Combine EV Charging with Solar in Ashby-de-la-Zouch

The most cost-effective setup for Leicestershire homeowners: solar panels generating free electricity, a battery storing excess energy, and a smart EV charger using it to power your car.

Solar Panels

Generate free electricity during daylight hours. A typical Leicestershire home generates 3,500-4,500 kWh per year — enough to cover significant EV mileage.

Up to 3,800-5,800 free miles/year

EV Charging FAQs for Ashby-de-la-Zouch Homeowners

QHow much does an EV charger installation cost in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?

Home EV charger installation in Ashby-de-la-Zouch typically costs £700-£1,500 depending on the charger model and any additional electrical work required. Our most popular installations — Ohme Home Pro and Zappi — start from £750 all-in. We provide a fixed quote after a free site assessment with no hidden costs.

QHow long does EV charger installation take in Leicestershire?

Most home EV charger installations in Leicestershire are completed within a single day — usually 3-6 hours. This includes installing the charger, running cables, testing, and setting up the app. Our Ashby-de-la-Zouch engineers typically complete installations Monday to Friday with short lead times.

QCan I charge my EV with solar panels?

Yes — and this is the most cost-effective approach. A Zappi charger (by myenergi) has three modes: Fast mode (full grid power), Eco mode (mixes solar and grid), and Eco+ mode (charges only using surplus solar, so it's free). In Leicestershire you could cover 3,800-5,800 miles per year using only free solar energy. This pairs perfectly with our solar installation service in Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

QAre there any grants for EV charger installation in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?

The OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme provides up to £350 per socket (max 40 sockets) for businesses, charities, and small accommodation providers in Leicestershire. For residential installations, the EV Chargepoint Grant provides up to £350 for eligible renters and flat owners. Our team handles all grant applications on your behalf.

QWhat is the cheapest way to charge an EV at home in Leicestershire?

The cheapest option is combining solar panels with a smart EV charger like the Zappi — giving you genuinely free charging during daylight hours. Without solar, a smart tariff like Octopus Intelligent (available in Leicestershire) charges your car at around 7p/kWh overnight, compared to 60-80p/kWh at public rapid chargers. We can advise on the best setup for your driving habits and home in Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
