Installing a home EV charger in London
Looking to get a reliable home EV charger in London without the faff? Mint Energy makes it simple. We handle everything from an initial assessment of your property, to neat, compliant cabling and a tidy finish on installation day. Our team fits popular smart chargers (including Hypervolt, Ohme and myenergi) and sets up app control so you can schedule cheaper off-peak charging and track your costs in real time.
We’re local, fast and friendly. Whether you’re in Hounslow with driveway access or a flat in Islington with a parking bay, we’ll advise the cleanest, safest route, position your charger for ease of use, and make sure your installation meets current UK wiring regulations (BS 7671), we include surge protection in all of our installations as standard.
What you can expect from Mint Energy
- A fixed, transparent quotation with no hidden extras (other firms will charge you extra for surge protection or even having your charger delivered)
- Smart tariff advice (e.g. off-peak night rates) to cut charging costs
- Professional set-up of the charger app & any load management required.
Electric car charger for my home
Choosing the right electric car charger comes down to practicality and performance. Most London homeowners go for a 7.4kW smart charger — fast enough for overnight top-ups, efficient on standard single-phase supplies, and future-proof for your next EV. We’ll help you decide on tethered (built-in cable) versus untethered (socket only), look at the best cable run options, and plan the neatest trunking or drilling route to keep your home looking sharp.
Safety is non-negotiable. We’ll complete all the required electrical testing, notify your DNO and then demonstrate your charger before we leave. You’ll know exactly how to start, stop and schedule a charge using the app for your charger – no guesswork.

Home car charging point
A home car charging point is about convenience and control. With Mint Energy, you’ll get a tailored plan based on your property type—Victorian terrace, 1960s semi or modern apartment—as well as your parking setup. We’ve installed chargers in mews streets near Kensington, suburban drives in Orpington, and underground car parks around Canary Wharf, always prioritising clean cable routes and minimal visual impact.
We also consider the practicalities: where you usually park, cable reach to your car’s charging port, and whether a cable hook or compact holster would keep things neat. The result? A charging point that looks good, works brilliantly and fits your daily routine.
Typical timeline
- Day 0–1: Free remote survey (photos & brief questionnaire)
- Day 2–3: Final quote & installation date confirmed
- Installation day: 2–4 hours for a standard installation, including commissioning
