If you drive an electric vehicle in East Lothian, a home EV charger is the most convenient and cost-effective way to charge — and if you have solar panels, you can charge your car from your own generation. We arrange installation of smart home charge points for EV drivers across the county.
Why install a home EV charger?
Charging at home means you start each day with a full battery, without detours to public chargers or waiting in queues. A dedicated home charge point is faster and safer than a three-pin plug, and smart chargers can schedule charging to happen when electricity is cheapest — or when your solar panels are generating.
Charge your EV from your solar
If you have — or are planning — solar panels, a solar-aware EV charger can divert surplus solar generation to your car instead of exporting it to the grid. That means your driving is powered by sunlight from your own roof. Pair it with a battery and you can charge overnight from stored solar too.
What does EV charger installation include?
- A smart home charge point (typically 7 kW single-phase for home installs).
- A dedicated circuit from your consumer unit, installed by a qualified electrician.
- Configuration of the charger's app and scheduling features.
- Integration with your solar inverter where supported.
- Full testing, commissioning and handover.
EV charging across East Lothian
Historic stone-built market towns and coastal villages such as Haddington, Dunbar and North Berwick, alongside former mining towns like Tranent and Prestonpans with large ex-council estates. Rapid recent growth has added many new private estates, while the countryside holds farmhouses and farm steadings. Whether you live in a new build with a driveway in Tranent, a coastal home in Dunbar, or a townhouse in Haddington, our partners assess your electrical supply and parking setup before recommending the right charger. Most home installs take around half a day.
