThe installation is verified using specialised test meters to measure disconnection times and earth loop impedance. The charging point is then linked to your wireless network and paired with the manufacturer mobile application.

WhatsAppHow fast will a 7.4kW home wall charger charge an electric car?
A standard 7.4kW single-phase home charging unit adds approximately 25 to 30 miles of driving range for every hour it is connected. For most modern electric cars with medium-sized battery packs, this allows a full battery replenishment from empty to complete in roughly eight hours overnight.
Can an older fuse board support an electric vehicle charger?
Many existing consumer units have space and spare electrical capacity for a new 32-amp circuit. If your current board is fully occupied or lacks modern safety devices, TMB Electrics can fit a compact secondary consumer unit alongside it purely to power and protect the car charger safely.
Should I choose a tethered or untethered charging unit?
A tethered unit has the charging cable permanently attached to the wall box, which means you simply unwind the lead and plug it straight into the car without opening the car boot. An untethered unit features a universal socket instead, keeping the wall tidy and allowing any charging cable type to plug in.
Do I need permission from the local electricity network operator?
Connecting an electric vehicle charger requires notifying the local distribution network operator so they can manage regional electricity demand. TMB Electrics submits the standard network operator notification paperwork directly following the installation, so you do not need to coordinate with them.
Can an EV charger be installed if I rent my home or own a flat?
Yes, provided you have a designated off-street parking bay and written permission from the property landlord or freeholder. Cabling paths must run across property you own or have legal rights to use, which is checked before any installation commences.
