Detached houses usually have their own driveway or private parking, which removes a lot of the complications that come with street parking. That said, detached properties are often on larger plots, and a longer distance between your consumer unit and your preferred charging spot is the single biggest factor that tends to push cost up for this property type.
If you're parking near your garage or close to where your electricity supply comes into the house, installation can be relatively quick. If your driveway is a long way from your consumer unit — common on larger properties, especially those with detached garages or outbuildings — the installer may need to run cable underground or along an external wall, which adds time and material cost.
Detached homes are also more likely to be considering multiple EVs or planning for solar panels alongside a charger. If that's you, our guide to EV charger installation for solar homes and our EV chargers overview are both worth a read before you get a quote.
Because plot size and cable distance vary so much between detached properties, we don't quote a generic price for this house type. Tell us about your property in the quote form and we'll help match you with an installer who can assess it properly.
