Chargers we install in Deal.
The domestic market has settled on 7.4kW single-phase for most Deal driveways - a 32A dedicated circuit off a Type A or Type B RCD (Type B where the car doesn't have onboard DC fault current management). Load management to shed the charger when the shower comes on is now standard. For Walmer detached properties or CT14 businesses with three-phase supplies, 22kW three-phase halves charge time on compatible vehicles.
We install Zappi, Ohme, Andersen, Hypervolt, Wallbox Pulsar and Rolec, and can advise on which suits your supply capacity, home battery/solar setup and future heat-pump load. Every install is OZEV-registered where the customer qualifies for the EV chargepoint grant (renters, flat owners, small commercial - the owner-occupier grant closed in 2022 but landlord and flat schemes continue).
Telling the network operator.
Your local network operator is South Eastern Power Networks, part of UK Power Networks. We tell them about the charger and raise it early, so anything they need to approve is dealt with before work starts.
Conservation area and listed-building considerations.
A wall-mounted EV charger on the front elevation of a Grade II listed Middle Street terrace is not straightforward. Dover District Council conservation officers will usually push for a rear-elevation install, a discreet colour match to the render, or a bollard-mount at the driveway edge. We survey the whole route - meter position, cable path, charger location - before quoting so the DDC consent path is clear.
