Hartlepool's growing EV adoption reflects both the rising cost of petrol for the many residents who commute into Teesside via the A19 and A689 corridors, and the availability of off-street parking across the town's substantial modern housing stock. West Park, Hart Village and the newer developments around Wynyard are particularly well-suited to home charger installation — the majority of properties in these areas have integral garages or private driveways, and modern consumer units with adequate spare capacity. For older properties on the Headland and in central Hartlepool, we carry out a free pre-installation survey to confirm the consumer unit and main fuse rating can support a 7.4kW charger, and advise on surface cable routing options that minimise visual impact. We are OZEV approved installers and handle grant applications on your behalf.
Charger Brands We Install
MyEnergi Zappi — the smart charger that prioritises excess solar generation before drawing from the grid. Ohme Home Pro — integrates directly with Octopus Go and Octopus Intelligent Go tariffs. Tesla Wall Connector — the natural choice for Tesla owners. Wallbox Pulsar Max — excellent build quality and connectivity. Easee One — minimalist, sleek design. We recommend the best fit for your specific setup, not just the one with the best margin.
Installation in Hartlepool

Frequently Asked Questions
A typical home EV charger installation costs between £800 and £1,200 depending on the charger model and cable run distance. This includes the charger unit, all cabling, installation and commissioning. The OZEV grant covers up to £350, bringing the net cost down to £450-£850. Longer cable runs or consumer unit upgrades (if required) may add to the cost.
The OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) grant provides up to £350 towards the cost of installing a home EV charger. To qualify, you need an eligible electric vehicle, off-street parking, and the charger must be installed by an OZEV-approved installer like ALPS Electrical. We handle the entire grant application process — you simply pay the reduced price.
The best EV charger depends on your priorities. The MyEnergi Zappi is ideal if you have solar panels as it can divert excess solar energy to your car. The Ohme Home Pro offers the best smart tariff integration for cheap overnight charging. The Tesla Wall Connector is the premium choice for Tesla owners. The Wallbox Pulsar Max offers excellent build quality and smart features. We can advise on the best charger for your specific setup.
Yes, and this is one of the most satisfying aspects of having both solar and an EV. A MyEnergi Zappi charger can automatically divert excess solar energy to your car, giving you genuinely free motoring. On a sunny day, a 4kW solar system can add 15-20 miles of range per hour of charging. Combined with battery storage, you can store daytime solar energy and charge your car overnight from the battery.
A tethered charger has the cable permanently attached (like a petrol pump), so you simply grab the cable and plug in. An untethered (socketed) charger requires you to use your own cable. Tethered is more convenient for home use. Most chargers are available in both options. The Zappi, Ohme Home Pro and Wallbox Pulsar Max are all available tethered.
