The cost of an EV charger installation depends on the charger you choose, the distance between your consumer unit and charging point, the cable route and whether any additional electrical work is required. Once we have assessed your property, we'll provide a clear quotation covering installation, testing and certification.

The quickest way to get an accurate quotation is to complete our online enquiry form and provide a few details about your consumer unit, parking area, preferred charger & proposed charger location.

We only install trusted, recognised, smart chargers - fully compliant with UK regulations and packed with modern features like: Load management, Scheduled charging & energy tracking, all within a smart app on your phone.

7kW Single-Phase Chargers
Perfect for most homes.

22kW Three-Phase Chargers
For properties & business premises with three-phase power.
Charge time: Fast charging times of between 1–3 hours depending on your vehicle

13-Amp Plug-In Chargers
These are not recommended for everyday use. These take between 12–24+ hours to fully charge and can overload standard socket outlets in your home. We’d advise on using these only in an Emergency with no alternatives available.

A standard domestic installation typically takes between 3 to 5 hours, this usually includes mounting a new consumer unit with integrated surge protection device (SPD) & Bi-directional RCBO , running the new EV rated cable, mounting your new EV charger, connection to your new consumer unit, full testing, commissioning & certification

In short, yes.

We prefer transparency upfront and a survey allows us to discuss options with you, these can sometimes be done remotely but we would need to verify things like the cable route, your consumer unit capacity, main fuse rating, Wi-Fi signal strength, and any potential obstructions which then allows us to provide you with a fixed quote. This prevents any delays and unexpected costs at Installation stage.

Many smart chargers rely on a stable Wi-Fi connection to access scheduled charging, off-peak energy tariffs, and software updates.

If the Wi-Fi signal is weak where the charger will be installed, you might need a signal booster or a wired connection, both of which we can take of for you.

In most cases, no. A 7kW charger usually works with standard UK domestic supplies. However, we will assess your current setup and liaise with your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) if an upgrade or notification is required. If found to be required then we can reduce the loading of your charger internally to allow for installation to take place.

Most home chargers use a universal Type 2 connector, which works with the majority of EVs sold in the UK. If you have an untethered charger, you can just change the cable to match your new car if needed.

Most modern consumer units can handle a 7kW home charger. During our pre installation survey, we verify whether your existing unit is suitable for the new circuit, we also carry out a full load calculation to ensure your home's main fuse capacity can safely manage the load without overloading.

Some electricity suppliers offer EV-friendly or off-peak tariffs, which provide cheaper rates during set nighttime hours. Pairing one of these tariffs with a smart charger can significantly reduce your charging costs. Check with your supplier or use a comparison site to find the best EV tariff for your usage.
