Frequently Asked Questions

Does Thorn Electrical cover areas outside Northampton?

Yes — Thorn Electrical typically covers a wide service area around Northampton. Contact them directly to confirm coverage for your specific location. Most of our OZEV-approved installers cover a radius of 20–50 miles from their base.

How long does a commercial EV charger installation take?

Most commercial installations take 1–2 days for a standard workplace installation. Larger fleet depot or multi-bay car park installations may take 3–5 days. A site survey is always conducted first to confirm timescales.

Can you handle the WCS grant application for us?

Yes — as an OZEV-approved installer, Thorn Electrical manages the entire Workplace Charging Scheme application process. The grant of up to £500 per socket is deducted directly from your invoice, so there is no upfront cost to you.

What happens with the DNO notification?

Your installer will submit the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) notification on your behalf. This is required for installations over 3.68kW and is handled as part of the standard installation process.

Is the installation Part P / Part S compliant?

All installations carried out by OZEV-approved installers comply with Part P (Electrical Safety) and Part S (Electric Vehicle Charging) Building Regulations, as well as IET Wiring Regulations (18th Edition).
