EV Charger Installation in Middlesbrough
Home and workplace EV chargers fitted across Middlesbrough by OZEV-approved, NAPIT-certified electricians, with solar-linked charging that cuts your running costs.
Charging at home is the cheapest and easiest way to run an electric car. ALPS Electrical installs EV chargers for homes and businesses throughout Middlesbrough, from our base in Yarm just a few miles away. We’re an OZEV-approved, NAPIT-certified installer and a myenergi Approved Installer, with over 500 reviews on Checkatrade and Google behind us. We’ll recommend the right charger for your car, your driveway and your electricity tariff, then fit it neatly and safely, usually in a single visit.
EV Charger Installation for Middlesbrough Homes
Most Middlesbrough homes with a driveway or garage are well suited to a home charger. Terraced streets in areas like Linthorpe often don’t have the off-street parking a charger needs, so we’ll confirm that first. Most installs take three to four hours, and in most cases we can survey remotely to save you time.
Already have solar, or thinking about it? A solar-aware charger like the Zappi can charge your car from your own panels. See our solar panels in Middlesbrough.
We also cover nearby Nunthorpe.
Parking and property
A home charger needs off-street parking, such as a driveway or garage. Homes here include victorian and Edwardian terraces in Linthorpe and Ayresome, 1930s semis in Acklam, post-war estates, and modern family homes in Marton and Hemlington.
Good to know
Most new homes built in England since June 2022 must come with a charge point. If yours didn’t, or you’d like a smarter or faster charger, we can upgrade it.
Coverage
Serving all areas of Middlesbrough including Acklam, Linthorpe, Ayresome, Marton, Hemlington, Ormesby, Normanby, Eston, Coulby Newham and the town centre.

Why Charge at Home?
Public charging is convenient when you’re away from home, but it’s expensive. Charging on your own driveway costs a fraction of the price, especially on an EV tariff with cheap overnight rates. Plug in when you get home, wake up to a full battery, and never queue at a charge point again.
A proper 7kW home charger will typically add a full charge overnight, which is far quicker than a three-pin plug. It’s also much safer: a dedicated charge point is designed for hours of continuous load, with its own circuit, protection and earthing arrangements.

2–3p/mile
On cheap overnight tariffs
Smart EV chargers also unlock significant cost savings through integration with cheap overnight electricity tariffs. By scheduling your car to charge between midnight and 4:30am on a tariff like Octopus Go, you can charge for as little as 2 to 3 pence per mile driven, compared to 5 to 7 pence per mile on a standard tariff or 14 to 18 pence per mile on public rapid chargers.
Safety Warning: Three-Pin Plugs
Regularly charging from a standard three-pin socket means drawing high power for many hours at a time, which puts extra strain on domestic sockets and wiring that weren’t designed for it. A dedicated EV charger runs on its own circuit with the correct protection, so it’s safer as well as around three times faster.

What’s Involved in the Installation
Most home installations are completed in around two to four hours. We’ll fit the charger where you want it, run the cable neatly, install a dedicated circuit with the correct protection at your consumer unit, then test, commission and set up the app with you. We notify your DNO, Northern Powergrid, where that’s required, and leave you with your certification. Every installation meets the wiring regulations and the specific requirements for EV charging equipment.
Installing Across Middlesbrough
We cover the whole town and the surrounding area, including Linthorpe, Acklam, Marton, Nunthorpe, Coulby Newham, Hemlington and Ormesby, plus commercial premises on the town’s business parks. Older properties sometimes need an earthing upgrade or a consumer unit change before a charger can be fitted. We’ll identify anything like that up front, not halfway through the job.

Charge Your Car With Your Own Solar Power
Pair a solar-aware charger like the myenergi Zappi with solar panels, and your car can charge on your own free solar electricity during the day. Add a home battery and you can also fill up on cheap overnight rates and power your home through the evening. Many of our customers add an EV charger as part of a complete solar and battery system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a grant for my home EV charger?
Only if you rent your home, own a flat, or are a landlord, and have dedicated off-street parking. Homeowners of houses are no longer eligible.
Up to £500 towards the cost, available until 31 March 2027.
If you are eligible, we can apply on your behalf as part of the installation.
Can my EV charger run on solar power?
Yes. Solar-aware chargers like the myenergi Zappi can charge your car using surplus solar electricity that would otherwise be exported to the grid.
Do I need to tell the electricity network about my charger?
Yes. EV chargers must be notified to your network operator, which in our area is Northern Powergrid. We handle this for you as part of the installation.
Will I need a new consumer unit?
Sometimes. We check your consumer unit and earthing at the survey. If an upgrade is needed, we will include it clearly in your quote before any work starts.
Can you install a charger for my business?
Yes. We install chargers for workplaces, retail premises, hospitality venues and housing developments, and can apply for Workplace Charging Scheme funding on your behalf.
