Do you install EV chargers in Padstow?

Yes. We've fitted chargers at 8 addresses across the PL27 and PL28 postcodes, around Padstow, Rock, Polzeath and St Eval.

I'm not in Cornwall most of the year. Can you still install my charger?

Yes. Most of the planning happens over WhatsApp with photos of your parking space and fuse board. We arrange the install for a day that suits your changeovers.

How much does an EV charger cost for a holiday let?

Our standard holiday let install is £1,499, or £999 after the £500 government grant. That covers a smart charger, installation by a qualified electrician (up to about 10m of cable from your fuse board), certification and guest billing set up. Longer cable runs or groundworks are quoted at a fixed price before any work starts.

How does the £500 grant work?

The government's Workplace Charging Scheme pays up to 75% of the cost, capped at £500 per socket, and is open to small accommodation businesses including holiday lets. You apply yourself, in your own name, on GOV.UK. We can explain any question on the form. The scheme closes on 31 March 2027.

How do guests pay for charging?

Guests tap a card or use an app. You choose the price per kWh and the money is paid into your bank account. The small admin fee is paid by the driver, so there are no monthly fees for you.

EV charger installation in Padstow

Around the Camel Estuary, holiday lets and second homes are a big part of every street. Guests expect an EV charger the way they expect Wi-Fi. We fit chargers that guests pay to use, so you can list your property as EV-friendly without paying for anyone's charging.

What to know about installing a charger in Padstow

Second homes you're not at

You can watch the charger and its earnings from your phone, wherever you are. Guests start a charge with their card or an app, so there's nothing for you or your changeover team to do.

Coastal properties

From Trevone to Polzeath, many properties face straight onto the Atlantic weather. We specify weatherproof chargers and fixings that suit an exposed coastal site.

Charge your own car for cost

When you're staying yourself, you can charge your own car and pay only for the electricity. Guests pay the price you set.
