What happens on the day
A standard home charger fitting is normally completed in half a day, following a structured process from arrival to live demonstration.
- Electrical supply inspectionWork begins by checking the main incoming fuse, meter equipment, earthing bond, and consumer unit to confirm that the existing household electrical system can safely take the added load.
- Running the dedicated supply cableHeavy-duty cable is run from the distribution board to the agreed mounting point. The cable is secured neatly along internal walls, skirting boards, or external brickwork using matched clips or tough conduit.
- Mounting the wall unit and connectionThe wall box is securely bolted into position, wired with appropriate earth leakage and surge protective devices, and connected to the newly laid dedicated circuit.
- System testing and mobile pairingThe entire circuit is tested using calibrated instruments. The unit is then powered up, paired with your home Wi-Fi network, and set up on your smartphone app ready for your first charge.

WhatsAppCan my existing fuse board handle an EV charger?
Most consumer units can accommodate an EV charger provided there is an available circuit way and sufficient capacity on the main electrical intake. If your current board is fully occupied or lacks modern surge protection, a compact separate enclosure can be fitted alongside your existing setup specifically for the vehicle.
What is the difference between tethered and untethered chargers?
A tethered unit comes with a permanently attached charging cable that wraps around the wall box, which is very convenient for fast plug-and-play daily charging. An untethered unit features an open socket, requiring you to plug in your own portable cable; this looks neater on the wall and works with any car plug type.
Do I need permission from the local electricity network to install a charger?
You do not need to apply for prior permission in most standard single-phase residential cases, but the network operator must be notified after fitting. TMB Electrics manages the formal notification process directly with the distribution network operator upon completion of testing.
How long does a 7.4kW home charger take to charge an electric car?
A 7.4kW wall point provides approximately 25 to 30 miles of range per hour of charge. A typical modern electric vehicle with an average battery pack will charge from near empty to full overnight in approximately six to eight hours, usually timed to align with cheaper night-time electricity rates.
Can an EV charger be fitted if I park in a communal bay or rented home?
Installation is possible in rented properties or communal bays provided you have a dedicated private parking space and written consent from the freeholder, landlord, or property management company to run cabling and fix equipment to the external structure.
