There is no doubt that electric vehicles are the future. As more and more hybrid and fully electric cars are sold and plans to phase out new combustion-engine vehicles should conclude in 2035, the electric vehicle industry doesn’t look set to go away anytime soon.
Refuelling your electric car is the biggest difference for most road users once they make the switch – as drivers omit public petrol or diesel garages, instead relying on busy public EV chargers or a home charger of their very own.
Our online shop has a full range of charging equipment on offer, including:
- Charging accessories, such as carry bags
- Type 1, Type 2, and 3-pin charging cables
- Tethered and untethered cables
For every make and model of electric car on the market.
This ensures every type of EV charger you might need is accessible and ready for you to use – making sure you are not going to be caught out and about in your electric vehicle without enough power for any reason.

Factors That Can Influence Your Decision
Now that we have run through some of the top providers out there, you may want to know a few of the main factors that you can compare and contrast to help you settle on the right decision for your EV charger installer.
Electric Vehicle Specialisation
Some charging point providers work on a commercial basis with a wide selection of different vehicles, whereas others are mainly focused on a more limited type of electric vehicle.
It is prudent to choose a provider that is used to working with the same type of vehicle that you drive, as they will be more likely to be able to thoroughly explain the process and troubleshoot if the situation arises.
Reputation
In our list of the best providers, we have tried to only select those with a high-quality reputation that we believe can be relied upon.
We would always recommend reading individual reviews to get a better picture of the charging point installers’ quality and customer service.
The general pattern of reviews can tell you a lot about the company and should let you know whether you should trust them and proceed or look elsewhere.
Location
While these are all businesses that are based in Greater Manchester and the surrounding area, there are inevitably going to be some that are more easily accessible to your home location than others.
Therefore, it may well be worth double-checking that you are within their servicing range when you contact them to enquire about EV chargers to avoid disappointment.
Business Size
There are many different advantages and disadvantages involved in choosing a small or a large company, so it can be hard to know which to choose.
Starting off with small businesses, you can often get a better level of service, but they may not be able to fit you in when you would like.
As for larger companies, they often have a greater capacity for installation, but you may not get the same level of personalised service – something that is worth considering when you are choosing a charging point installer.
Price
While price is not necessarily the be-all and end-all, it is a good idea to get a number of different quotes from a range of charging point suppliers to properly compare the services you are considering.
This will help to check whether you will recieve the same inclusions from every provider, while also ensuring you are getting the same value for money if you are working on a tight budget.
