Here's what Hive customers think
Frequently asked questions
What is a standard installation?
If you’re buying a charger and installation through ChargedEV, find out more on ChargedEV’s website here.
If not, for example you've been referred to Hive by one of our industry partners, or are having a British Gas arranged install, a standard install is this:
Our standard installation includes a remote home check (if required) plus EV charger installation by a certified approved engineer:
Your Hive EV charger attached to an accessible external wall
10m of charger supply cabling (Tuffex) connected (with a maximum of 5m internal)
1 external wall breakthrough
Matt:e O:Pen and load management / curtailment device fitted (where appropriate)
3-year warranty on the charger and installation
If our engineer finds anything that needs further investigation, or additional work, during your installation, they'll let you know what needs to happen next before they can continue.
How will I know if I am having a ‘standard’ install?
If you’re buying a charger and installation through ChargedEV, find out more on ChargedEV’s website here.
If not, for example you've been referred to Hive by one of our industry partners, British Gas will conduct a no obligation virtual survey of your home so we will know if it's suitable for a standard installation. If your home requires additional works before a charger can be installed, British Gas will provide you with a quote detailing what needs doing, along with the associated costs. If you choose not to go ahead, we can cancel your order and will refund your deposit.
I'm an installer. What should I know before completing the installation?
You must:
- Be a suitable qualified electrician with relevant training, qualifications and / or certifications to complete the work
Complete the installation in accordance with:
Any applicable laws and / or regulations including, but not limited to, IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installations
Distribution Network Operator (DNO) requirements. DNO approval or acknowledgement must be obtained before or after the installation.
Provide the following to the user or property developer after the installation:
BS7671 Electrical Installation Certificate
DNO approval or acknowledgement
Is the charger controlled via WiFi or a mobile network?
The Hive EV charger connects via WiFi and a GPRS mobile network - this means if your internet is down or Wi-Fi signal is poor, you’ll still be able to connect to your charger. If you live in an area with poor mobile signal, please flag this during the Virtual Home Check. We’ll then be able to advise if Hive EV charging is the right solution for you.
What is a Matt:e R or Matt:e T device?
The Matt:e device measures the voltage of your EV charge point to make sure it stays within a pre-set, safe operating limit. If the Matt:e device detects voltage outside of this range, it may result in a loss of effective earth. If this happens, the Matt:e device will disconnect the charger to ensure that customers are not at risk.
What is a Load Management Device?
A domestic property has a maximum load allowable by the Distribution Network Operator (normally 60, 80 or 100 amps). Where you can’t upgrade the allowable load of the home further, an electrical services upgrade or Load Management Device is needed.
Getting a Load Management Device allows you to install an EV Charger when you would otherwise be unable to under the normal allowable load.
What is a DNO and how can I tell who my DNO is?
DNO stands for Distribution Network Operator. These are the organisations who are licensed to distribute electricity in the UK. DNOs own and operate the system of cables, towers and substations that bring electricity from the national network to our homes and businesses.
You can find out who your local DNO is by typing in your postcode on the Energy Networks website.
Why does the DNO need to know about my charger installation?
If you’re buying a charger and installation through ChargedEV, they will inform you of any relevant information.
If not, for example you've been referred to Hive by one of our industry partners, or are having a British Gas arranged install, the following information is for you:
All electric vehicle charge point installers need consent from the Distribution Network Operator. As such, British Gas must report planned electrical work to gain permission to add more electrical load to the area.
Our team will calculate the increased load your EV charger will need in your home and therefore your local area.
Depending on your home we may need to check in advance if that is okay with DNO (although in 70% of cases we can do this after the installation).
For DNO checks needed in advance of your install, we will handle the initial DNO submission for you. After the initial submission to the DNO, the DNO will work with you direct to make sure we can fit the EV charger. This may involve additional assessments or even upgrade work. We will stay in touch with you along the way to ensure the DNO are progressing with your application.
