If you’re considering switching to an electric vehicle, one of the first things you’ll likely ask is: “How much will it cost to install a home Electric Car charger?”
At HRHislop, we speak to homeowners across the South West every week about this. It’s a smart question — and the answer depends on a few key details. So, let’s break it down.
What’s the Average Cost of an electric car charger?
In most cases, a 7kW home Electric car charger costs between £850 and £1,200. This price includes the charger unit itself and a full, professional installation.
However, several factors can influence the final cost:
- Charger brand and model – Prices vary depending on features and build quality
- Cable run length – The further your charger is from your consumer unit, the more materials and time it takes
- Condition of your electrics – Some homes require minor upgrades for safety
- Extra features – Smart charging, solar integration, or load balancing can increase the price
That said, we always provide a clear, fixed-price quote before any work begins. Therefore, you’ll know exactly what’s included, no unexpected extras.
Why It’s Worth the Investment
A home charger offers more than just convenience. Here’s why many homeowners decide to go ahead:
- Charge overnight – Simply plug in before bed and wake up to a full battery
- Save on energy – Off-peak rates help you lower long-term running costs, only available if you have off-peak electricity available.
- Boost property value – A fitted Electric car charger adds future appeal to your home
Additionally, many chargers now include smart features. You can track energy use, schedule charging times, and control everything from your phone.
