EV Charger Installation in Knottingley
Around eight miles east of our Hemsworth base and covered by the WF11 postcode, Knottingley sits on the River Aire at the eastern edge of the Wakefield district, roughly three miles from Pontefract. The town holds a unique place in Britain's industrial story: adjacent Kellingley Colliery was the very last deep coal mine in the United Kingdom, closing in December 2015 with the loss of around 2,500 jobs. Unlike many pit towns, though, Knottingley kept a second industrial string to its bow, and glass manufacturing, established here in the Victorian era, remains a mainstay alongside chemicals and riverside haulage. The housing stock reflects that working heritage: rows of terraced homes, post-war council-built estates and pockets of newer development, giving a good spread of roofs for solar. For Knottingley homeowners, many adjusting after the end of local mining, solar panels and battery storage offer a dependable route to lower bills and greater energy independence, while the town's M62 access is helping drive EV adoption and demand for home chargers. As part of the City of Wakefield, whose district climate action programme has supported domestic renewables, Knottingley residents benefit from having a genuinely local, NICEIC-approved and Tesla-certified installer under twenty minutes away for surveys, installs and ongoing support.

What Our Customers Say
James handled a complex EV charger installation with real professionalism. Everything was explained clearly, the work was tidy, and the charger was up and running same day. Couldn't ask for more.
Sean K.
Had a Zappi charger installed alongside our existing solar panels. James made sure it was configured to use surplus solar first. Charging our car for free most of the summer. Amazing.
Linda C.
Had solar panels and an EV charger installed at the same time. The team were efficient, tidy, and left everything spotless. Now running my car on sunshine. Best investment I've made for the house.
