Vetted installers only
Scheme registration and insurance checked before any work is booked.
Domestic and commercial EV charger installation
Two jobs, two surveys, two different sets of questions. Pick whichever sounds like you.
A charger at home
One charge point on a house, bungalow, terrace or flat with its own parking. Your installer checks the fuse, the board and the earthing, agrees the cable route with you, then fits and certifies it.
- 7kW on a dedicated circuit
- Tethered or socketed, your choice
- Certificate and test results
Chargers at work
Staff bays, customer parking and van depots. The site's peak demand gets measured first, because that sets how many bays are possible without paying for a new supply.
- 7kW to 22kW, single or three-phase
- Load management across bays
- Access control and billing
What it costs
How much does EV charger installation cost?
Most standard 7kW home installations come to between £1,100 and £1,500 fitted with a local, VAT-registered installer. Roughly £450 to £900 of that is the unit and £600 to £800 is the work.
Your own figure comes from the survey, because the cable run and the state of your consumer unit decide most of it. Anyone quoting a single price without seeing those two things is guessing.
Typical, fitted
£1,100 to £1,500
Standard 7kW domestic installation, unit and installation together. Grants of up to £500 per socket apply to some households.

The bit everyone worries about
Will my house take an EV charger?
Almost always. Three things decide it: the rating of your main fuse, the spare capacity in your consumer unit, and your earthing arrangement. We check all three before anything is ordered or drilled.
Survey
Send photos of the meter, the main fuse and the consumer unit. That answers most jobs. Where it does not, your installer comes out. You will also be asked where the car sits, because the cable run follows the parking and the cable run is most of the price.
Load check
The supply is measured, not estimated. A 60A main fuse with an electric shower on it leaves very little headroom, so load curtailment is fitted and the charger drops its draw when the house needs the capacity. It is priced in the quote you accept.
Install and certify
Unit on the wall, dedicated circuit, tested. You get the installation certificate, the test results, and ten minutes on how the app works before we leave. We notify your network operator where that is required.
Which unit
Which home EV charger should you buy?
Nearly every home charger sold in the UK is 7kW. On a single-phase supply that is the ceiling, so a Zappi, an Ohme and a Hypervolt all charge your car at the same rate. What separates them is how they handle solar, how they talk to your tariff, and whether the cable is attached.
All eight units with typical installed prices. Drag, scroll or use the arrows.
Zappi
Tethered or socketed
£1,250 to £1,550
typically, fitted
Zappi diverts surplus solar into the car instead of exporting it. Its eco modes throttle the charge to match whatever the panels are producing, so the car soaks up generation the house is not using.
Zappi installation costOhme Home Pro
Tethered
£1,195 to £1,445
typically, fitted
Ohme units talk directly to time-of-use electricity tariffs and schedule charging into the cheapest half-hours automatically. The car is charged by morning without you setting a timer.
Ohme Home Pro installation costHypervolt Home 3
Tethered or socketed
£1,295 to £1,545
typically, fitted
Hypervolt combines solar matching and tariff scheduling in one unit, with an app that reports per-session cost. The lighting ring is configurable, which sounds trivial and turns out to matter on a front elevation.
Hypervolt Home 3 installation costEasee One
Socketed
£1,145 to £1,395
typically, fitted
Easee units are small and designed to sit in a group. Several share one supply and balance load between themselves, which is why they turn up on driveways with two cars and in small commercial bays.
Easee One installation costWallbox Pulsar Plus
Tethered
£1,165 to £1,415
typically, fitted
The Pulsar Plus is among the physically smallest 7kW units, which helps where the only sensible position is a narrow porch return or a tight garage wall.
Wallbox Pulsar Plus installation costAndersen A2
Socketed, cable stored internally
On application
typically, fitted
The A2 hides the cable inside the housing and takes interchangeable fascias. It costs more than the engineering requires, and on a period frontage that is often the point.
Andersen A2 installation costTesla Wall Connector
Tethered
£1,125 to £1,375
typically, fitted
The Wall Connector uses a standard Type 2 connector, so it charges any modern EV and not only a Tesla. It is the cheapest route to a solid 7kW unit, and it does the least beyond charging.
Tesla Wall Connector installation costPod Point Solo 3
Tethered or socketed
£1,150 to £1,400
typically, fitted
Solo 3 is one of the most widely installed units in the country, which makes parts and familiarity easy. It is a straightforward charger with scheduling and no solar diversion.

Grants
EV charger grants: who qualifies in 2026?
That surprises people, so it is worth saying before you read anything else. The government chargepoint grants go to renters, flat owners, landlords, workplaces and households with only on-street parking. Homeowners with off-street parking at a single-family house were taken out of the scheme years ago.
If you are in one of the groups that does qualify, the grant is up to £500 per socket and the schemes run to 31 March 2027.
The work
What an EV charger installation actually looks like
A domestic job is a survey, a circuit and a test. The unit on the wall is the last hour of it, and the part that varies least between one house and the next.

Who does the work
Qualified, insured and certified EV charger installers
Your job does not go to whoever answers first. Every installer working on our jobs clears the same six checks, and we verify them rather than take anyone's word for it. The bar is published in advance, and the evidence behind it comes with your quote so you can check it yourself.
Registered with a competent person scheme
We only send work to installers registered with a government-approved scheme such as NAPIT or NICEIC. That registration is what lets the work be certified and notified without you making a building control application.
TrustMark registered
We check for TrustMark, the government-endorsed standard for work in and around the home. It covers technical competence, trading practice and customer service, not just wiring.
Public liability insurance in date
We see the certificate before we send anyone a job, and you get a copy with your quote. A policy that has lapsed is a straight no, whatever else is in order.
Qualified, and experienced with EVs
City and Guilds qualified electricians working to BS 7671, with EV charging experience specifically. A charger circuit is not the place for someone learning on your house.
Workmanship guaranteed
We require a workmanship guarantee in writing from the installer, separate from and on top of the manufacturer warranty on the unit itself. You get the terms with the quote.
Publicly reviewed, and good
A public review record we can read is a condition of getting work from us: not testimonials on the installer's own site, but a profile you can check yourself. We send you the link with the quote.
Scheme registration numbers and insurance certificates come with your quote, so you can verify them yourself rather than taking a website's word for it. How we choose installers sets out all six checks, including what gets someone turned away.

Questions
EV charger installation questions
Can my house take a charging point?
Almost always. What decides it is the rating of your main fuse, the spare capacity in the consumer unit and the earthing arrangement. All three are checked before you are quoted, and where the margin is tight load curtailment is fitted so the charger backs off instead of tripping the main fuse.
What does an installation cost?
It is priced per job after the supply check. There is no honest single figure until we know the cable route, the earthing arrangement and which unit you want, so you get a fixed price in writing for the work described, before anything is ordered.
Which charger suits my car?
Start from the car's on-board charger, not the unit's headline rate. Most cars on a single-phase domestic supply charge at the same speed whichever 7kW unit you buy, so the real choice is tethered or socketed, and how you want to control it.
Can I charge from a three-pin plug instead?
It works, slowly, and it is not what a socket circuit is designed for over many hours at a time. A dedicated circuit with the right protection is the reason to have the work done properly.
Will it make a mess of the house?
The cable is clipped, trunked or buried along a route we agree with you first, kept off the front elevation wherever there is an alternative. You are told how long the job takes when it is quoted, and the site is left tidy.
How many bays can our site have?
That comes out of the load assessment. Where the incoming supply is the limit, dynamic load management shares the available capacity across the bays instead of forcing a supply upgrade, which is the difference between four bays and none.
