When choosing to purchase your charge point through Charge Wizard, you can expect great service from the moment you order and beyond the date of your EV charger installation. Here is a glimpse of what the typical Charge Wizard journey looks like.

Choosing your EV charge point

We make sure that you can view our range of home charge points before any commitment is made. Our catalogue is clear and instantly displays key information regarding the charge points. Look out for our handy tags, you can quickly see compatibility for example with battery storage and solar charging. For a more in depth comparison, you can toggle between the charge point information and specifications. We let you know how much each charge point will cost and this includes our standard installation price. Be sure to check our standard installation guide. Once you're happy with the charge point and colour, select ‘choose this charge point’ to start your journey.

Getting a quote

We just need a few details before you purchase your charge point. By providing this information we can finalise your order. We also use the information to mitigate any potential complications before we attend your home to install the charge point.

Order confirmation

We will send you confirmation of your order. This will include details that you provided about the installation as well as the charge point we will be installing and which date you can expect this to happen. Once funds have cleared, we will dispatch the charge point directly to you.

Building up to your home EV charge point installation

With the information provided, we will check with local authorities to verify electric supply to your home and any considerations required before we arrive at your home. Our friendly customer services team will contact you if any complications arise, we will be sure to resolve any issues swiftly. We know you will be looking forward to EV charging at home, this is why we also send you reminders of the installation date and little things you can do to help make the installation go as smoothly as possible.

Charge point installation day

Make sure you have your charge point at the ready. Our electrician will give you a call when they are on their way to your home. The electrician will complete a risk assessment and let you know if anything else may be needed. If this affects the installation of your charge point, we will let you know everything before any work begins. Once the electrician is happy they will start to set up a circuit for your charge point. You should expect the electricity supply to be turned off whilst the circuit is being connected, your electricity supply is usually unavailable for 30 minutes but could be longer. After your charge point has been connected to the power supply, our electrician will connect your charge point to a network and set the charge point up. Following the installation, our electrician will demonstrate any applications compatible with your charge point as well as show you how to use the charge point.

Aftercare

All of our installations are quality checked and you will receive a copy of the Electrical Installation certificate within a few days of completion. Depending on the charge point you selected, you will receive a guide about the charge point including any manufacturer warranty. We hope everything continues to work as well as the day it was installed; however, if you have any issues with the charge point make sure to contact the manufacturer. For any electrical concerns or questions which may not be charge point related, speak to our customer service or send a message to see how we can help.

We’ve got you covered from start to finish and beyond. Why don’t you go on ahead over to see our range of charge points, we’ll see you soon.

Stephen, Trustpilot Reviewer

The installation was most efficient. Your electrician, Darren, was extremely helpful.

Jane, Trustpilot Reviewer

Our EV charger install was anything but standard. A long run, and awkward siting of the charger meant the team had their work cut out for them. They approached the job with professionalism and are obviously at the top of their game.

Andrew, Trustpilot Reviewer

The booking process was easy. On the fitting day the engineer, Chris, arrived on time and was very helpful. He discussed the fitting options clearly before progressing and once fitted explained the use of App/charger.

Rubel kept me informed of his arrival time and true to his word he was spot on! After a brew and a chat whilst we walked around the areas that he would have to work on… we had a plan! He was brilliant at explaining everything to me and was generous in allowing me to finish my Zoom meetings before knocking out the power!

Marc, Trustpilot Reviewer

Very professional hard working and polite. Rubel showed me how to use the EV charger and helped download the app. He then cleaned up any mess he had made before he left.

Abid, Trustpilot Reviewer

Darren turned up on time despite heavy traffic and completed the job in a very clean tidy and professional way and in just over four hours despite some tricky obstacles.

Today a nice man called Hanif came to install my pod wall charger for my car, he was very careful to make sure that I knew just how to operate it and set up my Ohme account with me. Hanif done the work in great time and made a really good job of it , we had a great chat about life, our respective families and all round good conversation, I would personally highly recommend Hanif to do your installation anytime, great fella 👍🏻
