EV Chargers

EV chargers are dedicated wall-mounted or ground-mounted charge points that supply power to an electric vehicle more safely and quickly than a standard socket. Our range includes GARO 7.4kW chargers in socketed and tethered versions, the GARO Entity with load management, and the BG SyncEV Wall Charger 2 with Wi-Fi and LAN.

For commercial sites we also supply metered twin 22kW ground-mounted units. Trade customers receive account pricing, with in-stock chargers delivered next working day to NI and ROI when ordered by 5pm.

How to choose the right EV charger

Selecting a charge point means balancing the available supply, the vehicles being charged and how the site will use it. Home installations and commercial car parks have very different needs.

Power output

7.4kW single-phase: the common choice for homes, matching the typical single-phase domestic supply. Our GARO and BG SyncEV chargers fall into this category.
22kW three-phase: suited to workplaces and commercial sites with a three-phase supply; our ground-mounted units offer two 22kW outlets with metering.

A vehicle can only draw what its on-board charger accepts, so a higher-rated charge point will not always charge faster.

Tethered or socketed

A tethered charger has a cable permanently attached, such as the GARO with a 7.5m lead, which is convenient for one household. A socketed (Type 2 outlet) charger lets drivers use their own cable, which suits shared parking and tidier installations.

Load management and connectivity

Load management monitors the property's demand and reduces charging current when needed to protect the main fuse. The GARO Entity is supplied with a 60A load management device. Wi-Fi, LAN or Ethernet connectivity enables scheduling, usage reports and remote updates, and metered units help with cost allocation on commercial sites.

Installation and compliance

EV charger installation is notifiable electrical work in many cases and must follow BS 7671, including its requirements for electric vehicle charging installations. Check earthing arrangements, RCD protection, cable sizing and any network operator notification before starting. Typical supporting materials include SWA armoured cable, RCBOs and weatherproof enclosures. Grant schemes and smart-charging rules vary by region, so check current requirements.

As a family-run wholesaler with 40+ years in the trade, we supply chargers alongside the cable and protection for the job. Delivery is free over £30 / €35 ex VAT, and credit accounts are offered subject to approval.

FAQ's Ask Your Own Question

What size EV charger do I need for a house?: Most homes have a single-phase supply, so a 7.4kW charger is the usual choice. It can add a meaningful range overnight for most cars. A 22kW charger needs a three-phase supply, which is uncommon in houses. Also check the car's on-board charger rating, as this limits the actual charging speed.
Should I choose a tethered or socketed EV charger?: Choose tethered if one household uses the charger and wants the convenience of a permanently attached cable. Choose socketed if several drivers or vehicles with different cables will use it, or if you want a neater wall unit. Socketed chargers need the driver to carry a compatible Type 2 cable.
What is load management on an EV charger?: Load management measures the total current drawn by the property and reduces the charger's output when demand is high, so the main supply fuse is not overloaded. It allows a charger to be fitted on supplies that might otherwise need upgrading. Some chargers include a load management device, such as the GARO Entity with its 60A unit.
Can an EV charger be installed on a supply without an upgrade?: Often yes, especially with load management, but it depends on the existing maximum demand, main fuse rating and earthing arrangement. The installer should assess the supply and may need to notify the network operator. Check current wiring regulations and local requirements before committing to a charger.
Do EV chargers need a dedicated circuit?: Yes, an EV charge point is normally supplied by its own dedicated circuit with suitable overcurrent and RCD protection, sized for the charger's load. Cable size and protection depend on the charger, cable length and installation method. Follow BS 7671 and the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I collect an EV charger from the trade counter?: Yes, in-stock chargers can be ordered for Click & Collect from our Cookstown trade counter. Alternatively, orders placed by 5pm Monday to Friday are delivered the next working day across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, with delivery to Great Britain in 3–5 working days.
