GM Electrical Services installs home EV charging points across Preston from our base just over the Ribble in Penwortham. As OZEV-approved installers and NICEIC-approved electricians, we handle everything in-house — the survey, the wiring, the charger itself and the certification — so your car is charging overnight on your own driveway, not queueing at a public rapid charger.
We fit smart 7kW charging points for homes in Fulwood, Ashton, Cottam, Broughton, Penwortham and across the city, including solar-compatible chargers that top up your car with surplus solar generation instead of exporting it to the grid.
Because we are based in Penwortham, a survey in Preston is a short drive, not a long-distance booking. We check your consumer unit, earthing arrangement and cable route before quoting, so the price you are given is the price you pay — and if your fuse board needs upgrading to take the new circuit, we are NICEIC-approved electricians and can do that as part of the same job.
If you have solar PV — or you are thinking about it — a solar-compatible charger like the myenergi Zappi can divert surplus generation straight into your car. Pair it with battery storage and an off-peak tariff and you can run an EV on some of the cheapest motoring miles available. We design solar, battery and EV charging as one system.
If you rent your home or live in a flat with off-street parking, the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant can contribute up to £500 per socket towards installation — as approved installers we apply it for you and deduct it from the invoice. Once installed, most owners pair the charger with an EV tariff and schedule charging into the cheap overnight window.

It depends on the charger you choose and how far it sits from your consumer unit, so we quote per property after a free survey. If you rent or live in a flat with off-street parking, the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant can contribute up to £500 per socket — as approved installers we deduct it from your invoice.
Yes — a driveway, garage or allocated parking space is needed so the cable never crosses a public footpath. If you are unsure whether your space qualifies, send us a photo and we will confirm before you commit to anything.
Yes. Solar-compatible chargers such as the myenergi Zappi can divert surplus solar generation into your car instead of exporting it to the grid, cutting your charging cost dramatically. We install solar, battery and EV charging together, so the whole system works as one.
Most home EV charger installations in Preston are completed within a day. We fit the charging point, run and protect the cabling, make the final connection, test everything and hand over the certification — and we will talk you through the app and scheduling before we leave.
