Typical cost
A standard 7kW smart charger installed in a London home usually costs roughly £800–£1,500 including the unit. Our fixed price starts from £799 for a standard install including a smart charger.
What can add to the price
- Long cable runs from the consumer unit to the parking space
- Groundworks or trenching to a detached driveway
- A consumer unit without spare capacity or RCD protection
- Main fuse or supply upgrades through UK Power Networks
Grants
Government chargepoint grants are available to some renters, flat owners and landlords. Eligibility and amounts change, so check the current OZEV scheme rules on GOV.UK — we can confirm whether your property is likely to qualify.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission to install an EV charger?
Most installations on a driveway are permitted development, but listed buildings, flats and conservation areas can have extra rules. We notify the network operator for you.
