Choosing the best EV charger in Blackpool can feel like a big decision. With more people switching to electric vehicles and wanting reliable, future-proof charging at home, the right charger is more important than ever. Above all at West Coast Electrical, we supply and install smart, efficient EV chargers across Blackpool and the surrounding areas. Our go-to brands are Hypervolt and Ohme, two of the most trusted names in the EV industry. We also install other leading charger brands, depending on what works best for your home setup.
Why the Best EV Charger Matters
Not all EV chargers are created equal. Some are packed with smart features, however others are designed to be simple and robust. As a result the best charger for your needs depends on your car, home electrics, budget and whether you want to integrate solar or battery storage later on. Choosing a reliable model with smart tariff compatibility can help you save money and future-proof your system.
Hypervolt: A Standout Choice
We regularly install the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro and for good reason. It’s one of the most advanced and well-built home chargers available and it comes with some powerful features:
• Available in black, white or grey to suit your home
• Built-in Wi-Fi and 4G options for easy remote access
• Integrated load management to prevent overloading your fuse
• CT clamp included to measure energy usage in real-time
• Solar compatibility and smart tariff ready
• Stylish design with a robust IP66 rating for weatherproofing
• Type 1 and Type 2 cable options
What really sets Hypervolt apart is how smart it is. It won’t allow you to charge beyond your property’s capacity, thanks to built-in protection. Additionally, it connects seamlessly with smart tariffs to take advantage of lower energy rates – helping you save even more money.

Ohme: Simple, Smart and Reliable
The Ohme Home Pro is another charger we install frequently. It’s an excellent choice for drivers looking for a cost-effective charger that still offers great smart features. Key highlights include:
• Compact design that’s easy to install and use
• Built-in LCD screen for clear display
• Smart charging schedules based on your energy tariff
• App control with real-time updates and charging history
• Compatible with all major EV models
Ohme is particularly popular with drivers on variable energy tariffs. With its built-in smart technology, you can schedule your EV to charge when electricity is cheapest – usually overnight.

How to Choose the Best EV Charger in Blackpool
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but here are a few things to consider:
• Your home’s fuse board and electrical capacity – Hypervolt is ideal if you’re concerned about load management.
• Whether you want to integrate with solar – Hypervolt can pair well with solar and battery setups.
• Your energy tariff – Ohme is excellent if you’re on a smart tariff like Octopus Go or EDF’s EV rates.
• Where you want the charger installed – We’ll assess your home layout and advise on the best setup.
We’ll always carry out a full site survey and recommend the right charger based on your needs. And because we’re NICEIC registered and TrustMark approved, all installations are done safely and to a high standard.

Installation Done Right
At West Coast Electrical, we take pride in our clean and tidy installations. Our team is fully qualified and experienced in fitting chargers safely and discreetly. We also handle DNO notifications and testing so everything is compliant and hassle-free for you.
If you’re having other work done – like a fuse box upgrade or rewiring, we can combine your EV charger install with that project to save you time and cost.
What Else Should You Know?
• For example smart tariff charging is often the most cost-effective option. Charging your EV overnight when rates are cheaper (around 7p per kWh) can save you significantly.
• Hypervolt and Ohme chargers both come with 3-year warranties for peace of mind.
• Additionally, we can also support integration with solar PV and battery storage if that’s something you’d like to plan for in the future.
Energy tariffs and rates vary between providers and may change over time. Always check with your energy supplier for the most up-to-date information.
Choosing a Local Installer Matters
That said, when it comes to EV charger installation, choosing a local team like West Coast Electrical means you get tailored support, quick turnaround, and someone who knows your area. We work across Blackpool, Poulton-le-Fylde, Thornton-Cleveleys, Lytham St Annes and Preston, helping homeowners make the switch to electric.
