Three-Phase EV Charger Installation in Milton Keynes
On a single-phase supply, a home charger tops out at 7.4kW. On a three-phase supply, a charger can deliver 11kW or 22kW, so the same car charges much faster, as long as the car can accept it.
Now EV installs three-phase EV chargers in Milton Keynes homes that have a three-phase supply. From our base in Leighton Buzzard, around 12 miles from central Milton Keynes, we've fitted over 700 EV chargers, and we're NAPIT registered.
Is three-phase charging right for you?
Check your supply. Most UK homes have a single-phase supply. A photo of your meter and main fuse tells us which you have.
Check your car. Many EVs accept up to 11kW on AC charging, and fewer accept 22kW. A 22kW charger can't charge faster than the car's on-board charger allows.
Check your routine. If the car is parked overnight, 7kW usually covers it. Faster charging helps if you cover high mileage or need quick top-ups between trips.
If your home is single-phase
Moving to a three-phase supply is arranged with your Distribution Network Operator (DNO), and it can mean new cabling to the property. It's a bigger job than fitting a charger, so we'll talk through whether it's worth it for your car and mileage before you commit. We'll tell you straight if a 7kW charger will do the job.

Three-phase charging in Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes was designated a new town in 1967, and most of its housing was built from the early 1970s onwards. Most UK homes, whatever their age, have a single-phase supply. So for most Milton Keynes drivers, the first question isn't which 22kW charger to buy; it's what the supply can support.
Three-phase EV charger FAQs
How do I know if I have three-phase power?
A three-phase supply usually has three main fuses rather than one. Send us a photo of your meter area and we'll confirm.
Will a 22kW charger charge my car at 22kW?
Only if your car's on-board charger accepts 22kW. Many accept 11kW on AC, so we check your car before recommending a charger.
Can I fit a three-phase charger now and upgrade my supply later?
Some chargers, including the Tesla Wall Connector, work on both single-phase and three-phase supplies. The wiring may need changing when the supply is upgraded.
Do you deal with the DNO?
Yes. We handle the DNO notification for your charger and talk you through the process if you need a supply upgrade.
Should I choose an 11kW or a 22kW charger?
It depends on your car. Many EVs accept up to 11kW on AC charging and fewer accept 22kW, so an 11kW charger often charges your car just as fast. We check your car's on-board charger before recommending one.
