Stockton-on-Tees has one of the highest proportions of new housing in the Tees Valley — particularly across Ingleby Barwick and the Wynyard estate — and newer properties are increasingly specified with EV charging in mind. For homeowners in the older areas of central Stockton, Fairfield, Norton and Hartburn, we assess whether the existing consumer unit and main fuse are suitable before recommending the best approach. Where a consumer unit upgrade is required first, we can typically complete both works in a single day, minimising disruption.

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 £500, 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 £500 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.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Stockton on Tees?
A 7 kW home charger typically costs £900–£1,200 fully fitted in Stockton on Tees, depending on the charger and cable run. Eligible renters and flat owners can claim the OZEV chargepoint grant of up to £500.
Can a normal electrician install an EV charger?
It must be an electrician competent in EV charging installations who notifies your DNO (Northern Powergrid in our region) and certifies the work. ALPS are OZEV-approved and NAPIT-registered, and handle the whole process.
Which is better — 3 kW or 7 kW?
A 7 kW charger is the standard home choice: roughly twice the speed of 3 kW, fully charging most EVs overnight (~3–8 hours). 22 kW needs three-phase supply, which most homes do not have.
Can my charger use my solar panels?
Yes — solar-aware chargers like the Zappi or Ohme divert excess solar generation into your car. As solar installers as well as EV specialists, ALPS design the two systems to work together.
