Workplace, fleet and customer EV charging installations for commercial premises across East Lancashire. From single 7kW units to multi-bay 22kW arrays, with proper load assessment, DNO liaison where needed, and full certification.
Most commercial EV charging installs go wrong in the planning stage, not the install stage. A 7kW charger draws thirty amps continuously when in use. A multi-bay array of four 22kW chargers can draw nearly four hundred amps. That’s a serious load on a building’s incoming supply – and a serious problem if the supply isn’t sized for it.
We see plenty of jobs where someone’s fitted a bank of chargers to a building that can’t actually run them all at once. The result is breakers tripping, chargers throttling, or worse – a smart load-management system shutting half the array down at peak demand because the supply was always going to fall short.
A proper EV charging install starts with a load assessment of the existing building. Then a sizing exercise – how many chargers, what speed, what utilisation pattern. Then a DNO check if the building’s supply needs upgrading. Then the install. Then commissioning, testing and certification.
We work to OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) and BS 7671 standards. Where the install qualifies for the OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme grant we’ll handle the paperwork – the grant covers up to £350 per socket, up to forty sockets per applicant.
We measure existing demand, check supply capacity, walk the proposed charger locations, note cable run distances and identify any DNO liaison needs.
Quote covers chargers, install, cable runs, any supply upgrade work, smart load management if needed, and grant-eligible items broken out separately.
Where OZEV grant applies we complete the paperwork. Where supply upgrade needed we lodge the DNO application - usually 4-8 weeks lead time.
Cable runs installed, chargers mounted, supplies commissioned, smart-load configured if applicable, all chargers tested and load-cycled.
Minor works certificates issued for each charger, OZEV claim submitted, smart-load config documented, user training given to your team if requested.

EV charging is becoming increasingly important for holiday parks, caravan sites and lodges. Installing chargers allows guests to arrive, plug in and enjoy their stay without having to search for a public charging station nearby.
Chargers can be configured for private guest use or made available to the wider public. Payment-enabled systems allow you to set your own charging tariff, collect payments and monitor usage through an online management platform.
We assess your existing electrical supply, recommend the right number and speed of chargers, and install smart load management where required. This prevents the chargers from placing unnecessary pressure on the site’s electrical supply during busy periods.
A properly planned installation gives your guests a useful additional service while helping the chargers generate income for the park.
Depends on supply size and existing demand. A typical 100A three-phase commercial supply can usually run 4-6 x 7kW chargers if existing demand is moderate. We do a load assessment as part of every quote.
7kW is single-phase. 22kW is three-phase and draws three times the current. Most cars charge optimally at 7kW and don’t benefit from faster – but fleet vehicles with three-phase capability do.
A single 7kW workplace charger with the supply already in place is a one-day install. Multi-bay arrays take 2-4 days. Supply uplifts add 4-8 weeks of DNO lead time.
Most commercial premises with off-street parking qualify. The Workplace Charging Scheme grant is £350 per socket, up to 40 sockets. We handle the paperwork.
Yes – for sites where rapid charging is needed (customer-facing retail, transport hubs). DC fast chargers from 50kW up. These typically need a three-phase supply uplift.
Where you want more chargers than the supply could simultaneously run, smart load management dynamically allocates current across the array. Common on multi-bay installs and increasingly standard.
