Upgrade Your Existing EV Charger

If you already have a home charger but want better reliability, improved smart tariff compatibility, or a newer model for a new vehicle, we can supply and upgrade the unit while ensuring the existing circuit remains safe, compliant and correctly protected. We assess what’s already in place first — then replace and certify the installation properly.

Typical Upgrade Pricing

Most EV charger upgrades start from £800 fully installed where an existing compliant EV circuit is already in place and suitable for the new charger. This includes supply of the new charger, safe removal of the existing unit, installation of the replacement charger, full electrical testing, certification, and DNO notification. If protection, cabling, routing or load management requires upgrading, we confirm the scope and agree the final price before work begins.

Common Reasons People Upgrade

Upgrades are often needed when an older charger lacks smart tariff features, becomes unreliable, loses app support, or no longer suits a new EV. We recommend a charger that fits your vehicle, your tariff and your electrical setup — not just whatever is cheapest.

We Check the Existing Circuit Before Swapping

A charger upgrade isn’t simply a case of removing one unit and fitting another. We verify the cable size, protection, earthing arrangement and overall demand to ensure the upgraded charger is correctly protected. If improvements are required, we explain them clearly before work begins.

Tested, Commissioned and Certified

After replacement, we complete full electrical testing using calibrated equipment, followed by functional chargepoint checks and commissioning. Certification is issued and DNO notification is completed as part of the service.

Choose a Charger That Fits Your Vehicle and Tariff

We supply and install a small range of proven chargers including Ohme, Hypervolt and Sync Energy. We’ll recommend the right model based on your EV, your tariff (including smart scheduling) and your existing electrical setup.

What We Do on Every Upgrade

  • Assess the existing EV circuit: cable size, route, protective device and installation method
  • Confirm earthing arrangement, bonding, supply characteristics and main fuse rating
  • Verify suitability for the chosen charger (RCD type, DC protection and manufacturer requirements)
  • Upgrade protective devices where necessary (RCBO / SPD options discussed)
  • Carry out full electrical testing (continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, Zs, RCD/RCBO)
  • Complete EV chargepoint functional checks and commissioning
  • Issue certification and formally notify the Distribution Network Operator

Modern Smart Charging — Without Starting From Scratch

Upgrading your EV charger improves reliability, unlocks smart scheduling and ensures your system remains compliant and correctly protected. We upgrade the charger properly — including full circuit verification and testing — so you can charge daily with confidence.
