No, the vast majority of home EV charger installations use a standard single-phase electricity supply.
What you need to know:
- 7 kW single-phase — this is the standard for UK homes. It adds around 25–30 miles of range per hour of charging, which is more than enough for overnight charging.
- 22 kW three-phase — this is much faster but requires a three-phase electricity supply, which is rare in homes but common in commercial properties. It is typically only needed for high-mileage fleet vehicles.
- Load balancing — we install chargers with built-in load management to protect your main fuse. This means the charger automatically adjusts its power draw if your home is using a lot of electricity elsewhere.
During our free survey, we check your main fuse rating and existing electrical load to make sure a 7 kW charger can be safely installed. In the rare cases where an upgrade is needed, we handle that too.
