EV Charger Installation in Bodmin

Home EV Charger Installation in Bodmin

CCS Heating & Renewables installs home EV chargers throughout Bodmin and the surrounding PL31 and PL30 postcodes, roughly 10 miles from our Pool base near Redruth via the A391 and A30. As MCS-certified Cornwall installers with 200+ projects delivered and a 5.0/5 rating from 14 Google reviews, we fit smart chargers to suit Bodmin's varied housing — Victorian granite terraces near the town centre and Beacon, 1950s to 1970s semis, and the fast-growing new-build estates at Highfield Park and Barons Meadow.

Chargers We Fit

  • Zappi — solar-diversion charging, ideal for the many new-build homes here arriving with panels.
  • Ohme — tariff-smart charging for cheap overnight rates.
  • Easee — compact and load-balanced for older terraced supplies.

Solar Diversion & Rural Charging

Bodmin is a strong solar area, and a Zappi with solar diversion charges your car from surplus daytime generation rather than exporting it cheaply to the grid. We regularly install chargers and panels together — see our solar panel installation service. This matters most in the surrounding rural parishes of Lanivet, Cardinham and Blisland, which sit off the mains gas grid and are poorly served by public charging, so home charging is genuinely the only practical option. A 7kW charger adds around 30 miles of range per hour, versus 24+ hours on a standard plug.

Parking & Property Context

The Highfield Park and Barons Meadow developments come with modern wiring, driveways and, in many cases, garages, making them among the simplest retrofits in north Cornwall. Detached rural properties around Bodmin Moor almost always have ample off-street parking, though longer cable runs from the meter can affect siting — we assess this on survey. The older granite terraces around Berrycoombe and the town core sometimes rely on on-street parking, which limits home-charger options and grant eligibility.

Grants, Regulations & OZEV

The OZEV EV chargepoint grant (up to £350) remains open to flat owners and tenants, useful for the apartments and rented terraces near the town centre. Homeowners with driveways install without a grant but still benefit from smart-tariff savings. Every job is completed to BS 7671 and notified under Part P, with its own dedicated circuit, RCD protection and a compliant smart charger.

What Our Customers Say

"Had solar panels installed by CCS and could not be happier. Professional team, tidy work, and they explained everything clearly. Already generating more electricity than we expected, and the Smart Export Guarantee payments are a nice bonus."

"Quick and professional EV charger installation. CCS recommended the Zappi so we can charge from our solar panels during the day. Saves us a fortune compared to public chargers, especially in summer."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About EV Chargers in Bodmin

01
How much does a home EV charger cost to install?
A home EV charger typically costs £850–£1,300 fully installed. Popular models include the Zappi (which can divert solar energy to your car), Ohme Home Pro, and Easee One. Installation usually takes half a day. The OZEV grant (£350) is now only available for renters and flat owners — not homeowners in houses. If you have solar panels, a smart charger like the Zappi can charge your car using free solar energy during the day.
02
Can I charge my electric car using solar panels?
Yes — and it is one of the most cost-effective EV charging options available. A smart EV charger like the Zappi or Ohme can detect when your solar panels are generating surplus electricity and automatically divert it to charge your car. On a sunny day, this means effectively free car charging. Customers with solar and a smart EV charger typically source 50–70% of their car charging from solar throughout the year.
03
What electricity tariff should I use with a home EV charger?
If you don't have solar panels, an EV-specific off-peak tariff can save significantly on charging costs. Tariffs like Octopus Intelligent and Octopus Go offer rates as low as 7–10p/kWh overnight, compared to the standard rate of 24.67p/kWh (Ofgem Q2 2026). Smart chargers like the Ohme and Zappi integrate directly with these tariffs to schedule charging automatically. If you have solar, a time-of-use tariff combined with smart charging means you can charge cheaply from the grid overnight and from free solar during the day.
