EV Charger Installation in Penryn

Home EV charger installation in Penryn

CCS Heating & Renewables fits home EV chargers across Penryn and the TR10 area - the town centre, Lower Market Street, St Thomas Street, the Tremough campus edge, Glasney Place, Treverbyn and Mabe. As an MCS-certified Cornwall installer rated 5.0 from 14 Google reviews with more than 200 installs behind us, we understand how one of Cornwall's oldest towns behaves electrically.

Chargers we install

• Zappi - best paired with solar, diverting daytime generation into your car.
• Ohme - syncs to cheap overnight tariffs for low-cost charging.
• Easee - slim and load-balancing, ideal on tight medieval-street frontages.

An old town with narrow streets

Penryn predates neighbouring Falmouth by centuries, and its medieval street pattern still defines the town. The granite terraces and townhouses along Lower Market Street and St Thomas Street sit within a substantial conservation area, with narrow frontages and mainly on-street parking. Here we assess each property carefully, route cabling discreetly to protect period granite fabric, and set out realistic options rather than force a driveway unit where there isn't a driveway. Around the Tremough campus edge, Glasney Place and the newer developments, most homes have off-street parking that suits a 7kW wall charger.

Charge from your own solar

Penryn sits in one of the sunniest parts of the UK, with irradiance around 1,050-1,100 kWh/kWp - about 19% above the national average. A Zappi charger paired with panels lets you charge the car on free daytime solar. To add panels alongside your charger, see our solar panel installation service.

Safe, compliant work

Every install runs on a dedicated circuit with the correct RCD and earthing arrangement, is carried out to Part P of the Building Regulations and is notified to your DNO where required. Older Penryn consumer units sometimes need upgrading first, which we check and quote transparently at survey.

Grants for students and renters

The Penryn campus, shared by Falmouth University and the University of Exeter, gives the town a large student and renter population. If you rent or live in a flat, the OZEV EV chargepoint grant may cover part of the cost of a socket - we'll confirm your eligibility on a free survey. With Cornwall Council's February 2023 Climate Emergency DPD promoting EV readiness across TR10, now is a good time to get set up.
