Charger speed & type
Which charge rate and connector suit your car and daily mileage.

Whether smart charging and off-peak EV tariffs can cut your running costs.

Whether you qualify for the EV chargepoint grant toward installation.

Scout EV Charging is a pre-suitability platform for home EV chargepoint installations. It sits between your first question, “can I get a home charger?”, and your first conversation with a qualified installer. We check your parking, electrical supply and property against public data, then tell you whether a charger is suitable and why. We connect you with certified installers, and we don't take a cut of your quote.
Yes. Running your property check is completely free and takes about two minutes. We're paid by installers when you choose to connect with them, never by adding anything to your quote.
Most homes use a 7kW charger, which fully charges a typical EV overnight. Scout recommends the right speed based on your car, mileage and electrical supply.
A home charger needs a driveway, garage or dedicated off-street space. Scout checks whether your property has somewhere safe and legal to install and park beside a charger.
Yes. Pairing a smart charger with an off-peak EV tariff can dramatically cut charging costs. Scout flags whether smart charging is available for your setup.
Sometimes. Scout checks your main fuse rating and flags whether your supply can handle a charger or may need an upgrade before installation.
Most home charger installations are completed in half a day to a full day once your installer has confirmed the details.
