Combine EV Charging with Solar in Mountsorrel
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.
Solar installation in Mountsorrel →Battery Storage
Store surplus daytime solar energy and use it to charge your EV in the evening — further reducing reliance on the grid and maximising free miles.
Battery storage in Mountsorrel →Smart EV Charging
A Zappi charger automatically uses surplus solar energy first. On cloudy days or at night, it switches to the cheapest grid tariff — giving you the lowest possible cost per mile.

How much does an EV charger installation cost in Mountsorrel? ▼
Home EV charger installation in Mountsorrel typically costs £700–£1,500 depending on the charger model and any additional electrical work required. Our most popular installations — the Ohme Home Pro and Zappi — start from £750 all-in. We provide a fixed quote after a free site assessment with no hidden costs.
Can I charge my EV with solar panels in Mountsorrel? ▼
Yes — and it's the cheapest way to charge. A Zappi charger (by myenergi) has three modes: Fast (full grid power), Eco (mixes solar and grid) and Eco+ (charges only from surplus solar, so it's free). In Leicestershire you could cover 3,800-5,800 miles per year on free solar energy. It pairs perfectly with our solar installation service in Mountsorrel.
Do I need a 3-phase supply for a faster charger in Mountsorrel? ▼
No — almost all Mountsorrel homes run on a standard single-phase 230V supply, which powers a 7.4kW charger that adds around 30 miles of range per hour. A 3-phase supply is only needed for 22kW charging, which most homes don't require. Our engineer checks your consumer unit during the free assessment.
How long does an EV charge take on a home charger in Mountsorrel? ▼
A 7.4kW home charger adds roughly 30 miles of range per hour, so an overnight 8-hour charge delivers 200+ miles for most EVs — ready every morning. That's about 4x faster than a standard 3-pin plug. We install across Mountsorrel and the rest of Leicestershire, usually completed in a single day.
Are there grants for EV charger installation in Mountsorrel? ▼
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 installs, the EV Chargepoint Grant provides up to £350 for eligible renters and flat owners. Our team handles all grant applications on your behalf.
