Overview
A home charge point is essential if you’ve bought — or are considering — an electric car. Plug your car in overnight and it’s fully charged for the day ahead, without the hassle of searching for a public charging point or waiting around at a commercial station. The team at CapitalVolt supplies and fits the latest models from trusted manufacturers, and if you’re not sure which charger to choose or where to locate it, we’re happy to offer guidance.

“Craig and his team were excellent. We needed a partial rewire, and they worked incredibly efficient and tidy while being transparent about the work being done. When they left, it was like they were never there. I can’t recommend them enough and will use them for any future electrical work.”
“I recently had heaters installed at my flat by CapitalVolt Ltd , and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, prompt, and efficient. They made sure everything was set up to my satisfaction and took the time to explain how the heaters worked. Very happy with their service.”
