EV charger quotes

Fitting a home charge point, usually on an outside wall or on a post near where you park.

Is your property suitable?

Anywhere with off-street parking. The real question is not whether it can be done, but where the unit should go. Work out where you park, which side of the car the socket is on, and whether the cable will reach comfortably without crossing a path or stretching over the drive.

Typical cost range

£910 – £1,805

Excludes VAT.

This is the install with the fewest surprises. Most firms price it as a fixed quote rather than an estimate, and the work takes somewhere between one and five hours depending on the location and how complex the unit is. A basic charger goes in quickly; an app controlled one with a smarter system takes longer.

What to ask before hiring

Ask whether your consumer unit needs upgrading and whether that is in the price. Ask how long the cable run is and whether that changes the cost. Ask what happens if the installer arrives and finds something unexpected.

Red flags

A quote given without anyone asking where your consumer unit is or how far the cable has to run. No certification. Any suggestion the work does not need notifying.

When the quotes come in

Almost nobody publishes what these jobs settle at, because the people writing about them are the people doing the quoting. If you go ahead, come back and tell us what you accepted. It takes less than 3 minutes, and it is the only way this page ever carries real numbers instead of estimates.

Common questions

How long does installation take?

Usually between one and five hours, depending on where the charger goes and how complex the unit is. A basic charger goes in quickly; an app controlled one with a smarter system takes longer.

Where should the charger go?

Think about where you park, which side of the car the socket is on, and whether the cable will reach comfortably without crossing a path or stretching over the drive. It is far cheaper to solve before the installer arrives than afterwards.

Will my consumer unit need upgrading?

Sometimes. Ask whether it is needed and whether it sits inside the quoted price or is extra, because it is one of the few things that moves an otherwise fixed price.

Are these quotes fixed or estimates?
