Choosing the right home charger
The best charger depends on your car, your electricity tariff, where you park and how you like to charge. A tethered charger has the cable permanently attached, so it is ready to plug in as soon as you park. An untethered charger has a socket instead, so you use your own cable and the wall stays tidier when you are not charging.
E-Fix commonly installs Ohme, myenergi Zappi and Hypervolt chargers, and can advise which fits your car and tariff best. You can compare the chargers here.
Smart tariffs and cheaper overnight charging
Once a charger is installed, many drivers move to an EV-friendly electricity tariff with much cheaper overnight rates. Smart chargers can schedule charging for these off-peak windows automatically, so the car is ready in the morning at a lower cost per mile.

Why a proper installation matters
An EV charger draws a sustained load, so it needs dedicated circuit protection and, where required, load management to stay within the capacity of your supply. E-Fix checks the consumer unit, earthing and supply before any work is agreed, then tests and certifies the finished installation.

Handover and app setup
A good installation does not stop at the wall unit. E-Fix sets up the charger's app with you, shows you how to schedule charging, and arranges the required notification and certification so everything is in order.
