EV Heroes: nationwide EV charger installation from Chorley

EV Heroes is an electrical contracting business based in Chorley that specialises in installing electric vehicle charging points for domestic and commercial customers. The company states that it has completed more than 5,000 charge point installations and draws on over 30 years of experience in the electrical contracting industry. Its work is carried out by what it describes as a team of fully trained and certified professionals, and it presents itself as an approved installer under the government's Home Scheme (EVHS) and Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS).

The service is offered nationwide through a network of certified installers, and the company says it can arrange finance for installations. It also highlights support with government grants and the availability of special offers on selected chargers.

EV Heroes sells and installs a range of home charging units, with product pages for each model. The catalogue includes:

How the installation process works

The company describes a four-stage process. It begins with an initial consultation to establish the customer's needs, followed in most cases by a remote survey that assesses the property layout and the electricity supply type without requiring an on-site visit. A fixed-price quotation is then issued within 48 hours, covering equipment and installation. Once the quote is accepted, certified engineers carry out the installation and commission the charger.

Workplace charging and grant support

For businesses, EV Heroes installs chargers for staff and fleet vehicles and provides guidance on the Workplace Charging Scheme, which the company says can cover up to 75% of installation costs. It also publishes a guide to UK EV charging grants covering eligibility and application.

Accreditations, partnerships and recognition

The company states that it is NIC/EIC approved and OZEV accredited for both the Home and Workplace Charging Schemes. It has been recognised by Octopus Energy as a Trusted Partner for EV charge point installation. In 2024 it was named EV Installer of the Year at the eFIXX Awards. All charge points installed by the company come with a three-year warranty, according to its website.

Additional services

Beyond EV charging, the company's navigation lists commercial solar panels and a service plan, and it maintains a careers section that includes a route to become an installer.
