Charger Type Brand Example Full Cost After OZEV Grant Best For 7.4kW Smart (standard) Ohme, Easee £799–£999 £449–£649 EV owners on standard tariff 7.4kW Solar-compatible Myenergi Zappi £999–£1,200 £649–£850 Solar panel owners Solar + EV charger package Solar + Zappi From £5,800 Solar 0% VAT + OZEV grant New solar + EV combo Commercial (22kW 3-phase) Various £1,500–£3,000 Separate commercial grants High-use or multi-vehicle £350 OZEV EV chargepoint grant Gov.uk, 2026 30 mi/hr range added (7.4kW charger) Standard EV calculation ~0p per kWh from solar divert Zappi solar mode 3–4 hrs typical installation time In-house team ## What Is the Myenergi Zappi and Why Is It Best for Solar Owners? The **Myenergi Zappi** is a 7.4kW smart EV charger that monitors your home's solar generation and automatically diverts surplus electricity to your car — prioritising solar export over grid consumption. Three modes: Fast (always charges at full rate), Eco (uses surplus solar, tops up from grid), and Eco+ (only charges from surplus solar, won't draw from grid). For solar panel owners, Eco mode gives near-free car charging during daylight hours year-round. The Zappi integrates with GivEnergy batteries and SolarEdge inverters — meaning if you have a battery, the system intelligently charges the car, fills the battery, and only then exports to the grid under the [Smart Export Guarantee](/grants/smart-export-guarantee). This hierarchy maximises your own energy use before any export. ## What EV Tariffs Are Available for Home Charging? Several energy suppliers offer dedicated EV time-of-use tariffs for home charger owners: Tariff Supplier Off-Peak Rate Hours Intelligent Octopus Go Octopus Energy 7.5p/kWh 23:30–05:30 (smart scheduled) Agile Octopus Octopus Energy Variable (often <5p) Varies by half-hour OVO Charge Anytime OVO Energy 10p/kWh Midnight–07:00 Volkswagen Group EV Tariff Various 7–9p/kWh 00:00–06:00 With a smart OZEV-approved charger and a time-of-use tariff, annual home charging cost for a 12,000 mile/year driver drops from approximately £590 (at 24.67p/kWh) to approximately £178 (at 7.5p/kWh). Combined with solar divert for daytime miles, annual charging cost approaches zero for most drivers. ### Get a Quote for Home EV Charger Installation OZEV-approved installer · Zappi solar integration · Same-day quotes · Greater Manchester [Get EV Charger Quote](/free-quote) [Solar + EV Package →](/solar-panels) ## Frequently Asked Questions — Home EV Charger Installation How much does a home EV charger installation cost? £799–£1,200 full cost. After the OZEV grant (£350): £449–£850. Solar-compatible Zappi charger: £649–£850 after grant. Combined solar + EV charger packages from £5,800. What is the OZEV EV chargepoint grant? The [OZEV grant](https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-grants-for-low-emission-vehicles) provides £350 toward a home EV charger for eligible homeowners who own or have ordered a qualifying EV or PHEV. We apply for the grant on your behalf — you pay the net price only. What is the difference between 3.6kW and 7.4kW home EV chargers? 3.6kW adds ~15 miles/hour. 7.4kW adds ~30 miles/hour. For most homes, 7.4kW is the standard recommendation — charging most EVs from 20–80% in 4–6 hours. 7.4kW requires a 32A circuit (installed by our engineers). Can I charge my EV using solar panels? Yes. The Myenergi Zappi charger diverts surplus solar electricity directly to your car — charging at near-zero marginal cost. This is the most popular solar-integrated EV charger in the UK. We install it across Greater Manchester. How long does installation take? 3–4 hours for most home installations. Complex cable routes or consumer unit upgrades may require a full day. Do I need planning permission for a home EV charger? No — home EV chargers are permitted development. No planning application is required for residential installations in England. What EV charger brands do you install? Myenergi Zappi (solar-compatible, most popular), Ohme, and Easee — all OZEV-approved. We recommend Zappi for solar owners; Ohme and Easee for EV-only installations. Can I charge an EV cheaply using off-peak tariffs? Yes. Intelligent Octopus offers 7.5p/kWh EV charging overnight (midnight–05:30). Filling a 60kWh EV costs £4.50 vs £14.80 at standard rates. Smart chargers schedule charging automatically to overnight off-peak periods. **Methodology note:** OZEV grant information from [gov.uk OZEV grant documentation](https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-grants-for-low-emission-vehicles).
