Home charger installation in Bilston
Our team works about 16 miles from our base in Tamworth, Staffordshire and fits chargers in Bilston every week, in Bradley, Ettingshall, Ladymoor, Coseley, Stowlawn, Priestfield, Moxley and Lanesfield and the streets around them.
Where you park on your own drive, the charger usually goes on the wall nearest your car, with a neat cable run back to the fuse board. Older properties sometimes need an earthing or consumer unit upgrade first, and we'll check that before the installation date.
Parking on the street? A charging cable can't cross the pavement without permission from City of Wolverhampton Council, so a home charger needs a space on your own land.
Why Octopus customers choose VCHRGD
- Directly integrated with Intelligent Octopus Go
- Octopus schedules charging through the charger, not your car's app
- Also works with other suppliers' EV tariffs
- Solar modes if you have panels
- Fitted, tested and certified by our NICEIC electricians
Covering WV14
Intelligent Octopus Go
How an Octopus compatible charger saves you money
On Intelligent Octopus Go you plug in and tell the Octopus app when you need the car ready. Octopus then charges it in the cheapest, greenest hours, usually overnight, at a rate far below the standard price of electricity.
With a VCHRGD charger, Octopus talks to the charger itself. That means it can work even if your car's own app isn't on Octopus's supported list, and you can still change the schedule or boost the charge from the VCHRGD app.
Tariff prices change, so check the latest rates and compatibility on Octopus Energy's website. Neither VCHRGD nor Able Electrician is paid by Octopus Energy.
No long waiting lists
Why wait months for your installation?
Some installers have waiting lists that run for months, so a new EV sits on the drive charging from a 3-pin plug, or you pay public charging prices in the meantime. We fit your charger in Bilston within days or a couple of weeks of booking, so you're on cheap overnight rates almost straight away.
How we keep it quick
- VCHRGD pass your booking straight to our local team
- Our own electricians, based nearby, not a national queue
- We don't overbook, so your date is kept

What our customers say
Octopus compatible chargers in Bilston: your questions
Do you install Octopus Energy compatible chargers in Bilston?
Yes. Able Electrician installs VCHRGD smart chargers across Bilston and the WV14 postcodes. VCHRGD chargers are directly integrated with Intelligent Octopus Go, so Octopus can schedule your charging for its cheapest overnight rate.
How do I book an installation in Bilston?
Book through VCHRGD online or call them on 01494 370523. They confirm the details with you and pass the job to us, and one of our NICEIC electricians fits the charger at your Bilston home.
Does my car need to be on Octopus's supported list?
Not usually. Because VCHRGD chargers connect to Intelligent Octopus Go directly, Octopus controls charging through the charger rather than your car's app. Octopus's online compatibility checker will confirm your setup before you switch.
I park on the street in Bilston. Can I still have a charger?
A charging cable can't be laid across the pavement without permission from City of Wolverhampton Council. If you have a driveway, garage or parking space on your own land, we can fit a charger there.
How soon can you install a charger in Bilston?
Usually within days or a couple of weeks of booking, not months. Our electricians are based about 16 miles away in Tamworth, Staffordshire, VCHRGD pass bookings straight to us, and we don't overbook.
How long does it take to fit a charger?
Most homes in Bilston take around half a day. We test and certify the charger, notify your network operator and set up the app with you before we leave.
I'm not with Octopus. Will the charger still save me money?
Yes. VCHRGD chargers also work with time-of-use EV tariffs from other suppliers, such as E.ON Next Drive and British Gas Electric Driver. You set the cheap hours in the VCHRGD app and the charger does the rest.
