EV Charger Installations in Hertford — Powering the Future of Driving

From the bustling town centre to the leafy suburbs, more and more homeowners are making the switch to electric motoring. With this comes a growing demand for reliable, convenient, and safe EV charger installations at home.

At JJB EV, part of JJB Electrical Ltd, we specialise in EV charger installations in Hertford and across Hertfordshire. Our mission is simple: to help you charge your car quickly, safely, and efficiently, right on your own driveway.

In this blog, we’ll explore why now is the perfect time to install an EV charger in Hertford, what the process involves, the benefits of home charging, and why local homeowners trust us with their installations.

Why Hertford is Driving Electric

Hertford, the county town of Hertfordshire, combines historic charm with modern living. Its winding streets, independent shops, and stunning riverside walks make it a fantastic place to live. But it’s also ideally located for commuters, with easy access to London and nearby towns.  With increasing numbers of residents choosing Teslas, BMW i-series, Nissan Leafs, and other EVs, the need for home charging solutions is clear. Public charging points are useful, but nothing beats the convenience of plugging in overnight at home.  For homeowners in Hertford, whether in period townhouses, semi-detached family homes, or new-build properties, installing a dedicated EV charger is becoming a must.

The Benefits of Installing a Home EV Charger

1. Convenience, No more detours to find a public charging point. With a home charger, your car is always ready when you need it.
2. Speed, Domestic chargers typically deliver 7kW of power, far quicker than a standard three-pin plug, which can take more than 24 hours for a full charge.
3. Safety, A professionally installed charger ensures your electrical system is protected, and that charging is safe for both your vehicle and your home.
4. Energy Savings, Smart chargers allow you to take advantage of off-peak tariffs. Combine this with solar panels or battery storage in the future, and you can power your car with clean, low-cost energy.

A Local Example

One recent installation we completed in Hertford involved fitting an Ohme Home Pro charger for a family who had just purchased their first Tesla. Their existing fuse board needed upgrading, so we carried out a consumer unit replacement and installed surge protection for peace of mind.  The result? A neat, reliable, and future-proofed installation and a very happy customer.
