Public charging works, but it's rarely the fastest, cheapest, or most convenient way to keep an electric vehicle powered. A home charger changes that — letting you charge overnight, on your own tariff, without ever having to plan a trip around finding a working charge point.
Princeton Eco Plus supplies and installs home EV chargers across the West Midlands, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire, working with leading charger brands to match the right unit to your vehicle, property, and budget.
A home EV charger — technically an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) unit — connects to your home's electricity supply and delivers power to your vehicle far more efficiently than a standard 3-pin plug. Most home chargers deliver 7kW, roughly three to four times faster than plugging into a regular socket, meaning a typical overnight charge can comfortably take a car from near-empty to full.
Many modern chargers are also "smart," meaning they can be scheduled to charge during off-peak, cheaper electricity tariff windows, and some integrate directly with home solar PV systems, prioritising your own generated electricity before drawing from the grid.
Around 2-3kW at best — a near-empty battery can take well over a day to fully charge.
7kW as standard — three to four times faster, charging overnight on your own tariff.
Charge overnight and start every day with a full battery, without detours to public charge points.
A dedicated charger delivers power far more quickly and safely than a 3-pin socket.
Home electricity, especially on an EV-specific or off-peak tariff, is far cheaper per mile than public charging.
Charge overnight and start every day with a full battery, without detours to public charge points.
Many chargers let you automatically charge during the cheapest tariff hours.
Pair your charger with home solar PV to charge your car using your own generated electricity.
A home charger is an increasingly attractive feature for buyers and tenants as EV adoption grows.
We install leading charger brands, so you're not limited to a single option.
Professional installation ensures your home's electrical supply can safely support the additional load.
During your survey, we'll talk through which unit best suits your vehicle, your home's electrical setup, and any smart or solar-integration features you're interested in.

This depends on your charger's output and your vehicle's battery size, but a typical 7kW home charger can fully charge most EVs overnight.
Yes — many home chargers can be configured to prioritise your own solar-generated electricity, reducing how much you draw from the grid.
Most home EV charger installations don't require planning permission, though we'll flag anything unusual for your specific property during the survey.
Our electricians assess your existing supply and consumer unit as part of the survey, and will advise if any upgrade work is needed to safely support a charger.
This depends on your vehicle, budget, and whether you want features like app control or solar integration — we'll talk you through the options that suit you best.
Generally yes — home electricity, particularly on an EV or off-peak tariff, is typically significantly cheaper per mile than public rapid charging.
