Renting or in a flat? You're probably owed up to £500.
The 2026 rules confuse everyone — homeowners with a driveway are out, but renters, flat owners and on-street parkers are in. Check your eligibility in 20 seconds.
Built to be honest about cost — by design.
We're a young brand, so we won't fake a wall of five-star quotes. Here's what we can stand behind today.
Independent, not a reseller
We're not tied to any energy provider or installer. We don't sell chargers, so the cost you see isn't padded to fund a commission.
OZEV-approved installer network
Every installer we match you with is OZEV-approved and insured — the standard required to claim the government grant on your behalf.
Built on real, live install costs
Our prices come from a cost index we re-check every month against real UK installs — not a sales estimate or a marketing round-number.
No pushy sales calls
You get a transparent cost and matched quotes. There's no call-centre chasing you to close — you decide if and when to book.
EV charger costs & grants, explained.
How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home?
A typical 7kW home install in the UK is around £800–£1,200, including the charger unit and labour. If you qualify for the government grant it drops to roughly £500. Long cable runs from your fuse box or older wiring can add £150–£400.
How much would an electrician charge to install one?
It must be an OZEV-approved installer to qualify for the grant — not just any electrician. Labour is usually bundled into the fixed install price (most of the £800–£1,200), not charged separately by the hour.
Can I get a government grant for an EV charger?
From April 2026 the grant is up to £500 per socket — but homeowners with a driveway are no longer eligible. It is now for renters, flat owners and households with on-street parking. Your installer claims it for you; it comes off your invoice.
Can I install a 7kW charger at home?
Yes — a 7kW charger runs on a standard single-phase home supply, which is what almost every UK home has. It is the right choice for nearly everyone. You only need 22kW (3-phase) for two EVs or heavy daily mileage.
3kW, 7kW or 22kW — which do I actually need?
7kW is the sweet spot: it fully charges almost any EV overnight. 3kW is too slow for most, and 22kW needs a 3-phase supply most homes do not have. Do not overspend on speed you cannot use.
How much does a 22kW EV charger installation cost?
Our live UK average for a 22kW three-phase install is £1,150 (range £999–£1,300). It costs more than a 7kW install because it needs a three-phase supply, which most UK homes don't have — a 7kW charger (live average £1,073) is the right choice for nearly everyone.
