EV Charger Installation in Lichfield
Free, no-obligation quote for your home or workplace EV charger in Lichfield, with grant application help included as standard.
Lichfield is seeing a steady rise in electric vehicles, from the newer estates at Boley Park and Curborough through to properties closer to the cathedral quarter. Whether you have just taken delivery of your first EV or you are adding a second charge point, getting a dedicated home or workplace charger fitted properly makes an enormous difference to daily life. We install leading brands including Zappi, Wallbox, and Pod Point, all through a clean, single-visit process.
We are NAPIT-registered electricians and OZEV-approved installers, which means we can handle the grant application on your behalf and ensure the installation meets the current wiring regulations. We do not subcontract. The same qualified electrician who surveys your property carries out the work, so nothing gets lost between quote and completion.
What's included
Every Lichfield job includes.
A pre-installation survey of your consumer unit, cable routes, and parking arrangement, so we agree the exact scope before any work starts and there are no surprises on the day.
Supply and installation of your chosen EV charger, whether that is a Zappi, Wallbox, or Pod Point unit, mounted cleanly at the agreed position with all cabling concealed where reasonably possible.
Connection to your consumer unit with a dedicated circuit breaker, tested to current BS 7671 wiring regulations and signed off with a full electrical installation certificate.
OZEV grant application handled on your behalf where you are eligible, taking the paperwork off your plate entirely and ensuring the claim is submitted correctly first time.
Solar integration assessment for any property that already has, or is considering, rooftop solar panels, so your car can charge from excess generation rather than drawing from the grid.
A full post-installation walk-through covering the charger app, scheduling features, load-balancing settings, and how to track energy use, so you leave confident you can get the most from the unit.
Local knowledge
EV Charger Installation in Lichfield.
Lichfield is a compact city with a broad mix of housing stock. The medieval centre around the cathedral and Beacon Street contains a high proportion of listed and conservation-area properties where external cable runs and surface-mounted equipment need careful thought. In most cases a tidy internal route from a first-floor consumer unit to a garage or driveway is perfectly achievable, but it pays to have a qualified electrician assess the route before committing to a charger position. We are familiar with the constraints these older buildings present and we plan cable routes sympathetically.
The 1970s and 1980s estates, particularly Boley Park to the south-east and Curborough and Streethay to the north, tend to have more straightforward installations. Consumer units in these properties are typically in a hallway or utility area with a manageable run to a single or double garage, or to a designated off-road parking space. Many of these homes already have solar panels or are actively considering them, which makes a smart charger like the Zappi a logical choice: it monitors rooftop generation and diverts surplus energy into your car automatically, reducing the cost of charging considerably over time.
Parking arrangements in Lichfield vary considerably. Terraced streets near the city centre often rely on kerbside or courtyard parking, which can complicate installation if there is no dedicated off-road space. For these properties we always discuss the practical options at survey stage and will advise honestly if a charge point is not feasible from the current parking set-up. Properties on the larger estate roads and in the surrounding villages within the WS13 and WS14 postcode areas generally have driveways and garages well suited to a standard installation, and we cover all of those areas on a regular basis travelling up from our Redditch base via the M42 and A38.
Why Lichfield
Why Lichfield chooses us.
Lichfield customers choose us because we combine electrical qualification, OZEV approval, and solar expertise in a single visit, with no middlemen and no hidden costs.
We are NAPIT-registered electricians and OZEV-approved installers, so your installation is fully compliant and your grant application is handled correctly from the outset, with no need to manage separate contractors.
Every quote is free, written, and itemised after a proper survey. There are no call-out charges, no provisional figures, and no extras added on the day. What we quote is what you pay.
We are fully insured for both domestic and commercial electrical work, so your property and our operatives are covered from the moment we arrive. We can confirm the details of our policy on request.
Because we also install solar panels and battery storage, we can advise on the full picture: whether a smart charger, a battery, or a solar array would deliver the best outcome for your household, without pushing a product that does not fit.
We take a small number of jobs each week so each installation gets proper attention. You will speak to the same person from first enquiry to sign-off, which means nothing falls through the gap between sales and installation.

Often booked together
Pairs well with.
