01
Discovery call
Fifteen minutes on your site, bay count, visitor profile and what you want charging to do for the business.
From first call to first charge.
One contract from survey to the day-to-day running. A typical site runs 6 to 12 weeks from survey to switch-on.
02
Site survey & power check
We visit, measure available capacity at your incoming supply, walk cable routes and confirm what can be installed without an upgrade.
03
Design & package proposal
Bay layout, hardware spec and a written proposal against both packages, with indicative revenue and timescales.
04
Grid application & civils
We handle the DNO application where one is needed, plus trenching, ducting, groundworks and any signage or bay marking.
05
Install & commissioning
Qualified electrical install, testing, certification and connection to the back office. Most sites stay open throughout.
06
Go live & manage
Chargers go live on the public network with contactless and QR payment, remote monitoring, driver support and monthly reporting.
What sets the timescale
Two things: whether your supply has room for the chargers, and how much digging is needed between your intake and the bays. A short cable run on a supply with spare capacity is quick. A long trench or a supply upgrade adds weeks. We tell you which you are facing at survey stage, not halfway through.
The grid application
Northern Powergrid is the network operator across the North East. Some installs only need the operator told within 28 days of connection; others need an application first. We deal with it either way. Read the grid capacity guide.
After go-live
The chargers are listed so drivers can find them, and payments, monitoring, faults and driver questions come to us. You get regular reporting on sessions, energy delivered and revenue. See getting found by drivers.
Good to know: load management often avoids a supply upgrade by sharing the power you already have between the outputs. Read the load management guide.
Questions site owners ask
A typical site runs 6 to 12 weeks from survey to switch-on. Grid capacity and groundworks are what move that number, and we tell you which you are facing at survey stage.
Usually not. Cable routes are planned to keep trenching short and away from your busiest routes, and the work is phased so the car park stays open.
In England most chargers in non-domestic car parks are permitted development. Listed buildings and some protected sites need more care. See the planning guide.
Access for the survey, a look at your electrical intake, and a decision on package and access (guests only, staff, or public). After that we handle it.
Your car park is already full of EVs. They’re just charging somewhere else.
Start with a fifteen-minute call. We’ll tell you honestly whether your site is worth electrifying yet, and if it isn’t, what would change that.
