Domestic EV Charger Installation
I recently used the Meel Group to install an Electrical Vehicle charging point on my driveway. I approached them because they are local to my area but I was, however, very impressed with their deep knowledge of EV charging. I was shown how to use the charger and they made sure they answered all of my questions I have no problem recommending them to anyone wishing to have an EV charger installed.

EV installation grants
There are two government grants currently to help with EV installation for businesses. One covers the infrastructure, and the other covers the charge point hardware and installation.
They can give you substantial savings in implementing your sustainability policy.
Together, these grants contribute substantially to your transition to a carbon-neutral business.
We are OZEV approved installers covering Cheshire, Staffordshire, Greater Manchester, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.
Business EV grant details
- The EV Infrastructure Grant for Staff and Fleets covers EV infrastructure and power distribution. If you are an SME with under 250 employees, this grant allows you to claim up to £500 per charge point. Each business can claim for up to 5 sites, and each site’s grant has a £5000 cap (or 75% of costs). Learn More
- The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) grant contributes up to £350 per socket to help with the purchase and installation of EV charge points. There is a grant cap of £14,000 / 40 charge points. Learn More
EV charging as part of your sustainability policy.
We’ll talk to you about how the technology can support your goals, and identify the best solutions from the products available. We can also take you through the process of obtaining government grants for electric charging points.
Moving towards a net zero carbon footprint is something on the agenda for every UK company. Read our guide to five things your company can do to reduce their carbon footprint.
We do not restrict ourselves to any particular EV charge point manufacturer; this is a significant advantage as we can recommend the most appropriate EV charger that fits your requirements. For instance, many charge points have lots of hardware and software which enable functions and features you may never use – but are part of the cost of the unit. By selecting a charger from a wide range of reputable brands, we can propose a tailored recommendation for your company. A customised solution can save you money; moreover, the range of units and what each can do is expanding all the time, and we are constantly reviewing new models and brands.
The Benefit in Kind Tax (BiK) is now set at 2%, substantially lower than the fossil fuel vehicle rate.
An EV infrastructure grant gives you money off the cost of wider building and installation work that’s needed to install multiple charge point sockets. The work can be for sockets you want to install now and in the future. For example, an EV infrastructure grant can cover things like wiring and posts. You can get up to £30,000 or 75% off the cost of the work. The amount depends on how many parking spaces the work covers. You can receive up to 30 grants a year for installing infrastructure in residential carparks. Lean More
We are OZEV approved installers for electric vehicle charge points. This means we are approved by the government as installers and it allows our clients to claim the grant help currently available. Grant application is straight forwards and we help our clients through this process.
Why are commercial EV installations different to domestic ones?
While the technology may look similar, when designing EV charging systems for businesses, there is a lot more to be considered. Our engineers are very experienced in designing effective commercial charging systems.
How many and what type of vehicles will require charging?
Does the company require rapid and fast charging as well as standard?
How much surplus power is available at different times of the day?
Does the company wish to set varied tariffs, or will all charging be free?
Is future-proof expansion required?
Our engineers consider many more points when designing workplace installations that ensure they offer an appropriate solution.
