Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a familiar sight in Harlow.
EV Charger Installations in Harlow — Bringing Reliable Home Charging to You
From commuters driving into London to families making the switch to greener motoring, more and more households are choosing electric. With that choice comes the need for fast, safe, and convenient home charging — and that’s where we come in.
At JJB EV, part of JJB Electrical Ltd, we specialise in EV charger installations in Harlow and across Essex. We don’t just install chargers — we provide a complete service to make sure your home is ready for the future of driving.
Why Harlow is Switching to Electric
Harlow is a town that’s always evolving. From its origins as a post-war new town to today’s vibrant community, it’s home to a mix of historic neighbourhoods, modern developments, and business hubs. With excellent transport links and a growing focus on sustainability, it’s no surprise that EV ownership is on the rise.
But while public charging points are popping up in shopping centres and car parks, nothing beats the convenience of plugging in your car at home overnight. Whether you live in a family home in Church Langley, a flat in the town centre, or a newer build on the edge of Harlow, a dedicated EV charger makes life much easier.
The Benefits of Installing a Home EV Charger
Convenience, no more waiting around at public charging stations. Speed, our chargers typically deliver 7kW of power, giving a full charge overnight compared to 24+ hours with a three-pin plug. Safety, as fully qualified electricians, we make sure your installation meets UK safety standards and protects both your car and home. Cost savings, smart chargers can be set to run overnight, taking advantage of cheaper off-peak tariffs. Future-proofing, by upgrading your home now, you’ll be ready for additional EVs, solar panels, or even battery storage in the future.
How Our Installation Process Works
We make the process of installing an EV charger in Harlow simple and stress-free:
- Survey & consultation, we look at your home, your existing electrics, and your car’s requirements.
- Recommendations, we guide you to the right charger, whether that’s the popular Ohme Home Pro, Hypervolt, or another trusted model.
- Installation, we fit the charger neatly, run cables with minimal disruption, and carry out any necessary upgrades.
- Testing & certification, we test everything thoroughly and provide you with certification for peace of mind.
- Handover, we show you how to use your new charger so you can get the most from it straight away.
Sometimes we find that homes need a little extra work before the charger can be fitted. That could mean a consumer unit upgrade or even a full rewire in older properties. As experienced electricians, we handle all of that in-house, so you don’t need to worry about arranging separate contractors.

A Local Example
Recently, we installed an EV charger for a family in Church Langley who had just bought their first electric vehicle. Their existing fuse board was outdated, so we carried out a consumer unit replacement at the same time, adding surge protection to keep their new charger safe.
They now enjoy fast overnight charging, lower fuel costs, and peace of mind knowing the installation was carried out properly by local professionals.
