What are the options for commercial EV fleet charging in Wells?

Commercial fleet charging in Wells typically uses 7kW Type 2 AC chargers per bay, or 22kW dual-phase where available. For large fleets, load management systems (dynamic load balancing) prevent overloading the site supply. We assess your supply capacity before specifying hardware.

Do I need a 3-phase supply for fleet EV charging?

Not always — single-phase 7kW chargers work for overnight charging. For faster charging (22kW) or multiple simultaneous users, 3-phase is required. We assess your current DNO supply, fuse rating, and available headroom before recommending an upgrade or smart load management.

Is OZEV workplace charging grant available for fleet charging?

OZEV's Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) offers up to £350 per socket (max 40 sockets per application) for businesses installing EV charge points. DS Electrical is an OZEV-authorised installer — we handle the application. The grant is claimed at point of installation, reducing your upfront cost.

How long does a commercial fleet charging installation take?

A 4-bay fleet charging installation (including distribution board upgrade and groundworks) typically takes 2–3 days. Larger installations with trenching and civil works are phased to keep some bays operational. We project-manage the full installation including DNO notification.

Local Knowledge · Wells

Why fleet EV in Wells needs a load assessment first

Wells is dense and small — the Cathedral / Market Place commercial core is mostly Grade II listed retail and offices on single-phase 100A heads with cable runs through period fabric, so dynamic load management is almost always the right answer over a DNO upgrade. The Strawberry Way trade park and Haybridge industrial units to the north have decent 3-phase headroom for fleet installs. Wells holiday-let / B&B operators around the Cathedral are increasingly asking for destination 7 kW chargers — most installs can sit on the existing supply with smart-tariff scheduling.

Older commercial board stock around Tucker Street frequently has split-load consumer units that don't meet BS 7671 18th Edition Amd 2 for new EV circuits — Type A RCBO is mandatory. Heritage cable runs in the Cathedral conservation area need careful planning for SWA visibility and listed-building consent.

Coverage area: Market Place, High Street, Cathedral Green, Tucker Street, Strawberry Way, Haybridge, St Thomas Street, Burcott, Wookey Hole, North Wootton, Easton, Croscombe, Coxley.
