About EV Home Guide
We're more than an EV charging blog—we're a trusted resource for UK homeowners, providing expert guidance on home EV charger installation, OZEV grant applications, smart energy integration, and the complete journey to sustainable home charging.
Our Mission
To empower UK homeowners with accurate, up-to-date resources that make home EV charging safer, easier, and more affordable. We believe everyone deserves to transition to electric motoring confidently, with the right charging solution for their home.
"When we started researching home EV charging regulations in the UK, we discovered how fragmented and confusing the information was. That's why we created EV Home Guide—to be the comprehensive, trusted resource we wished existed. Every guide is researched from official UK sources, every tip comes from real-world installation experience, and every piece of advice prioritises homeowner safety, regulatory compliance, and value for money."
