EV Charge Points in Wirral

Wirral council has installed some EV charge points for residents to use, but it is becoming increasingly clear that the majority of electrical vehicle owners will have to install their own EV charge points at home or at their place of business.

All new cars in the UK need to be electric by 2035, for this reason, we are seeing the rapid installation of new EV car charging points in the Wirral.

Here at D.R Electrical, we specialise in installing these electric charge points across the Wirral and North West. Our team of fully qualified electricians are experienced in creating bespoke EV car charging solutions for both residential and commercial properties.

Help with the Costs of EV Installation

You have until the 31st of March 2025 to claim a grant towards the cost of installing your electrical car charging port in the Wirral. If you own a business, this should be taken advantage of as it can result in serious savings for your company.

This grant can be accessed by a variety of sectors including:

  • Flat Owners
  • Renters
  • Landlords
  • Schools
  • Businesses

The grant will vary in how much you can claim, for businesses who need EV charge points for staff you can claim up to 75% of the cost to a maximum of £15,000.

If you need to install dozens of charge points or have a huge fleet of vehicles, you should take advantage of this grant before it expires.

Our car charging ports and solutions

We provide a wide range of solutions for your new EV charge point installation.

Some of our solutions offer universal sockets, to cater to various car models and makes. Others are designed to use an electric car lead, meaning that only specific makes can utilise charging ports.

For home installation, smaller charging ports are available, to provide energy-efficient solutions. We can install your point at any location on your property, fixed to a wall in the garage or as a fixed point in the driveway. You may have 2 or 3 vehicles you need to charge at home and we can help you choose the best charge point for your specific circumstance.

We also install public charging ports which are much larger, with up to 22kW units, to keep up with demand and speed.

Pod Point charging infrastructures and networks are a popular choice for installation here at D.R Electrical. Adaptable and cost-effective, smart home charging, workplace and commercial charging ports can be installed and maintained through Pod Point designs.
