The EV charger installation cost index — what installs actually cost, tracked monthly.

Every figure on this page is the average of real prices paid for completed EV charger installations through ChargeQuote's installer network, not an estimate or a manufacturer RRP. We take the actual install invoices and accepted quotes, group them by metric (7kW, 22kW, and after-grant), and publish the live mean — currently £1,073 for a standard 7kW home install. The page revalidates hourly so the figure you see reflects the latest recorded jobs.

The sources are first-party: install invoices and accepted fixed quotes from the OZEV-approved installers in our network across England, Scotland and Wales. We do not scrape third-party listings or blend in manufacturer pricing. For wider market context we may separately reference published competitor figures, but those are never mixed into our own average — the index reflects only prices actually paid through us.

The current 7kW index is built from 29 real install jobs in the current month. A larger sample makes the average more stable month to month; in the early months of a new metric the figure can move more as each job is added, so we flag low-confidence periods rather than overstate precision. Where a metric doesn't yet have enough jobs to publish an honest average, we show "Not yet tracked" instead of a number.

The underlying data refreshes monthly — each new month's completed installs roll into a fresh average — and the page itself revalidates every hour, so a new monthly figure appears as soon as it's computed. The freshness stamp in the hero and the "Last refresh" row in the methodology table always show the period the live figure belongs to.

Our live 22kW three-phase index currently sits at £1,150, ranging from £999 to £1,300 for completed jobs through our network. A 22kW home install needs a three-phase supply, so it costs more than a standard single-phase 7kW unit (currently £1,073); most UK homes only have single-phase power and are better served by a 7kW charger.

"Not yet tracked" means we don't yet have enough real jobs for that specific metric to publish an honest average — for example a regional breakdown, or the tethered-versus-untethered split. Rather than fill the gap with an estimate or a competitor's number, we leave it explicitly untracked. As real jobs come through the network those cells switch from "Not yet tracked" to a live figure.

The lowest real 7kW install price recorded in the current index is £775; for market context, energy suppliers publish floors around the same level — British Gas, for example, advertises EV charger installation from £999. After the £500 OZEV grant a typical 7kW install drops to about £573. Use the calculator to see where your exact setup lands.