What happens on the day of my install?
If you’re buying a charger and installation through ChargedEV, find out more on ChargedEV’s website here.
If not, for example you've been referred to Hive by one of our industry partners, the following information is for you:
We’ll agree a date with you for your installation and confirm this by email along with the time when the engineer will arrive. Installation can time vary, but please allow around half a day. The engineer will call ahead to let you know they’re on the way.
To make sure your install goes ahead smoothly, it's best to carry out these checks before the engineer arrives:
If you don’t already have the Hive app, we would advise you download it prior to the installation day to your smart phone or device as the engineer will talk you through how we pair your new charger to the app.
Make sure someone over 18 is available to meet our engineer, answer any questions and stay with them throughout the appointment.
The engineer may need to switch off your electricity supply to install your charger. So, it's a good idea to switch off any appliances or electronic equipment that may be affected, including any household alarms, before we start your installation.
Make sure there's clear access to the area where you want the charger installed. For example, we'll need to access any locked gates or cupboards.
Please make sure young children and pets are kept safely out of the way.
The engineer will also check any additional work that has has been completed by a third party as we'll need to check it before we install your charger. If our engineer finds anything that needs further investigation during your appointment, they'll let you know what needs to happen next before we continue with your installation.
What if I need to change the date of my installation?
If you’re buying a charger and installation through ChargedEV, find out more on ChargedEV’s website here, or contact them on 0330 043 1851.
If not, for example you've been referred to Hive by one of our industry partners, or are having a British Gas arranged install, the following information is for you:
If you need to reschedule, please call our EV team on 0333 202 1054* (you can find our latest opening hours here) and they'll help you arrange an alternative date.
Is there a warranty on the charger?
Yes, we provide a British Gas backed warranty on the charger. Full details can be found in the Warranty section of our Hive EV Charger Terms & Conditions.
Who are ChargedEV and what happens if I want to buy a charger with installation?
If you choose to buy a charger with installation, we’ll introduce you to ChargedEV. You will purchase both the charger and installation directly from them. Hive is not involved in this process, and all terms are between you and ChargedEV.
Do I get a warranty if I buy my charger and installation through ChargedEV?
If you buy your charger and installation through ChargedEV, you’ll get ChargedEV’s warranty. All warranty terms are agreed directly with ChargedEV and not with Hive.

Find out moreSavings based on charging at home during off‑peak hours on the Hive EV tariff with Power+. Compared with average UK public charging costs across all speeds (Q4 2025), home charging can be around 90% cheaper.
Based on the UK average takeaway coffee price of around £4.13 per cup as of 2026.
Prices shown are estimated for a standard installation. Final installation costs may vary depending on the charger type, required cable length, your home’s layout, and whether additional electrical work, such as bonding or internal wall routing, is needed. Your installer will review your details after you submit your request and provide a personalised quote for fitting your Hive EV charger.
Power+ is only available for customers with a compatible EV charger and a British Gas electricity tariff with a smart meter in credit mode. Based on our assumed efficiency conversion of 3.3 miles/kwh, savings assume that you are on the British Gas EV Power Mar27 tariff (as of 16/03/2026) and all charging is in Power+ mode in your off peak period. If on a Time of Use tariff, we will only charge your EV during the off-peak window while in the Power+ schedule mode. For full details please see Power+ Terms & Conditions.
Based on internal Hive EV charger user data, correct as of March 2026.
Your £20 charging credit equates to an average of 100 miles of free charging. That assumes 4 miles per kWh (based on a Volkswagen ID3) at 81p per kWh via a rapid or ultra rapid charger, as per Zapmap’s 2025 price index. Actual mileage may vary depending on your vehicle capacity.
Price shown is for the untethered charger only and excludes installation, accessories, and optional extras such as additional charging cables.
Warranty is subject to terms, conditions and proper use of the product. See full warranty details in our Hive EV Charging Installation Terms & Conditions.