Pairing a Zappi smart charger with a rooftop solar installation means your car charges from surplus generation automatically. For Lichfield homes on south-facing estates like Boley Park, this combination is particularly effective at reducing grid reliance.
A solar battery stores excess daytime generation and releases it overnight, so your EV charges on clean, low-cost energy even after dark. We can size the battery and charger together to make the most of your roof output.
Many older Lichfield properties need a consumer unit assessment or upgrade before a dedicated EV circuit can be added cleanly. Combining both jobs in a single visit keeps disruption to a minimum and reduces overall cost.
Worth knowing
Before you book in Lichfield.
Listed and conservation-area properties in the cathedral centre may require careful routing to avoid visually intrusive cable runs on external walls. Permitted development rules still apply to the charger unit itself, but it is worth discussing the installation route with us at survey stage before proceeding.
If your consumer unit is at or near capacity, an EV charger will need a dedicated circuit and there may be a need to upgrade the board or add a load-balancing device. We assess this at survey and include any necessary remedial work in the quote so the final price is fixed.
Properties without off-road parking cannot currently benefit from the OZEV grant, and there are practical limits on running cables across a public pavement to a roadside parking bay. If your parking situation is borderline, let us survey the property first so we can give you a straight answer before you commit to anything.
FAQs
Lichfield questions.
How long does an EV charger installation take in Lichfield?
Most home EV charger installations in Lichfield take between two and four hours from arrival to sign-off, assuming the consumer unit is in reasonable condition and the cable route is straightforward. Properties on the Boley Park or Curborough estates, with a short run to a garage or driveway, are usually at the quicker end. Older properties nearer the cathedral centre, where the cable route may be longer or more complex, can take a little longer. We will give you a realistic time estimate when we survey the property, so you can plan your day accordingly.
Am I eligible for an OZEV grant for my EV charger in Lichfield?
The OZEV grant, currently known as the EV chargepoint grant, is available to homeowners and renters who own an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle and have dedicated off-road parking. Most properties on Lichfield's residential estates qualify straightforwardly. Properties without a private driveway or garage are generally not eligible, as the grant requires the charger to be installed on private land. We check your eligibility as part of the free survey and handle the application on your behalf if you qualify, so you do not need to navigate the paperwork alone.
Can I charge my EV from my solar panels in Lichfield?
Yes, and it is one of the most effective ways to get value from a rooftop solar installation. A smart charger such as the Zappi monitors your solar generation in real time and diverts surplus energy into your car rather than exporting it to the grid. For south-facing homes on estates like Boley Park or Streethay, where solar yields tend to be good, this can significantly reduce the effective cost of running an electric vehicle. We can survey your existing solar set-up or design a combined solar and EV charger installation in a single visit and quote.
Will an EV charger installation affect my consumer unit or fuse board?
An EV charger requires a dedicated circuit with its own breaker. If your consumer unit has spare capacity and is in good condition, this is a straightforward addition. Older boards, particularly those in 1970s and 1980s properties common in Lichfield's estates, sometimes need a like-for-like upgrade or the addition of a load-balancing device before a charger circuit can be added safely. We assess the board as part of every free survey and include any required remedial work in the written quote, so there are no surprises once the job starts.
Do you install EV chargers in listed or conservation-area properties in Lichfield?
Yes. The historic centre of Lichfield, including streets close to the cathedral and in the Beacon Street area, contains a number of listed and conservation-area properties. Installing an EV charger in these buildings requires careful thought about cable routing to avoid visually intrusive runs on original external fabric. Permitted development rights still apply to the charger unit in most cases, but the route to the parking space needs planning. We have experience working in sensitive historic buildings and will discuss the options honestly at survey stage, including letting you know if a clean installation is not practicable.
Do you install EV chargers for businesses and commercial premises in Lichfield?
Yes. We install workplace chargers for small businesses, office buildings, and commercial premises across the Lichfield area. Workplace installations follow a similar process to domestic jobs: a free survey, a written quote, OZEV grant assessment where relevant, and a clean, certificated installation. If you have multiple parking bays or need load management across several charge points, we can advise on the right configuration. Contact us on 01527 337155 to discuss your requirements and arrange a no-obligation site visit.
