Before you book

How an introduction works

We review your request and email you with the next step. If we find a suitable installer, you decide whether to connect.

  1. We check the installer

    We review customer feedback on Google and Trustpilot where available, experience, qualifications, insurance and aftercare.

  2. You agree to the introduction

    We name the installer, explain any referral fee and ask before sharing your details.

  3. The installer confirms the work

    They check your home, confirm suitability and availability, and give you the full price. You can compare quotes or decide not to proceed.

If we can’t find a suitable introduction, we’ll tell you. How introductions work.

What should the quote include?
  • The charger, cable route and installation work.
  • Any digging or changes to your electricity supply.
  • Charging timers, the warranty and help if something goes wrong.

Ask the installer which charging speed suits your home and car. A higher number does not always mean your car will charge faster. Try our kW and kWh explainer. Check whether the cable stays attached to the charger, whether you can set charging times, and how it would work with any solar panels.

Could a grant help?

Some households and workplaces qualify. It depends on your situation, where you park and the charger and installer you choose.

Check current grant amounts and eligibility on GOV.UK.

Does my employer have to pay for my home charger?

No, not automatically. Getting an electric company car, including through salary sacrifice, does not generally give you a legal right to an employer-funded home charger. Your employer must honour any contractual commitment to provide or contribute towards one. Check your company-car agreement and employer policy before paying for installation.

Some employers include installation or offer a contribution. HMRC says an employer-funded home chargepoint for a company car available for private use does not create an additional taxable benefit. That does not require your employer to pay. Ask payroll to confirm how your arrangement would be treated.

Before booking, ask HR or your fleet team:

  • Does any contribution cover both the charger and installation?
  • Are there approved installers, spending limits or charges for extra work?
  • Would you have to repay anything if you leave?
