EV Charger Installation FAQ
Everything you need to know about the cost and process of installing a home EV charging point.
A standard 7kW EV home charger installation with a straightforward cable run typically costs between £750 and £1,200, including the unit and labour. Costs rise if a consumer unit upgrade, longer cable run, or ground works are required.
A 22kW charger generally costs more to install than a 7kW unit because most UK homes only have a single-phase electricity supply, which often means additional electrical work or a three-phase upgrade is needed to use the full output.
The biggest cost factors are the charger’s power rating, the length of cable run between the consumer unit and the charging point, whether the existing consumer unit needs upgrading, and whether any ground or wall works such as trenching or drilling are required.
A standard installation with a short cable run usually takes 3 to 4 hours to complete. Installations requiring a consumer unit upgrade, longer cable runs, or ground works can take a full day or longer.
