SMART EV CHARGING - LONDON
Charge your car around the way your home uses energy.
Smart EV charger installation for London homes - designed around your vehicle, electrical supply, solar panels, battery storage and electricity tariff.
Whether you need a straightforward home charger today or want solar, battery storage and EV charging to work together, Switched On London designs the complete electrical system around the property.
Trusted by Leading Brands
Renewable energy expertise backed by an established London electrical contractor.
MORE THAN A CHARGEPOINT
Your EV can become part of your home-energy system.
An EV is often one of the largest new electrical loads added to a home. That makes the charger, incoming supply, household demand, solar generation, battery settings and tariff strategy worth considering together.
We assess the property as an electrical system rather than simply fixing a charger to the wall.
Three ways to charge
Smart off-peak charging
Schedule charging into suitable lower-cost tariff windows rather than charging as soon as the car is plugged in.
Solar-assisted charging
With compatible equipment and sufficient surplus generation, some smart chargers can vary EV charging around available solar power.
Solar + battery + EV
Coordinate the system so the battery and EV do what you actually want - for example avoiding unnecessary battery discharge into the car during a cheap overnight grid-charging window.
Do not claim every charger can directly 'charge from solar'. Solar-aware charging depends on the selected charger, metering/CT arrangement, minimum charging current, available surplus and overall system architecture.
CHARGER SELECTION
We specify around the car, home and tariff.
There is no single best EV charger for every customer. We consider vehicle compatibility, tethered or untethered preference, smart-tariff requirements, solar integration, app experience, appearance, cable route, available supply capacity and future plans.

PROPER ELECTRICAL DESIGN
The charger is the visible bit. The design behind it matters more.
Before installation we consider the existing consumer unit, earthing arrangement, supply capacity, maximum demand, cable route, protective devices, charger location, communications and any solar/battery equipment already installed.
Where load management is required, the charger can be configured around the available electrical capacity rather than assuming the home can support unrestricted additional demand.
CHARGE WHEN IT MAKES SENSE
Make your electricity tariff part of the design.
Many EV owners choose tariffs with lower-cost charging periods. A compatible charger, vehicle and tariff can make scheduled or supplier-controlled charging considerably more convenient.
If the property also has battery storage, the system should be configured carefully so a cheap overnight EV charge does not unintentionally empty the home battery into the car.
EV CHARGER GRANTS
Some customers can still receive support.
From 1 April 2026, eligible renters and flat owners, residential landlords and households with qualifying on-street parking can access specific government EV chargepoint grants. The maximum support for the relevant residential schemes increased to £500 per socket and the current schemes are scheduled to run until 31 March 2027.
The Workplace Charging Scheme also currently provides eligible organisations with support of up to £500 per socket, subject to scheme rules.
Flats / landlords / on-street
Flats & renters
Where the customer has eligible off-street parking and permission, assess the cable route, metering/supply arrangement and current grant eligibility.
Residential landlords
Design single or multiple chargepoint installations around the property's supply and parking arrangement. Current government support is subject to landlord eligibility.
Homes without a driveway
Where a customer relies on on-street parking, discuss the practical installation route and current on-street charging grant requirements rather than promising a standard driveway solution.
Process
01
Tell us about the car & property
Vehicle, postcode, parking arrangement, charger preference and whether solar/battery already exists or is planned.
02
Electrical assessment
Supply, consumer unit, earthing, maximum demand, cable route and charger position.
03
Charger recommendation
Select suitable equipment around the vehicle, tariff, solar requirements and customer preference.
04
Installation
Install cabling, protection, charger and any required load-management equipment.
05
Commissioning
Connect app/network services, configure charging settings and test the installation.
06
Certification & handover
Provide the relevant electrical documentation and explain how to use the charger.
ONE CONTRACTOR FOR THE ELECTRIFIED HOME
EV charging doesn't have to be a standalone job.
Switched On London combines EV charging with electrical contracting, MCS solar and battery storage and wider home-energy work.
That means customers planning solar panels, battery storage, EV charging, air conditioning or a heat pump can have the electrical infrastructure considered together rather than repeatedly adding isolated systems.
NICEIC electrical contractor
EV charging is fundamentally an electrical installation, not an accessory sale.
Solar + battery capability
MCS solar and battery capability allows EV charging to be considered alongside generation and storage.
London property experience
We understand restricted cable routes, converted properties, flats, shared supplies and the practical constraints of London homes.
Future-ready design
Consider likely EV, solar, battery and heat-pump loads before deciding how the electrical system should be arranged.
Frequently Asked Questions
Potentially, yes. With a compatible charger and suitable metering, charging can be adjusted around available surplus solar generation. How much solar reaches the car depends on generation, household demand, charger settings and when the vehicle is connected.
