Home charger in Idle & Thackley, Bradford
Charge on our drive
We’re a local family sharing our 7 kW charger with neighbours and visitors. Simple booking, clear prices, and a quiet cul-de-sac to pull into.
Why charge on our drive
-
Easy to reach
Quiet cul-de-sac in the Idle & Thackley area with a large double driveway and drop kerb. We send the exact address when you book.
-
7 kW charger
Park, plug in, and we switch the session on for the time we’ve agreed. Home charging without the faff.
-
Pay & refund
Bank transfer or cash before we start. If you arrive with more charge than we planned for, we refund the difference.
How it works
- Email us: your car and when you’d like to arrive.
- We send a quote: we look up your battery size and the charge level you want (many drivers stop at 80%), including our day and overnight rates.
- We confirm the booking: every visit is agreed with us in advance. Nothing is reserved until we reply.
- Pay upfront: bank transfer or cash before we start.
- Plug in on the drive: we approve each charge session manually before power flows, then our 7 kW charger runs for as long as we’ve planned.
- Afterwards: our app shows how much energy actually went into the car. If you arrived with charge already in the battery, we refund the difference.
Where we are
We’re on a residential street in the Idle and Thackley part of Bradford (BD10 postcode). For privacy we don’t publish our full address here; we share it once your booking is confirmed.

What it costs
We’re on a dual-rate tariff at home, so cheaper overnight electricity is passed on to you. Use the tool below for a rough idea. We’ll always confirm by email before you pay.
Example quote
Pick a car, arrival time, and how full you’d like to be when you leave.
Charge only during off-peak (midnight to 5am) at 31p. Up to 5 hours (about 35 kWh) per overnight session.
If you choose PeakSave only, please drop off after 10pm and collect by 9am the next morning so the drive stays free for us and other visitors. Every session needs our manual approval before charging starts; please stick to the arrival time we agree. If you arrive much earlier or later (for example in the small hours), we may not be awake to approve charging straight away.
Your estimate will appear here as you adjust the options.

Before you charge
We’re a family sharing our home charger, not a business. We don’t hold commercial insurance for public charging.
Any use of our driveway and charger is at your own risk. That includes your vehicle, belongings, and anyone with you. By booking or plugging in, you accept this.
We reserve the right to deny, refuse, or stop any charging request, whether it is still pending or already in progress.
Please make sure you’re comfortable with that, and that your own insurance and arrangements cover you, before you visit.
