Types of EV Chargers We Install

We install all major brands and charger types across Foxrock and Co. Dublin

7kW Home Charger Most Popular +

The standard home EV charger. Fully charges most EVs overnight in 4–8 hours. Works on a single-phase electricity supply, which is what most Irish homes have. Costs roughly €2–3 per full charge on night rate electricity — that's about 300km of driving for the price of a coffee.

22kW Fast Charger +

Three times faster than a 7kW unit — full charge in 1–3 hours. Requires a 3-phase electricity supply, which some Irish homes have (common in rural areas). Ideal for households with multiple EVs or high daily mileage. Also perfect for B&Bs and small businesses.

Smart EV Chargers (WiFi + App Control) +

WiFi-connected chargers with smartphone app control. Schedule charging for off-peak night rate hours, monitor energy usage, set spending limits, and track your charging history. Brands like Zappi, Ohme, and Easee all offer smart features. The Ohme even integrates with your energy provider for automatic cheapest-rate charging.

Solar-Compatible Chargers +

If you have or plan to install solar panels, a solar-compatible charger like the myenergi Zappi can automatically divert surplus solar energy to charge your EV — essentially free driving powered by the sun. A popular combination in Co. Dublin , especially with the separate SEAI solar panel grant of up to €2,100.

Things to Know Before You Install

Honest answers to common concerns about home EV charger installation in Foxrock

⚠️ "My consumer unit might need upgrading" +

The reality: Around 30–40% of Irish homes, particularly those built before 2000, have older consumer units that may need upgrading to safely handle a dedicated EV charger circuit. This can add €200–€400 to the installation cost.

Our solution: This is exactly why we do a free site survey first. Your electrician checks your consumer unit before quoting, so you know the full cost upfront — no surprises on installation day.

⚠️ "I rent my home / live in an apartment" +

The reality: The SEAI grant is only available to homeowners with off-street parking. If you rent, live in an apartment, or don't have a driveway or garage, you currently can't avail of the home charger grant.

Alternative options: Ireland's public charging network is expanding rapidly. ESB eCars, Applegreen Electric, and Circle K all offer public chargers across Co. Dublin .

⚠️ "The installation will be disruptive" +

The reality: There is some disruption — the electrician needs access to your consumer unit and will drill through an external wall to route the cable. This means a small hole, some dust, and 2–4 hours of work.

How we minimise it: Our installers clean up after themselves, seal all cable entry points, and use cable covers to keep things tidy. Most homeowners say they barely notice the installation happened.

⚠️ "I'm worried about electricity costs" +

The reality: Charging an EV at home does increase your electricity bill. A full charge on a 60kWh battery costs approximately €12–15 at standard day rates.

The smart solution: Night rate electricity reduces charging costs by 40–50%. A full charge on night rate costs just €6–8 — roughly 300km of driving. Compare that to €80+ per tank of petrol — you'll save €1,500–€2,000 per year.
