DSG Charge covers properly assessed EV charger installation, replacement and diagnosis for homes, workplaces and properties needing load-management advice.
A Safe Installation
Your charger is treated as a significant new electrical load—not simply a box fixed to a wall.

- Clear quotation before work starts
- No unnecessary upgrades
- Testing and certification included
What I Check Before Installing an EV Charger
A proper assessment helps prevent nuisance tripping, overloaded equipment and avoidable surprises on installation day.
- Existing consumer unit and available ways
- Incoming supply and maximum demand
- Earthing and bonding arrangements
- Cable route, distance and installation method
- Location of the charger and vehicle
- Protective devices and manufacturer requirements
Your EV Charger Installation, Step by Step
1. Survey & Quote
Tell me about the vehicle, property and parking location. I assess the installation and provide a clear quotation.
2. Installation
I install the circuit and charger carefully, keeping disruption to a minimum and respecting your home.
3. Test & Handover
The new circuit is tested, certified and explained so you understand the charger and its protection.
Does Your Consumer Unit Need Upgrading?
Not every EV installation needs a new consumer unit. I check the existing board, protective devices and available capacity first. If an upgrade or additional enclosure is genuinely required, I explain why and quote it clearly before proceeding.
EV Charger Installation Questions
How much does a home EV charger installation cost?
Cost depends on the charger, cable route, distance, consumer unit and any additional work required. I provide a property-specific quotation before installation.
How long does installation take?
Many straightforward domestic installations can be completed in a day. Longer cable routes or necessary electrical upgrades may take additional time.
Can you install a charger at an older property?
Often, yes. Older properties need careful checks of supply capacity, earthing, bonding and the consumer unit before the right installation approach is confirmed.
Is a dedicated charger safer than regular use of a 3-pin socket?
A dedicated charger uses a purpose-designed circuit and protection for sustained vehicle charging. I can assess the property and advise on the appropriate arrangement.
Which areas do you cover?
I install home EV chargers across Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill, Eastbourne, Battle, Rye and nearby parts of East Sussex.
