Home EV Charger Installation in Truro

CCS Heating & Renewables installs home EV chargers across all Truro postcodes — TR1, TR3 and TR4 — around 8 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. Arrange a survey via our EV charger installation service.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About EV Chargers in Truro

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 (£500) is £500 per socket since 1 April 2026 and is for flats, renters, landlords and on-street residents — not homeowners with a driveway. If you have solar panels, a smart charger like the Zappi can charge your car using free solar energy during the day.

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.

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.

Can I still get a government grant for a home EV charger in Cornwall?

Only in specific circumstances. The scheme that paid homeowners closed in March 2022. What remains is the OZEV chargepoint grant at £500 per socket — the rate for every OZEV chargepoint grant since 1 April 2026 — for renters and flat owner-occupiers, for landlords, and for households with no off-street parking through the on-street residential scheme. Businesses claim £500 per socket for up to 40 sockets under the Workplace Charging Scheme. The work must be done and claimed by an OZEV-authorised installer. If you own a house with a driveway, assume no grant and judge the quote on its own merits.

Is a 7kW charger worth it over a 3kW one?

For almost every Cornwall household, yes. At 3.5 miles per kWh — typical for a mid-size EV — a 7.4kW charger returns roughly 25 miles of range per hour against about 10 from a 3kW unit, so a seven-hour off-peak window is the difference between around 175 miles and around 70. 22kW needs a three-phase supply, which is uncommon in Cornish homes outside farms and converted commercial buildings.
