Electric vehicle adoption continues to grow across the UK, and with it comes increasing demand for reliable, professionally installed EV charging infrastructure. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to charge your vehicle conveniently at home or a business seeking to support employees, visitors or corporate fleets, Oakford Integration delivers expert EV charger installation services throughout Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
Our approach goes beyond simply fitting a charging point. We assess your property’s electrical capacity, ensure compliance with UK regulations and integrate your EV charging solution with your wider energy infrastructure – including renewable energy systems and smart technology – to create efficient, future-ready installations.
Why Professional EV Charging Installation Matters
Installing an electric vehicle charger is not a simple plug-and-play task. It requires detailed knowledge of electrical systems, building regulations and safety standards to ensure your installation is compliant, safe and performs reliably over the long term.
A properly installed EV charger ensures your vehicle charges efficiently and safely, without risking damage to your property’s electrical system. This is particularly important for homes with older wiring or businesses with complex electrical infrastructure. Our qualified engineers conduct thorough site surveys to assess your existing electrical setup, determine available capacity and identify any upgrades required to support your new charging point.
We handle every stage of the process – from initial consultation and site assessment through installation, testing and commissioning – ensuring your EV charging system meets UK standards and integrates seamlessly with your home or business infrastructure. This comprehensive approach protects your investment and provides peace of mind that your installation has been completed to the highest professional standards.
Home EV Charging Solutions
For homeowners, a dedicated EV charging point offers convenience, safety and control. Rather than relying on public charging infrastructure or unsuitable domestic sockets, a professionally installed home charger enables you to charge your vehicle overnight or whenever convenient, ensuring you start each day with a full battery.
We install a range of EV charging solutions, including the Hypervolt EV charger and Ohme charger, tailored to your property and usage requirements. These systems are selected for their reliability, performance and compatibility with a wide range of electric vehicles.
Modern home EV chargers can be controlled via smartphone apps, allowing you to monitor charging status, track energy consumption and schedule charging during off-peak periods when electricity rates are lower. When integrated with our smart home solutions, your EV charger can work in harmony with other home technologies, providing a cohesive, intelligent approach to energy management.
For homeowners with solar PV systems, integrating your EV charger with renewable energy and battery storage creates an especially powerful solution. You can charge your vehicle using clean electricity generated by your own solar panels, reducing reliance on the grid and lowering your energy costs. Our team designs these integrated systems to maximise efficiency and deliver long-term value.

Commercial EV Charging Infrastructure
Businesses face different considerations when installing EV charging infrastructure. Whether you need to support a corporate fleet, provide charging facilities for employees or offer charging as an amenity for visitors and customers, Oakford Integration delivers commercial EV charger installations designed to meet operational requirements while supporting sustainability objectives.
We provide commercial EV charging solutions that can include multiple charging points, access controls and integration with your wider building infrastructure. This ensures secure, managed access and enables you to monitor usage, allocate costs and maintain control over your charging facilities.
Installing EV charging infrastructure demonstrates environmental commitment, supports staff who drive electric vehicles and helps future-proof your premises as vehicle electrification accelerates. For organisations with sustainability targets, EV charging forms an important component of reducing carbon emissions and promoting greener transportation options.
Our commercial installations are designed for scalability. As your needs grow – whether through fleet expansion or increased employee adoption of electric vehicles – your charging infrastructure can be expanded and upgraded to match.
Understanding EV Charger Installation Costs
The cost of installing an EV charging point varies depending on several factors, including the type of charger you select, your property’s existing electrical infrastructure and any upgrades required to support the installation.
Basic 3.6kW chargers are typically more affordable than higher-power 7kW or 22kW units, which deliver faster charging but may require more substantial electrical work. The condition and capacity of your existing electrical installation also affects cost – properties requiring consumer unit upgrades, new circuits or additional electrical work will incur higher installation charges than those with modern, adequate infrastructure already in place.
Our team provides a full quote including supply and installation, ensuring transparency and no hidden costs. We explain each element of the quote clearly, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for – including the charging unit, electrical work, labour and testing.
We also offer guidance on grants and incentives that may be available to help reduce the overall cost of your EV charging installation. Depending on your circumstances, government or local authority funding programmes may provide financial support. We can help you understand eligibility requirements and navigate application processes to make the most of available assistance.
Integrating EV Charging with Renewable Energy
One of the most effective ways to reduce both your carbon footprint and energy costs is to integrate EV charging with renewable energy solutions such as solar PV systems and battery storage. Oakford Integration specialises in creating integrated systems where these technologies work together to deliver sustainable, efficient energy solutions.
We combine EV charging with solar PV systems and battery storage, enabling you to charge your vehicle using clean, renewable energy generated on-site. This approach reduces reliance on grid electricity, cuts energy bills and maximises the value of your solar installation by using self-generated power for transport as well as household or business consumption.
Battery storage systems allow you to store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it later – including during evening and overnight periods when you’re most likely to charge your vehicle. This ensures you can maximise the proportion of your EV charging powered by renewable energy, even when the sun isn’t shining.
Our solutions are designed to be future-ready, ensuring your system can adapt to new technologies and evolving energy trends. As the EV market continues to develop and energy management becomes increasingly sophisticated, having an infrastructure designed with scalability and flexibility in mind is essential. We design installations that can be easily expanded or upgraded as your needs change.

Smart Energy Management and EV Charging
Modern EV charging doesn’t exist in isolation – it forms part of an integrated energy ecosystem within your property. Smart energy management technologies enable you to monitor and control energy consumption across your home or business, optimising usage patterns and reducing costs.
We provide smart energy monitoring solutions that give you real-time insights into energy consumption and enable seamless integration of renewable energy sources. When combined with smart EV charging, these systems can automatically schedule charging during periods of low electricity demand or high renewable generation, ensuring you benefit from the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly charging possible.
For businesses, smart energy management provides additional benefits including demand management, load balancing and detailed reporting on energy usage across different areas and functions. This supports sustainability reporting, helps identify opportunities for further efficiency improvements and ensures your EV charging infrastructure operates as cost-effectively as possible.
Electrical Safety and Compliance
All EV charging installations must comply with UK electrical regulations to ensure safety and performance. Our qualified engineers are experienced in delivering compliant installations across residential, commercial, educational and industrial settings.
We conduct thorough electrical testing and safety inspections to ensure your property’s electrical infrastructure is suitable for EV charging and meets legal and safety standards. Where upgrades are required – such as consumer unit replacement, earthing improvements or circuit upgrades – we handle these works as part of your installation, ensuring everything is completed to the correct standard.
Proper electrical design and installation protects your property, your vehicle and the people using the charging point. It also ensures your installation will pass any inspections required by insurance companies, grant administrators or building control authorities.
