Installers who know Bradford homes
Bradford is a short drive from our Leeds base, and we cover the whole BD area for home EV chargers, from the city centre out to Bingley and Keighley.
A lot of Bradford homes are solid stone: terraces in Manningham and Heaton, back-to-backs, and older semis up towards Thornton and Queensbury. Thick stone walls take longer to drill and core, and the meter is often in a cellar, so the cable route matters more than the charger. On sloping streets we also check that the charger reaches where the car actually parks. Newer estates around Idle, Baildon and Bingley are simpler, with drives and the meter box on the outside wall.
What’s included
- RiponEV Pro 7.4kW smart charger with app, Wi-Fi and load balancing
- Up to 10m of cable, isolator and protection device
- Testing, certificate and notification
- App set-up and a walkthrough before we leave
- OZEV grant paperwork, if you qualify
No driveway? We’re a Kerbo Charge partner installer, so on-street homes can charge from their own supply. See kerbside charging.

A selection of recent RiponEV installs across Bradford, and a good picture of the district’s housing. Several are on solid stone, which takes longer to drill and fix but gives a rock-solid mounting. Others are on rendered walls, where we keep the charger clear of downpipes, and on brick semis with the meter box outside. Each one has its own isolator and a tidy, clipped cable run, and was tested and set up on the owner’s phone before we left.

“He was attentive, informative, friendly, and punctual from start to finish. He took the time to make sure everything was done to a high standard and didn’t rush off… He also took the time to walkthrough the set up of the app and how to navigate afterwards.”

EV charger questions
My house is stone with a cellar meter. Is that a problem?
No, it’s common in Bradford. It usually means a longer cable route through the cellar and out through a stone wall. We price the exact route at the survey, and up to 10m of cable is already included.
Do you cover Keighley and Bingley too?
Yes. We cover the whole Bradford district for EV chargers, including Shipley, Bingley, Keighley and Ilkley. Pop your postcode into the checker on this page to confirm.
How much does an EV charger cost to install in Bradford?
Our RiponEV Pro smart charger is £1,195 fully installed with up to 10m of cable. Longer runs are £100 per extra 5m up to 20m. You get a fixed price after the survey, so there are no surprises on the day.
Can I get the OZEV grant?
The OZEV EV chargepoint grant gives up to £500 per socket to renters, flat owners, landlords and workplaces. Homeowners in a house with their own drive aren’t eligible. We check your eligibility and handle the claim for you as an OZEV approved installer (no. 13887).
How long does installation take?
Most home installs are done in a single visit. Jobs needing a consumer unit upgrade or long cable runs can take longer, and we tell you that at survey stage.
Do I need a survey first?
Yes. You can book a short video survey at a time that suits you. We look at your consumer unit, meter position and where the car parks, then give you a fixed written price.
Does the charger work with Intelligent Octopus Go?
No, our chargers aren’t compatible with Intelligent Octopus Go. They work with timed EV tariffs such as standard Octopus Go: you set the charge schedule in the app to match your cheap-rate hours.
I don’t have a driveway. Can I still charge at home?
Often, yes. We’re a Kerbo Charge partner installer. Kerbo Charge fits a cross-pavement channel so your cable runs safely across the pavement, and they manage the council application. Once your council approves it, we fit the charger. Households with only on-street parking can also claim a government cross-pavement grant of up to £500 until 31 March 2027. It depends on your council and street, so we check before you commit.
Who will install it?
A SmartWired electrician who holds the Level 3 EV charging qualification. We’re NAPIT approved and TrustMark registered, and we’ve been trading for over 20 years.
