Leave home ready
Plug in on the driveway and let the charger work around the schedule you choose.
Home and commercial EV charger installation
Charge at home. Use more of your own energy.
REST installs Duracell and myenergi Zappi EV chargers for homes and suitable commercial sites, with solar-aware charging, smart scheduling and a cleaner way to arrive home ready for the next journey.
Why install a charger at home?
Your car charges while it is already parked.
A dedicated home EV charger gives you a safer, smarter and more convenient alternative to relying on public charging or a standard domestic socket.
Use spare solar
Compatible chargers can prioritise surplus generation when the vehicle is connected.
Charge at preferred times
Use smart scheduling to move charging into a chosen tariff window where available.
See and control charging
Use the relevant charger app to review status, schedules and charging activity.
OZEV chargepoint grants
Eligible customers may receive help with installation costs.
Government EV chargepoint support is now administered by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), although it is still commonly referred to as the OLEV grant. Current home and workplace schemes are scheduled to remain available until 31 March 2027, subject to eligibility and scheme rules.
Check current grant guidanceSmart charging, explained simply
Choose how the car should charge.
The charger can respond differently depending on whether the priority is spare solar, a scheduled tariff window or charging immediately.

Solar surplus
Put spare roof generation into the car.
When the home has surplus solar available, a compatible charger can direct that energy into the vehicle instead of drawing the full charging load from the grid.

Actual solar charging depends on generation, household demand, charger settings, the vehicle and the final REST system design.

EV charging questions
Simple answers before you choose a charger.
Yes. A compatible solar-aware charger can use available surplus generation when the vehicle is plugged in. The amount of solar charging available depends on weather, household demand, system size and charger settings.
No. REST can install an EV charger as a standalone system. Solar panels and battery storage simply create more options for using self-generated energy or scheduling charging around lower-cost tariff periods.
The result depends on the vehicle battery and its onboard charging limit. A 7 kW charger can add roughly 7 kWh of energy per hour when the vehicle and electrical supply can accept the full output.
A tethered charger has its charging cable permanently attached. An untethered charger uses a removable Type 2 cable. REST will confirm the suitable product and connection type for your vehicle and property.
Yes. Duracell and Zappi systems support app-led or scheduled charging features. This can help move charging into a preferred tariff window, subject to the chosen charger, tariff and final configuration.
Yes. REST can assess suitable residential and commercial charging projects, including three-phase requirements where appropriate. The final specification depends on the electrical supply, parking layout and intended usage.
