EV charger installation is the process of mounting and wiring a dedicated chargepoint at your property so you can charge an electric car from home overnight. A home EV charger installation covers the survey, the supply and fit of the unit, electrical certification and the DNO notification — the whole job, not just the box on the wall. Whether you call it EV wall charger installation, EV car charger installation or electric car charging point installation, it is the same work: a certified, OZEV-approved installer fitting a compliant 7kW (or, with 3-phase, 22kW) chargepoint.
Many buyers now want an EV charger with installation bundled into one fixed price — a fast-growing way to shop because it removes the guesswork of pairing a unit to a fitter. Across the UK, every installer in our network quotes the charger and the EV charger installation as a single, grant-adjusted figure. To see what that costs, read our EV charger installation cost guide; to find fitters near you, use EV home charger installers near me.
Every matched installer delivers the full job to standard — survey, fit, certification and notification — so you're compliant and covered from day one.

Enquire for fleetMost UK homes are ready as-is. Your free survey confirms the details — here's what installers check.
A standard single-phase home supply runs a 7kW unit. 22kW needs 3-phase, which is rare at home.
An external wall or post within a sensible cable run of your consumer unit.
A driveway, or on-street/shared parking covered by the 2026 grant provision.
Older fuse boards may need a small upgrade — the survey flags this upfront.
A standard 7kW home EV charger installation in our network is currently averaging £1,073. The price depends on your charger model, how far the unit sits from your consumer unit, whether your fuse board needs a small upgrade, and the cable route. The 2026 EV chargepoint grant (up to £350) is taken off this figure where you qualify. Your free survey turns the estimate into a fixed quote with no surprises on the day.
Most home EV charger installations take 2–4 hours on the day once an installer is on site. A simple job — charger mounted near the consumer unit on a modern board — can be done in around two hours; longer cable runs, a board upgrade or a tricky route push it toward four. Typical lead time from accepting a quote to the install date is 2–4 weeks.
In almost all cases, no. Installing a home EV chargepoint is normally covered by permitted development in England, Scotland and Wales, so you don't need planning permission for a wall-mounted unit on a standard property. Exceptions are rare — a listed building, a flat-roof or shared-wall mounting, or some conservation-area situations. Your installer flags any permission or freeholder-consent issue during the survey before any work starts.
The main scheme in 2026 is the EV chargepoint grant (the successor to the EVHS/OZEV home grant), worth up to £350 off the cost of a socket and its installation. It now covers people without their own driveway via the cross-pavement and on-street provisions, as well as renters and flat owner-occupiers who meet the criteria. Eligible installs must use an OZEV-approved installer and an approved chargepoint — both standard across our network — and the grant is deducted from your quote, not claimed back later.
Not for a grant-eligible or fully compliant job. EV chargepoint installation must be carried out by an OZEV-approved installer who is qualified to the relevant standards (covering BS 7671 wiring regs and EV-specific requirements), registers the install for certification, and notifies your Distribution Network Operator (DNO). A general electrician without that approval can't unlock the grant or guarantee the compliance you need, which is why every installer in our network is vetted and OZEV-approved.
Yes — a 7kW chargepoint runs on a standard single-phase domestic supply, which is what the vast majority of UK homes have, so it's by far the most common home install. It adds roughly 25–30 miles of range per hour, enough to fully charge most EVs overnight. A 22kW charger needs a three-phase supply, which is uncommon in homes; if you only have single-phase, 7kW is the right and fully sufficient choice.
