Quick answer
A 7kW home EV charger typically costs £800–£1,200 installed, including the unit, cabling, and certification. Grants are available for flats and renters.
Installing a 7kW home EV charger in the UK typically costs between £800 and £1,200 for a straightforward installation. This covers the charger unit, all cabling back to your consumer unit, mounting on the wall, testing, and the electrician's certificate. Factors that increase the cost include a long cable run from the consumer unit to the charger location, upgrades to your consumer unit if it does not have a spare way, or more complex installations like underground cable runs. The government's EV Chargepoint Grant covers up to £350 off installation cost but is now available only for people in flats or those renting with dedicated parking. Always use an OZEV-registered installer.
