EV Charger Installation Cost Transparent Pricing From OZEV-Approved Engineers
No fixed price lists. No guesswork. Just an honest quote based on your property.
We’ve installed over 15,000 EV chargers across London, Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, and beyond we know what it actually costs and why.
The cost of installing an EV charger in the UK is not a single number — and any installer who gives you one before seeing your property is guessing. The charger model, your property type, the distance between your consumer unit and the installation point, and your existing electrical setup all influence the final figure. At EV Install Pro, we carry out a proper survey before quoting, give you a fixed price with nothing hidden, and handle the OZEV grant paperwork so you never pay more than you need to.
What Does EV Charger Installation Cost in the UK?
Most home EV charger installations cost between £700 and £1,200 including the unit and all installation work. With the OZEV grant of up to £350 applied, many customers pay as little as £350 to £850 all in. The exact figure depends on your property, your charger, and your electrical setup which is why we survey first and quote second.

What Affects the Cost of Your Installation?
Charger Model
The unit itself is often the biggest variable. A reliable 7.4 kW smart charger starts from around £499. Premium options with solar integration, load balancing, and app control sit higher and for many customers, the long-term savings justify the upfront difference.
Property Type
A detached house with a garage next to the consumer unit is the simplest possible job. A flat, a mid-terrace, or a listed building introduces complexity that affects both labour and materials. We install across a wide range of property types throughout London, Kent, Essex, and West Yorkshire no two are the same.
Cable Run Length
The further the cable needs to travel from your consumer unit to the charger, the more materials and time are involved. A 3-metre garage run is very different to a 20-metre front driveway installation. Our engineers map the most practical route as part of every survey.
Electrical Condition
Most modern homes need no electrical upgrades. Older properties with aging fuse boards or limited spare capacity may need a consumer unit upgrade before installation. We assess this at survey stage and advise clearly before any work is agreed.
Installation Complexity
A clean brick wall and a clear cable route is a fast, efficient install. Rendered surfaces, underground cable runs, restricted access, or communal areas in blocks of flats all take more time. Our quotes always reflect the real scope of work, not a best-case assumption.
Optional Extras
Solar diversion, tethered cables, longer tether lengths, and smart load balancing hardware are all genuine additions worth considering for the right property. We'll tell you what's actually worthwhile for your setup not what adds the most to our invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions
For most standard installations, the total cost including the charger and all installation work falls between £700 and £1,200. After the OZEV grant of up to £350 is applied, eligible customers typically pay between £350 and £850. The exact figure depends on your charger choice, property type, and electrical setup.
Not entirely, but the grant significantly reduces the cost. The OZEV scheme covers up to £350 of the combined supply and installation cost for eligible homeowners and renters. EV Install Pro applies this directly to your invoice you never pay upfront and wait to claim it back.
Yes. Installation must be carried out by an OZEV-authorised installer registered with a competent person scheme such as NICEIC. This is a legal requirement and a condition of grant eligibility. It also ensures your installation is safe and fully compliant with UK wiring regulations.
In many cases, yes. Flat installations depend on parking arrangements, consumer unit access, and lease terms. We carry out flat and apartment installations regularly across London and other urban areas. A survey is the best starting point we can assess what’s feasible before you commit to anything.
Yes. The longer the cable run between your consumer unit and the charger, the more materials and labour are involved. This is particularly relevant for terraced houses, front-of-property installations, and larger homes. Our survey maps the most practical route and factors it accurately into your quote.
Most homes won’t. Older properties with full fuse boards or insufficient capacity may need an upgrade before installation. Our engineers assess this at survey stage and advise you clearly including the likely cost before any work begins. Where a DNO upgrade is needed, we notify the network operator on your behalf.
Costs in London can be marginally higher due to labour rates and the prevalence of complex urban properties flats, terraces, and Victorian conversions. However, many straightforward London installations are priced comparably to those in Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, and Berkshire. Our quotes always reflect the actual job, not a postcode premium.
Commercial costs depend on the number of units, the available power supply, groundworks, and whether network management or access control is required. A single workplace charger might start from around £800 to £1,200 installed. Multi-bay and depot installations are scoped individually. Contact us for a commercial survey and fixed-price quote.
