EV Charger Installation in Leeds
Professional home EV charger installations designed around your property, vehicle and existing electrical installation — from initial assessment through to testing and certification.
Beyond the Charger Itself
A Good EV Installation Is About More Than Fixing a Charger to a Wall.
Before deciding on the right installation approach, BRO Electrical assesses how the charger will work with your property's existing electrical installation.
That means considering where the charger is best positioned, the electrical capacity available, your consumer unit, suitable circuit protection, the cable route between supply and charger, and the electrical demand it adds — alongside how you'll actually use it day to day.
- Charger location
- Available electrical capacity
- Consumer unit
- Circuit protection
- Cable route
- Electrical demand
- Everyday practical use
The charger is only one part of the installation. The electrical infrastructure supplying it matters just as much.
How It Works
How We Approach an EV Installation.
-
01
Property & Supply Assessment
We understand the property, existing electrical installation and proposed charger location.
-
02
Electrical Requirements
We assess the proposed load, consumer unit arrangements, circuit protection and any relevant supply considerations.
-
03
Charger & Positioning
We consider your vehicle and charger requirements and choose a practical location for everyday use.
-
04
Cable Route
We plan an appropriate route between the electrical supply and charger, considering the finished appearance of the property.
-
05
Installation
We install the dedicated electrical supply, protection and charging equipment in accordance with the agreed specification.
-
06
Testing & Certification
We complete the required inspection, testing and electrical certification following installation.
Assessed First
Your Existing Electrical Installation.
The condition and configuration of your existing installation is considered before an EV charger is installed, including:
- Consumer unit capacity
- Available ways
- Existing circuit protection
- Earthing and bonding, where relevant
- Electrical demand
- Cable route and distance
Not every EV charger requires a new consumer unit — if your existing one is suitable, it may simply remain. Where additional work is needed to provide the appropriate supply or protection, we'll explain this clearly before proceeding. See Consumer Unit Upgrades for more detail.
Choosing the Right Unit
Charger Choice.
There are numerous EV charger manufacturers and models available, and the right option depends on your property, vehicle and requirements. Considerations can include:
- Tethered vs untethered
- Charger appearance
- Cable length
- Smart / app functionality
- Scheduling
- Compatibility
- Installation location
We're not here to sell you a particular box — the aim is to help you arrive at a suitable installation. You're welcome to discuss your preferred charger with us and its suitability can be considered as part of the installation.
Finished Properly
A Neat Installation Matters.
Where practical, we plan cable routes and charger positioning with the finished appearance of the property in mind, rather than treating it as an afterthought.
That means considering a practical position for parking and charging, while keeping external cabling and containment as tidy and unobtrusive as reasonably possible for your property.
Cabling can't always be completely hidden — that depends on the property — but it can always be installed with care.
Looking Ahead
EV Charging as Part of a Renovation or New Project.
EV charging can also be incorporated into extensions, major renovations, new-build homes and residential developments.
Where BRO Electrical is already involved in the wider electrical package, EV provision can be considered earlier rather than added as an afterthought — working alongside homeowners, builders, developers and other trades.
The Difference
What the Customer Gains.
Convenient Home Charging
Charge your vehicle at home rather than relying solely on public charging infrastructure.
An Installation Designed for the Property
The electrical installation, charger position and cable route are considered together, not separately.
Clear Advice
If additional electrical work is required, we'll explain what's needed and why before proceeding.
Professional Finish
Installation planned with both practicality and appearance in mind.
Testing & Certification
Electrical testing and appropriate certification provided following completion.
EV Chargers and Solar / Battery Systems.
If you have existing or planned solar panels or battery storage, it's worth mentioning this during your initial discussion with us so the overall electrical arrangement can be considered as part of the EV installation.
EV Charger FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions.
Do I need a new consumer unit for an EV charger?
Not necessarily. It depends on the existing installation, available capacity and protection, and the requirements of the proposed charger installation. BRO will assess this before installation — see Consumer Unit Upgrades.
Where can an EV charger be installed?
The practical location depends on your parking position, electrical supply, cable route and property layout — we can talk through the options for your property.
Can you install an EV charger as part of a renovation?
Yes — and planning the electrical provision earlier can make integration with the wider electrical works easier.
Will I receive electrical certification?
Yes. The relevant inspection, testing and certification is completed following the electrical installation.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
This depends on the property, cable route and whether additional electrical work is required — we won't promise a fixed time before assessing your installation.
Can I choose my own EV charger?
Yes. You're welcome to discuss your preferred charger with us and its suitability can be considered as part of the installation.
Which areas do you cover?
Leeds and the surrounding areas.
Customer Reviews
What EV Charging Customers Say About BRO.
Google Review
Fantastic job by Bro Electrical installing our new EV charging point. We were given great advice on the best positioning for the charger and the installation itself was handled expertly. Ours wasn't a straightforward job due to the distance from the house and the layout of the drive, but this was no problem at all — everything was sorted quickly and efficiently. The car now charges fully in just a few hours. Really appreciate the work, thank you.

Tom first came to fit the electrics in our kitchen, he fitted us a new induction hob, sockets and lights. He is great with communication, always making sure he messaged to say what time he would arrive. Always checked the finer details with us and ensured we were happy with the finished result. We were so happy with the work that we had Tom back recently to fit a new EV charger and EV consumer unit. Tom and Kev are always friendly and make sure to clean up after themselves. We will definitely use BRO Electrical again for any future work. Thanks Tom and Kev
