“Replaced three separate apps with Elec-Mate. Certs, quotes, and scheduling all in one place.”
Daniel Palmer — DP Electrical
York is one of England's most historic cities and has set one of the UK's most ambitious local authority net zero targets, committing to becoming carbon neutral by 2030. City of York Council has invested in expanding the public EV charging network across car parks, on-street locations, and park-and-ride sites. Despite this, home EV charging in York remains the most cost-effective and convenient charging option for residents with off-street parking.
Whether you live in the city centre, in one of York's historic suburbs, or in the surrounding North Yorkshire villages, a 7kW home EV charger provides significant cost savings and the convenience of waking up each morning to a fully charged vehicle.

The OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant reduces the upfront cost of a home EV charger by up to £350 for eligible York residents. Your OZEV-approved installer applies the grant and deducts it from your invoice — no waiting for reimbursement.
A home EV charger installation in York follows the same five-step process as all UK installations, with specific considerations for York's historic housing stock and Northern Powergrid's PME supply arrangements.
York EV charger installation costs are competitive with other Northern England cities, benefiting from lower regional labour rates than London and the South East.
Obtain two or more written, itemised quotes from OZEV-approved York installers. Ensure all costs are included and the OZEV grant deduction is shown separately where you are eligible.
York has one of the highest concentrations of listed buildings and conservation areas in England. This creates specific planning considerations for EV charger installation that do not apply in most other UK cities.

Elec-Mate is my go to app for business and electrical work. It's feature rich without feeling cluttered. A true all in one app for quotes, certs, calculations, RAMS, EICRs, and more. I use it every day without fail, and it makes my workflow much smoother since I'm not jumping between apps anymore. The price-to-feature ratio is excellent. Any issues I've had, the developer responds within the hour and usually fixes them the same day. 100% recommend.
I've used the app and the web based version for a while now and it's well worth the investment. If you're an apprentice or experienced Spark give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
I've been using Elec-Mate for a while now, and honestly, it's one of the best apps I've ever downloaded. Every aspect of it feels thoughtfully designed, from the clean and intuitive interface to the powerful features that make everything so easy to manage. It's clear that a lot of care and attention went into building this app, and it shows in every detail.
