EV Charger Installation in North Somerset

Clevedon Electric is a North Somerset-based electrical contractor specialising in home EV charger installation. We work exclusively in the area we know best — from the coastal villages around Clevedon and Portishead to the market towns of Nailsea and Weston-super-Mare. Because we're local, we can usually offer same-week availability and we don't charge travel fees across our service area.

As more households in North Somerset switch to electric vehicles, the demand for reliable home charging has grown considerably. Public charge points across the area remain limited and expensive — often charging 75p to 85p per kWh at rapid chargers compared to as little as 7.5p per kWh on an intelligent home tariff like Octopus Intelligent Go. A properly installed home charger pays for itself quickly, typically within two to three years for a typical North Somerset driver doing around 800 miles per month.

We install only OZEV-approved smart chargers — primarily the Zappi GLO, Sync Energy Tethered, and Andersen A3 — all of which are compatible with standard UK Type 2 electric vehicles and can be paired with smart energy tariffs for automatic off-peak scheduling. Every installation is carried out by a registered electrician and comes with a full electrical certificate, DNO G98 notification, and manufacturer warranty.

Solar panel ownership is particularly high across North Somerset, and it's something we factor into every recommendation. The MyEnergi Zappi GLO is our default recommendation for most homes, combining solar integration, smart tariff scheduling and a clean British design — it monitors your PV output in real time and automatically charges your vehicle from surplus roof energy before any is exported to the grid. For homeowners in Failand, Wraxall, or the rural villages around Congresbury and Kenn where larger properties often have significant solar installations, this can mean charging the car for next to nothing throughout the summer months.

Why Choose a Local Installer in North Somerset?

National EV charger installation companies operate across the whole of the UK, which often means long waiting times, engineers travelling from outside the area, and less flexibility on scheduling. As a North Somerset business, we can offer shorter lead times, a genuine free site survey with no sales pressure, and a team that understands the local housing stock — from Victorian terraces in Clevedon town centre to modern new-builds on the outskirts of Portishead and Weston-super-Mare.

We're also familiar with the typical consumer unit configurations found in North Somerset homes and know which ones are likely to need additional work before a charger can be fitted. Where the standard installation criteria aren't met — for example if your consumer unit is plastic, lacks surge protection, or has no spare circuit capacity — we can install a separate EV supply unit directly from your meter instead. We confirm all of this during the free survey, so there are never any unexpected costs on the day.

OZEV Grants for North Somerset Residents

The OZEV Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) grant remains available for flat owners, renters with dedicated off-street parking, and landlords — offering up to £350 off the cost of supply and installation. If you're a homeowner in a single-unit property the grant is no longer available to you directly, but landlords installing across multiple properties can claim per property. We handle the grant application on your behalf as part of every eligible installation.

If you're based in Clevedon, Nailsea, Portishead, Weston-super-Mare, or any of the surrounding villages in North Somerset and you're looking for a straightforward, fixed-price EV charger installation from a local team, get in touch for a free quote. We'll confirm your price within 24 hours and can usually have a charger on your wall within the week.
