EV Charger Installation in Truro

Home EV Charger Installation in Truro

CCS Heating & Renewables installs home EV chargers across all Truro postcodes — TR1, TR3 and TR4 — around 15 miles from our Pool base near Redruth. As MCS-certified Cornwall installers with 200+ completed projects and a 5.0/5 rating from 14 Google reviews, we fit smart chargers to suit the city's housing: 1930s to 1940s semis around Tregolls, premium detached homes in Kenwyn and Highertown, and the new Langarth Garden Village estates to the north-west. As Cornwall's administrative capital and home to Cornwall Council, Truro leads the county on EV adoption, and demand for home charging here is among the highest we see.

Chargers We Fit

• Zappi — solar-diversion charging, popular in the solar-active Kenwyn and Highertown areas.
• Ohme — best-in-class for Octopus Intelligent and similar smart tariffs at 7 to 10p/kWh overnight.
• Easee — slim, load-balanced unit for tighter city plots.

Solar Diversion

Truro's high solar yield makes a Zappi with solar diversion especially worthwhile: spare daytime generation charges your car for free rather than exporting at a few pence per unit. We fit chargers and panels together — see our solar panel installation service. A 7kW charger adds around 30 miles of range an hour, transforming everyday running costs when combined with an off-peak tariff.

Parking & Property Context

The detached homes of Kenwyn and Highertown — where values run from roughly £530,000 to £880,000 — almost all have driveways or garages, making them premium, straightforward install sites. Langarth Garden Village is being built with EV infrastructure designed in from the outset. By contrast, the Georgian and Victorian terraces of the city centre and the Tregolls area frequently depend on on-street parking, which rules out a private home charger and steers residents toward public and workplace charging instead.

Grants, Regulations & OZEV

The OZEV EV chargepoint grant (up to £350) remains available to flat owners and renters — relevant for the many apartments and converted terraces across central Truro. Homeowners with off-street parking install without a grant but gain the full smart-tariff savings. Every installation meets BS 7671 and is notified under Part P, with a dedicated circuit, RCD protection and a regulation-compliant smart charger.
