Electric11 installed a tethered black Zappi EV charger at a home in the Watton and Thetford area, providing the customer with a convenient and protected home-charging point. The project included up to 15 metres of cabling from the first-floor consumer unit, dedicated circuit protection, surge protection and a Type A RCBO. This case study explains the installation process and shows the completed external wall-mounted charger.
Electric11 installed a tethered black Zappi EV charger at a home in the Watton and Thetford area, giving the customer a convenient dedicated charging point for everyday electric-vehicle use. The installation included a carefully planned cable route of up to 15 metres, additional circuit protection and a clean external wall-mounted finish.
The completed charger provides a more practical home-charging solution than relying on a standard domestic socket or making regular trips to public charging stations. Homeowners considering a similar installation can learn more about Electric11’s EV charger installation service in Watton.
The customer needed a tethered home charger positioned on the exterior wall beside the property’s access path. The charger needed to be easy to reach when the vehicle was parked while keeping the attached charging cable tidy and clear of the walkway.
The existing consumer unit was on the first floor, so the installation required a planned cable route down to the ground-floor charger location. The design also had to accommodate the protection needed for a dedicated EV charging circuit.
Electric11 supplied and installed a black tethered Zappi charger on the property’s brick exterior. The compact position near the corner of the house gives the customer straightforward access to the charger while avoiding unnecessary visual impact on the main elevation.
The tethered configuration keeps the Type 2 charging cable connected to the unit, making regular charging quicker because the customer does not need to retrieve and connect a separate cable each time.
For customers elsewhere in the surrounding area, Electric11 also provides EV charger installation in Thetford and across wider Norfolk.
The project included up to 15 metres of cabling between the first-floor consumer unit and the ground-floor charger position. The external cable route was secured neatly against the brickwork and planned around the property’s doors, windows and existing services.
The recorded scope also included:
These elements allow the charger to operate as a dedicated load rather than relying on a general-purpose socket circuit. Electric11’s wider home EV charger installation service includes assessment of the existing electrical supply, charger position, cable distance and any upgrade work required.
The finished installation gives the customer a dedicated home charging point positioned for convenient access. The black Zappi unit sits neatly against the brick exterior, while the tethered cable can be stored around the charger when it is not in use.
Subject to the confirmed model specification, a typical domestic 7 kW Zappi can provide substantially faster charging than a standard three-pin socket. The charger also supports scheduled charging and smart energy-management features, helping customers make better use of compatible off-peak electricity tariffs.

Home EV charger installation requires careful assessment of the electrical supply, charger position, cable route and circuit protection. For this Zappi installation, Electric11 planned a route between the first-floor consumer unit and the external ground-floor charging point.
Charger and Cable Route Assessment
The team reviews the existing electrical supply, proposed charger position, parking arrangement and available cable routes. For this project, the assessment included a cable run of up to 15 metres from the consumer unit to the external wall.
Electrical Design and Quotation
Electric11 defines the charger, cable route, protective devices and any consumer-unit alterations required. The customer receives a clear quotation outlining the installation scope before work begins.
Cabling, Protection and Installation
The electricians install the dedicated charger supply and mount the charging unit in the agreed position. This Zappi installation included external cabling, surge protection and Type A RCBO protection for the new circuit.
Final Checks and Customer Handover
The completed installation is inspected, tested and configured as required before handover. The customer is shown how to connect the vehicle, store the tethered cable and use the charger’s available smart-charging features.
A typical single-phase domestic Zappi is rated at 7 kW, although three-phase 22 kW models are also available. The available charging rate depends on the installed model, property supply and vehicle’s onboard charger.
The recorded project scope included Type A RCBO protection for the dedicated charger circuit. The final protective-device selection must be based on the installation design, charger specification and existing electrical system.
The project allowed for up to 15 metres of cabling between the first-floor consumer unit and the ground-floor charger location.
