EV Charger Installation in Cardiff — Charge Smarter, Charge Greener
With electric vehicle ownership growing rapidly across Cardiff and South Wales, having a dedicated home EV charger is becoming essential for every EV owner. A 7.4kW home EV charger charges your car up to 10x faster than a standard 3-pin plug, adding approximately 25–30 miles of range per hour. When combined with solar panels, you can charge your car for free using surplus solar energy — a combination that saves Cardiff EV owners hundreds of pounds per year.
GL Solar is an OZEV-approved EV charger installer serving Cardiff, Penarth, Barry, Newport, Caerphilly and all surrounding South Wales areas. We install home and commercial EV chargers from all leading brands — Ohme, Zappi, Hypervolt, Wallbox, Myenergi and more. Our qualified electricians handle everything from the initial survey and cable routing through to installation, smart app setup and solar integration. We also install EV chargers in flats, apartments, new builds and listed properties across Cardiff.
The Zappi charger by Myenergi is our most popular choice for Cardiff solar customers. Its Eco+ mode automatically diverts surplus solar energy to your car, meaning you can charge for free whenever the sun is shining. The Ohme Home Pro and Hypervolt Home 2.0 are also excellent choices — each offering smart scheduling, energy tariff optimisation and app control. Our free survey will recommend the best charger for your specific car, driving pattern, solar system and budget.
We cover all Cardiff postcodes including CF1, CF3, CF5, CF10, CF11, CF14, CF15, CF23, CF24 and the wider South Wales region including Penarth (CF64), Barry (CF62), Newport (NP19/NP20), Caerphilly (CF83), Pontypridd (CF37) and Bridgend (CF31). Most installations are completed in a single half-day visit with minimal disruption. We handle all the electrical work including consumer unit upgrades and Building Control notification.

“GL Solar installed a Zappi charger at our home in Pontcanna. It works brilliantly with our solar panels — we charge the car for free most days in summer. The installation was quick and tidy, the electrician was really knowledgeable, and they set up the app so I can schedule charging during the cheapest Octopus Agile tariff slots. Brilliant service.”
