Sometimes issues arise on the day that mean we can’t complete your install on our first visit, but if we know about any potential issues in advance or if you have particular requirements, we can often resolve them beforehand.
So for the best experience, if you think there’s any reason why we might not be able to complete your install on the day, please let us know.
If you are not sure your cabling will be up to the standard to accept the Wallpod then sending us a picture of your consumer unit in advance may help.
Our Full Terms and Conditions are available here.
You may have specific requirements – you might want the Wallpod located on a pole or on a wall that means cabling needs to go underground.
We can help with all of this and most requirements can be sorted out over the phone in advance of installation so that we can give you a firm price for undertaking the work. We find that photographs of your requirements often really help here.
If things are not as expected when we arrive on site or you would like changes to what we have agreed then, again we can help, and we will give you a firm price before we commence work.
Our aim is to make the installation as smooth as possible for your and to make sure we achieve exactly what you want.
The answer to this is simple – just order your Wallpod with us at EV Camel and we’ll do the rest. We assess and confirm you are eligible and then we sort out all the paperwork to make the installation as smooth as possible – you’ll only need to pay us the balance of the costs of installation.

Yes – as long as you are to have the car for a minimum of 6 months, then a claim can be made for you to have a charge point installed. We can help the homeowner or company fleet manager organise all of this.
Whilst we offer site surveys for all commercial installations, its generally not cost effective to do so for domestic installations as we want to keep our costs to you down.
We do undertake a remote survey in advance of your installation. Our Charge Point installer will then conduct a site survey on arrival at your home to make sure that your requirements can be met and any issues are generally resolved at that time.
The Rolec Wallpod is robust, waterproof and suitable for putting on an external wall. Please note the tethered cable is a industry standard 5m so think about where your car will be parked when you decide where you would like the charge point installed.
We can supply longer charge cables if needed – see Accessories.
We can also install charge points on a post with underground cables, although this is at extra cost.
If you live in a house without a driveway you may possibly get help from your Local Authority – we can help with this if you get in touch.
A standard installation usually takes around 3 hours depending on, for example, how straightforward the cable runs are. We will let you know if it is likely to take longer when we arrive at your home.
This is certainly possible and if you would like to do this we would be pleased to provide a quotation.
The Government offers £350 per socket for companies that want to install charging points for their employees. It is a voucher based scheme and needs to be applied for prior to the installation of the EV charging points. There is a cap on the claim of 40 sockets per company and various other eligibility criteria. EV Camel can advise and assist with the scheme.
