Our approved registered electricians will assess your property, advise on the most suitable charger and installation position, and carry out the full installation including any necessary upgrades to your consumer unit.
What type of EV charger should I have installed at my Folkestone home?
For most domestic properties in Folkestone, a 7kW single-phase charger is the standard recommendation. This charges most electric vehicles fully overnight and is compatible with the majority of models on the market. If your property has a three-phase supply, a faster 22kW unit may be possible.

Do I need planning permission to install an EV charger in Folkestone?
In most cases, domestic EV charger installation in Folkestone falls within permitted development rights and does not require planning permission. There are some exceptions for listed buildings or properties in conservation areas. We can advise on whether any restrictions apply to your property during our initial assessment.
How long does an EV charger installation take in Folkestone?
A standard home EV charger installation in Folkestone typically takes between two and four hours, assuming no significant electrical upgrades are required. If the consumer unit needs upgrading or the cable run is particularly long, we will advise on the extended scope before work starts.
Are your EV charger installations eligible for any government grants?
The EV chargepoint grant is available to eligible homeowners in Great Britain, primarily those in flats or rental accommodation. We can advise on whether your Folkestone property qualifies and help you navigate any available funding as part of the installation process.
