How does your charger save you money while you sleep?
A basic charger starts the moment you plug in, usually at peak rates. A smart charger shifts your charging to off-peak hours, automatically or via the app, so you pay a fraction of the cost.
Automatic tariff integration
Ohme connects directly to Octopus, OVO, and other smart tariffs. It finds the cheapest window and charges there. No timers, no thinking.
Scheduled charging via the app
Set your charge window in the Tesla app to match your off-peak hours. Same savings, you just set it once yourself.
Full app control on all three
Set charge limits, track energy costs, and monitor sessions from your phone. All chargers have dedicated apps with over-the-air updates.
What does it cost to charge at home?
Charging overnight on a smart tariff costs a fraction of public charging or petrol. Set your mileage and unit rate to see how much you'd save.
What would you pay to drive 10,000 miles a year?*
Based on UK average prices as of (standard public PAYG from Zapmap Price Index; unleaded from DESNZ weekly road fuel prices). Figures refresh monthly from those sources.
Compare annual costs across different mileages
Estimated annual running cost by yearly mileage (same assumptions as the calculator above).
| Annual mileage | Home charger (off-peak, ~7p/kWh) | Home charger (standard, ~26.1p/kWh) | Public charging (~54p/kWh) | Petrol (35 mpg at £1.56/L) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5,000 miles | £100/yr | £373/yr | £771/yr | £1,013/yr |
| 8,000 miles | £160/yr | £597/yr | £1,234/yr | £1,621/yr |
| 10,000 miles | £200/yr | £746/yr | £1,543/yr | £2,026/yr |
| 12,000 miles | £240/yr | £895/yr | £1,851/yr | £2,432/yr |
| 15,000 miles | £300/yr | £1,119/yr | £2,314/yr | £3,039/yr |
| 20,000 miles | £400/yr | £1,492/yr | £3,086/yr | £4,053/yr |
At your mileage and rate, switching from public charging to a home charger could save you £1,343 a year. That means the installation pays for itself in 11 months.*

Can your solar panels charge your car for free?
Got solar panels? Your charger can use surplus generation to charge your car before pulling from the grid. No solar yet? We install that too.
Surplus builds up
Your panels produce more than your home uses during the day. That excess normally goes back to the grid for a few pence.
Kept, not exported
With a battery, that excess sits waiting instead of being sold back at 4p/kWh.
Car gets first dibs
EV charger pulls from your solar or battery first. Grid power is the last resort, not the default.
Miles you didn't pay for
Every kWh from your roof is one you didn't buy at 24p. Over a year, that's hundreds of miles on the house.

BoilersEV charger installation FAQ
Straight answers on chargers, costs, installation, and the OZEV grant.
How much does an EV charger cost to install?
Installations are fully fitted, including the charger, all wiring, electrical testing, and NAPIT certification. Your exact price depends on which charger you choose and how far the cable run is from your consumer unit. If you're eligible for the OZEV grant, up to £500 comes straight off your invoice. Note: the Tesla Wall Connector isn't on the government's approved chargepoint model list, so the grant only applies to our Ohme chargers.
Which charger is right for me?
How long does installation take?
From quote to a working charger is typically around three days. The on-site installation itself takes around half a day for most homes, including mounting, wiring, testing, and certification. We confirm your date upfront and walk you through what to expect on the day.
What's included in the installation?
Everything needed for a safe, certified install: the charger unit, wall mounting, cable run back to your consumer unit (5m or 8m included), a dedicated circuit with RCD protection, full electrical testing, NAPIT certification, and our 2-year workmanship warranty. No hidden extras on a standard install.
Do I need to tell my energy supplier?
Can I charge my car from solar panels?
What is the OZEV grant?
Will the charger work with my car?
Yes. All three chargers use the Type 2 connector, the UK standard for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The Tesla Wall Connector works with all EV brands, not just Tesla. If you're unsure about your car's socket, check your handbook or tell us the model when you quote.
