If you're on Intelligent Octopus Go, EDF or any tariff with a cheap overnight window, the Ohme Home Pro is genuinely the best charger for you — it automatically schedules charging to hit the cheapest rate without you having to think about it. Colour LCD screen, built-in 4G means it keeps working even if your home WiFi drops. No solar diversion mode, so if you have panels the Zappi is the better fit.

If you have or plan to get solar panels, this is the obvious pick — no other charger diverts surplus solar generation into your car as effectively. Also integrates natively with Myenergi's Libbi battery, covered in our battery storage comparison. Worth noting the price is unit-only — installation is arranged and paid separately, typically £300–£600.

Not the flashiest charger on this page, but genuinely the most trusted at scale — a 4.5/5 Trustpilot score across an enormous review base is hard to argue with. Simple WiFi app, solar-aware charging mode (though not full diversion like Zappi), and a longer 5-year warranty than Ohme or Zappi. The right choice if you want something that just works without fuss.

Designed and made in the UK, with real wood or aluminium finish options and a concealed cable that genuinely makes it look like part of the house rather than an appliance bolted to the wall. The 7-year warranty is the longest of any charger on this page. It's a genuine premium option — expect to pay more than the £995 entry price for anything beyond the base finish, and it lacks Zappi's full solar diversion.

The EV chargepoint grant is up to £500 per socket (75% of cost), but eligibility is narrower than many buyers assume. It covers flat residents, renters, and on-street parking with a permanent cross-pavement solution — but homeowners with a private driveway lost eligibility back in 2022 and cannot claim it, whatever a charger's marketing implies. Funding is confirmed until 31 March 2027.

If you don't qualify, several installer networks offer 0% finance options instead — worth asking about when you get quotes.
