FAQs

How much does it cost to install an EV charging point?

EV charging point installation costs depend on charger type, electrical work required, and installation complexity. Basic installations start from around £800 including a quality 7kW charger and standard installation. Government grants may be available to offset costs. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your electrical system and charging requirements, ensuring transparent pricing with no hidden costs.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical system for EV charging?

Most modern homes can accommodate EV charging without major upgrades, though older properties may need consumer unit improvements or additional circuits. We assess your electrical system's capacity and condition, recommending any necessary upgrades to ensure safe, reliable charging. Many installations only require a dedicated charging circuit from your existing consumer unit.

How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle at home?

Home charging times depend on your vehicle's battery size and charger power. A typical 7kW home charger provides around 25-30 miles of range per hour of charging, fully charging most EVs overnight (6-8 hours). 22kW three-phase chargers are faster but require appropriate electrical supply. Most EV owners find overnight charging perfectly adequate for daily driving needs.

Can I charge my EV with solar panels?

Yes, EV charging can be integrated with solar PV systems for truly renewable motoring. Smart charging systems can prioritise solar generation for vehicle charging, using excess renewable energy that would otherwise be exported. Combined with battery storage, you can charge your EV with solar power even during evening hours, dramatically reducing transport costs whilst minimising environmental impact.
