EV Charger Installation in Wantage & Grove
Covering Wantage's historic Market Place and the fast-growing new estates at Crab Hill in Grove.
Wantage and Grove function as one built-up area, but they're at very different stages: Wantage's Market Place — home to the statue of King Alfred the Great, traditionally said to have been born here in 849 — sits among older housing with on-street parking, while Grove is partway through one of the county's biggest new-build phases at Crab Hill, a 1,500-home development approved in 2015 and still being built out. We quote each on what's actually there, not a single town-wide assumption.
Installing in Wantage & Grove, specifically
Wantage's historic centre
The streets around the Market Place are older housing, generally with on-street parking rather than driveways, so we plan for a cross-pavement cable route rather than assuming a simple driveway install.
Crab Hill, Grove
Crab Hill is a 1,500-home development behind Charlton village, approved in 2015 and still being built out in phases. New-build homes here have modern consumer units, which usually means a quick, same-visit install — though with construction ongoing nearby, we check site access before booking.
Supply
Wantage and Grove sit within SSEN's Oxfordshire distribution area, the same operator covering the rest of the county.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked most often by customers across Oxfordshire.
How much does an EV charger cost to install? +
A typical home installation costs between £800 and £1,400 depending on the charger model you choose and the complexity of the cable run. That includes the charger unit, the full installation, and the electrical certification. We'll give you a fixed quote before any work starts — no surprises.
What is the OZEV grant and can I get it? +
The OZEV EV chargepoint grant contributes up to £350 toward the cost of installation for eligible properties — currently flats, rental homes, and some commercial premises. Eligibility rules change often, so we'll check your situation honestly and handle the full application if you qualify.
How long does a typical installation take? +
Most home installations are finished in 3 to 5 hours. We arrive in the morning, protect your driveway and walls, run the cable, install the charger, commission it on the app, and give you a walkthrough before we leave.
Do I need a driveway to have a charger fitted? +
Off-street parking is the simplest case, but not the only one. If you have a dedicated bay or a garage we can usually find a safe cable route. Street-to-kerb installations are generally not permitted under current regulations — we'll always tell you upfront if we can't help.
Which charger brands do you install? +
We fit all major brands including Zappi, Ohme, Hypervolt, Sync EV, EO and Wallbox. If you already know what you want we'll install it; if not, we'll recommend the right unit for your car, tariff and property.
