EV Charger Installation for Home & Business in Basingstoke

Charging your EV at home should be simple, reliable, and built around how you actually live — not based on what’s quickest for the installer.

At GU Solutions we start with the right questions, then recommend the right charger, in the right location, installed properly and certified.

How do you want to charge?

Before we quote, we’ll understand what matters to you, for example:

Using solar (PV) to charge when the sun’s out (and how you want that prioritised)
Fast charging and what your supply can realistically support
One vehicle or a mix (EV now, another brand later)
Manufacturer preferences (e.g., Tesla-style experience vs “works with everything” options)

The goal is a setup that fits your routine — not a generic box on the wall.

Where do you want the EV charger?

This is where we do things differently from many national installers.

We don’t automatically aim for “shortest cable run from the consumer unit”.

We focus on the best solution for you:

practical access for parking
cable route that’s neat and safe
future-proofing (second EV, driveway changes, garage use)
minimal disruption inside the home

A charger should look intentional — and work brilliantly — not feel like an afterthought.

Choosing the right EV charger (brands and options)

There’s a wide range of chargers on the UK market, with big differences in:

solar compatibility and smart features
tariff optimisation / scheduled charging
app quality and reliability
tethered vs untethered
access control (useful for rentals and workplaces)
warranty and support

Here are some of the most common brands we’re asked about, and what they’re typically known for:

myenergi Zappi (Myenergi) – a favourite for homes with solar PV, with charging modes that help you prioritise self-generated energy.
Ohme – ideal if you want smart charging and to make the most of time-of-use tariffs (cost-controlled overnight charging).
Easee One – compact and discreet, often chosen for a neat finish and a solid smart feature set.
Hypervolt – popular for its user-friendly app control, clean design, and everyday convenience features.
Andersen (A2) – premium, design-led units with hidden cable storage for a very tidy exterior look.
Rolec – broad domestic and commercial range; often considered where access control and wider site solutions are needed.
SyncEV (Sync Energy) – compact smart chargers; a strong “all-rounder” option depending on model and site requirements.
Tesla Wall Connector – a great match for Tesla owners who want a simple, reliable home setup and a clean look.

We’ll talk you through sensible options and install a charger that matches your priorities and budget — without pushing a “one brand fits all” approach.

Survey-led installation, backed by
the GU Solutions Guarantee

Every installation starts with a proper survey. We check supply capacity, earthing, cable routes, and the practical realities of how you’ll use the charger — so there are no nasty surprises mid-install.

Every job is backed by the GU Solutions Guarantee.

Call GU Solutions on 01256 473326 to book your EV charger survey.

Compliance and certification

All EV charger installations are completed to comply with:

BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) (including the EV charging requirements in Section 722)
The IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation (5th Edition) (published 2023)
Building Regulations Part P (notifiable electrical work in dwellings) — with the correct certification provided

Once the jobs complete, we’ll issue the Warranty, Electrical Certification and Part-P notification, keeping your installation fully compliance and documented.

FAQs about
EV Charger Installation
for Home & Business

Practical, everyday answers to help you understand what to expect and how it all works.

Do I need a survey before you install an EV charger?

Yes — a proper survey helps us get it right first time. We check your supply capacity, earthing arrangement, consumer unit suitability, cable route options, and where you actually want the charger. It also means no surprises on the day.

Can you install a charger where I want it, not just nearest the consumer unit?

In most cases, yes. Unlike many national installers, we don’t default to the shortest route. We’ll plan the neatest, safest cable route to the location that works for your parking and day-to-day use — and we’ll explain any limitations clearly.

Can my charger work with solar panels?

Absolutely — if you choose a solar-compatible charger and the setup suits your goals. During the survey we’ll discuss whether you want to prioritise solar-only charging, top-up from the grid when solar is low, or simply charge as normal but track solar contribution.

How fast will my EV charge at home?

That depends on your property’s electrical supply, the charger rating, and your vehicle’s onboard charging capability. We’ll advise what’s realistic and worthwhile — sometimes the “fastest charger available” isn’t the best value if the supply or vehicle can’t take full advantage.

What certification do I receive after installation?

You’ll receive the correct electrical certification for the work carried out, and the installation will comply with BS 7671, Part P (where applicable), and the IET Code of Practice for EV Charging Equipment Installation (5th Edition). In short: it’s installed properly, tested properly, and documented properly.

Do you install EV chargers for businesses and fleets?

Yes. If you’re installing chargers for staff, fleet vehicles, or customers, we can help you choose solutions with features like access control, usage reporting, and billing/cost recovery — and design a setup that can scale as your needs grow.
