Dual EV Charger Installation in Milton Keynes
With two electric cars on the drive, one charger means swapping cables or a car that isn't ready in the morning. A dual setup gives both cars a charge point, with load management so the two don't overload your home's supply.
Now EV installs dual EV charging across Milton Keynes. We're based in Leighton Buzzard, around 12 miles from central Milton Keynes, and as NAPIT registered installers we've fitted over 700 EV chargers.
Ways to charge two cars at home
Two chargers sharing the supply. Two Type 2 units, sometimes called a twin installation, linked so they balance the available power between them. Each car gets its own charger and its own schedule.
A second charger next to your existing one. If your current charger can link with a new unit, we add a second and set up load management across both.
Taking turns overnight. In some homes, a smart schedule that charges one car and then the other on your off-peak tariff is the simplest answer.
Why load management matters
Two chargers running at once, alongside an electric shower or oven, can push a home close to its main fuse limit. Load management uses a CT clamp to measure what the house is using and turns the chargers down when demand is high, then back up when it drops. It often means you can add a second charger without upgrading your supply.
Chargers that work well in pairs
Easee chargers can share a single circuit and balance power between units. The Tesla Wall Connector and Wallbox chargers also offer power sharing. If one car needs a different cable, an untethered charger lets each driver plug in the cable that suits their car.

Two-car charging in Milton Keynes
Census 2021 figures show Milton Keynes households skew towards families with dependent children, with an average household size above the England average. Where a family runs two cars, say one for the commute and one for school runs and clubs, and both are electric, two charge points sharing the supply means both are ready in the morning without anyone swapping cables at bedtime.
Dual EV charger FAQs
Will I need a bigger electricity supply?
Not usually. Load management lets two chargers share the supply you already have. We check your main fuse and household demand first.
Can I add a second charger next to my existing one?
Often, yes, depending on the existing charger. If it can't link with a new unit, we'll explain your options.
Can both cars charge at the same time?
Yes, though they share the available power. Each car may charge more slowly while the house is using a lot of electricity.
Can each car have its own schedule?
Yes. With two smart chargers, each car can follow its own schedule in the app.
Does each charger need its own circuit?
Not always. Some chargers, such as Easee, can share a single circuit and balance power between units. We check your consumer unit first and tell you whether a new circuit is needed.
