Simpson & Partners Home 7

Yes! The Simpson partners home 7 can be brought as a three phase charger (called the Home 22kW Plus).

Please keep in mind however that you will need a three phase power supply at your property before you can charge at three phase speeds.

Yes. The Home 7kW has an IP rating of 54, meaning that the charge point is protected against dust as well as water splashes (rain) from all directions.

The durable metal front is also built to be rust resistant.

Yes, the Simpson Partners Home 7 comes in a choice of 14 different fronts and eight different colour lids which are either accoya wood or metal.

View them for yourself by clicking "build your home 7" at the top of this page.

The Home 7 untethered uses a universal socket meaning that both Type 1 and Type 2 cables can be used, so all electric vehicles are supported.

The tethered version of the Home 7 EV charger however only comes with a type 2 cable.

The Simpson Partners Home 7 untethered does not come with a cable out of the box, however, you can order an extra long 10m cable from our cable shop.

The tethered Home 7 however comes with a choice of 6.8m or 9.6m cable lengths.

The energy manager allows the home 7 charger to monitor the energy usage of your home and adjust its charging rate so as to prevent your power supply from tripping.

This feature is known as load management or load balancing.

You will also need an energy manager if you want to have the solar monitor installed alongside your EV charging point.

The wired energy manager requires an extra cable feeding from your home charger to your power supply, which might look unsightly if they are both a long way from each other.

The wireless energy manager however does the same job as the wired energy manager but wirelessly using a radio signal.

If your home EV charging point is less than 10 metres away from your property's power supply, then we recommend going with the wired energy manager as it's cheaper and easier to hide the cable route.

Yes but only if you opt for the home 7 plus or home 22kW plus, and add the wireless energy manager and solar monitor to your install on the "build your home 7" screen.

Yes, you can.

Please be aware however that only the home 7kW plus or home 22kW Plus are compatible with the energy manager and solar energy monitor.

Yes, as standard, all simpson partners home ev chargers comes with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty.

Smart Home Charge also provides a one-year installation warranty.

The Easee One offers a more sleek and subtle design to the Home series charger whilst also featuring the ability to switch between being a tethered and untethered unit.

If smart software is what you are after with your home EV charger, then we reccomend taking a look at the Ohme Home Pro or ePod, both of which come installed with Ohme's class-leading software.

Simpson and Partners has issued a statement of compliance for the Home 7, which can be found here.

Many customers will not need any upgrades to their electricity supply before having an EV charger installed. All installers are however required to notify the local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) of any EV charger installations, who will advise you and us if an upgrade to your property’s main fuse is necessary. This depends on your property’s “maximum demand” estimate, (which is submitted by our in-house technicians to your DNO as part of our process), the size of the main fuse or if your property is on a looped supply (connected to your neighbour). Any potential works will be handled by your DNO and they will contact you directly if this is the case.

If you have an EV or plug-in hybrid, or have one on order, then you are ready to get a charger installation quote. Simply choose the electric car charger you like the look of and select "Request a Quote" at the top of this page. Don't worry if you're not 100% sure on the charger - there will be time to swap this before payment if your change your mind.

Every installation is unique, which is why we ask you to complete our remote Online Site Survey. We need to properly assess the work involved in order to give you an accurate and honest quote. Our website prices are meant to be a guide and show the minimum cost for an installation of each particular charger. So, that means the quote we email to you may be different to the price on the website.

Typically this is one to four weeks after payment. The main factors that affect your installation date are your remote site survey completion time and whether your DNO needs to complete any upgrades to your electricity supply before we install your charger. We keep you updated at each stage of the process, but you can help keep things moving by completing your remote site survey quickly.

You can still get an installation from us even if you can’t find your vehicle on our website. Simply “Request a Quote” for the charger you like and tell us which vehicle you have in the quote form. Our EV database is updated regularly but are not meant to be a definitive guide – there are simply too many new EVs and plug-in hybrids being launched for us to keep up!

Smart Home Charge is a nationwide installer, covering England, Scotland and Wales. We have experienced engineers covering all major cities and regions. Find out if we install EV chargers in your area with our location checker.

Yes. Our engineers will complete the initial setup and pairing of the charger app with the charge point itself as this is considered as part of the installation. However, the engineers are not required to demonstrate how the app works or set up any schedules for you. Visit our EV charger support section for useful tips and troubleshooting.

Yes we can. We are however unable to apply for the grant on your behalf. For more information on the grants that the government has to offer and how to apply for them, please check out our grants and incentives guide.

As an installer, Smart Home Charge does not approve or reject your claim and a successful charger installation does not mean your claim was approved. It can take up to three months post installation for confirmation of approval or rejection of your claim from the Government.
