How much does an EV charger installation cost?

There's no single fixed price for an EV charger installation — it depends on your charger, your existing electrical setup, how far the cable needs to run, your consumer unit, and the layout of your property. Two homes on the same street can end up with quite different quotes purely because of how their electrics are arranged.

A straightforward installation on a modern consumer unit with a short cable run tends to sit at the lower end. Older properties, longer cable runs, additional groundworks, or a consumer unit that needs upgrading before a charger can be safely fitted will all push the price up. Our full breakdown of what drives cost lives on our installation cost page, which is worth reading alongside this guide.

Your choice of charger also plays a part. Smart chargers with tariff scheduling or solar-matching, like Ohme or MyEnergi Zappi, can sit at a slightly different price point to simpler models. If you're not sure which one suits your home, our EV chargers overview is a good place to start.

The best way to get an accurate figure is to get a quote based on your actual home, rather than relying on a generic 'from' price. Tell us about your property and we'll help connect you with an installer who can price the job properly.
