Future-proof your commercial premises with end-to-end EV charging solutions. We design, install, commission, and inspect commercial EV infrastructure for businesses, fleets, and property managers across North West England and UK-wide.
"Would highly recommend, very competitive pricing & very professional. Thanks again RC Compliance."
Mr. Whitlow
With over a decade of industry expertise, RC Compliance provides rapid, reliable commercial EV charging installation solutions for commercial properties, industrial sites, retail spaces, and landlords across Cheshire, the North West, and Nationwide.
Working alongside certified engineers, we manage the complete lifecycle—from initial Maximum Demand calculations and regional Distribution Network Operator (DNO) notifications to local isolation and earthing protection. We ensure all electric vehicle infrastructure deployments strictly comply with BS 7671 (18th Edition Amendment 2 - Section 722) standards and the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021. This delivers full Electrical Installation Certification (EIC), protects your duty holder obligations under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and guarantees your commercial property insurance remains 100% valid.
"Excellent service, we hope to work with RC Compliance Ltd more in the future. They turned around a few testing jobs for us quickly, and at a competitive price."

An inadequate or poorly planned charging setup can put your property infrastructure, business fleet operations, and electrical safety at serious risk. At RC Compliance, we specialise in deploying residential, commercial, and workplace EV charging point solutions quickly, safely, and efficiently across Cheshire, the North West, and Nationwide. Working alongside fully qualified, OZEV-approved engineers, we carry out precise electric vehicle infrastructure installations to ensure your premises achieve total compliance with BS 7671 (18th Edition) Wiring Regulations.
Yes. You must use a qualified, certified electrician who holds specific credentials for electric vehicle charging equipment installation. Additionally, if you plan to utilise government funding, your contractor must be an official OZEV-approved installer.
A standard 7.4kW home charge point with a basic cable run typically ranges between £700 and £1,200 total. The exact final pricing depends on your property layout, your fuse box capacity, and the distance between your consumer unit and the charger location.
Yes, but the criteria changed. Standard owner-occupiers with private driveways are no longer eligible for general home grants. However, the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant provides up to £500 per socket for renters, flat owners, landlords, and households with designated on-street parking.
Tethered: Features a permanently attached cable, meaning you just pull up and plug in.
Untethered: Features a flush socket with no permanent cable. You must supply your own separate loose cable, which some property owners prefer for a neater aesthetic.
A dedicated smart home EV charger supplies power at 7.4kW, which is roughly three times faster than a standard 3-pin domestic plug. This adds about 20–30 miles of range per hour, comfortably delivering a full overnight battery charge.
Yes. Eligible businesses, charities, and public sector organisations can utilise the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS). The current grant covers up to 75% of purchase and installation costs, capped at a maximum of £500 per socket across up to 40 sockets.
While standard buildings run on a single-phase supply, commercial properties rolling out rapid or multi-socket charging grids typically require a three-phase electricity supply. Our initial site survey determines if your system needs a Distribution Network Operator (DNO) load capacity upgrade.
In most standard business, industrial, or retail parking lot setups, EV chargepoint installations fall under permitted development rights, meaning full planning applications are not required. We verify local zoning, conservation area status, and property boundaries during your structural assessment.
Yes. Modern commercial smart chargers utilise back-end software systems that allow you to set distinct tariffs. You can offer complimentary power to your fleet or workforce while establishing a paid, revenue-generating tariff for visitors and public users.
Dynamic load balancing safely and automatically manages the distribution of electrical current to multiple plugged-in cars simultaneously. It monitors your facility’s building power demands in real-time, throttling charger speeds down when building consumption spikes to prevent overloading your mains fuse.
Modern smart EV chargers feature "load balancing" safety technology. The installer fits a small sensor next to your main domestic fuse that monitors your home's total power usage; if you turn on high-draw appliances like a power shower or oven, the charger automatically reduces its power temporarily to protect your fuse box from tripping.
AC (Alternating Current): Typically ranges from 7kW to 22kW. These are best for workplaces, hotels, or commuter car parks where vehicles stay parked for several hours or the entire day.
DC (Direct Current): Often called rapid or ultra-rapid chargers, ranging from 50kW to 350kW+. These bypass the car's internal converter to pump power directly to the battery, fully charging vehicles in 20 to 60 minutes—ideal for fleets, logistics, and roadside service stations.
Modern commercial installations utiliSe smart back-office management software. Every employee or fleet driver is issued an RFID card or a secure mobile app profile, which tracks every kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumed per vehicle, generating automated, HMRC-compliant monthly reports for easy expense claims and tax reporting.
Yes. Selecting "solar-compatible" smart commercial chargers allows you to integrate the system with existing on-site commercial solar arrays or commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS). The software can prioritize charging your fleet entirely from excess green energy, radically reducing your corporate grid consumption and operational costs.
To remain compliant and safe, commercial chargers should undergo an annual Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) inspection. This includes physical safety checks, electrical testing (insulation, grounding, and RCD tests), and routine firmware and software updates to ensure uninterrupted network uptime for your staff and customers.
A standard workplace installation with minimal groundworks can be completed in a single day. However, larger commercial rollouts involving trenching, structural civil works, or a Distribution Network Operator (DNO) power upgrade typically require 4 to 8 weeks of planning, grid approval, and deployment time.
