A survey is especially useful if the electrical intake is remote from parking or the installation needs third-party permissions.
How much is a standard 7 kW home charge point installed?
The indicative South London budget used on this guide is £950–£1,500 including VAT for a relatively straightforward supply-and-install project. Actual quotations depend on the work.
How much does a workplace charger cost?
The cost varies widely. A single simple commercial point might be budgeted from around £1,200–£3,000+ excluding VAT, while multi-bay, shared supply and three-phase installations need a tailored design.
Can I use a charger I have already bought?
Potentially, after checking the exact model, condition, installation instructions, warranty and electrical suitability. We can consider an installation-only estimate.
Will I need a new fuseboard?
Not always. The existing board, earthing and available protective arrangements are assessed. Some sites require a dedicated enclosure or remedial works.
Is a government EV charging grant automatically available?
No. Eligibility depends on the applicant category, parking rights, vehicle, installation and current scheme rules. Applications and permissions often need completing before installation.
Are your published estimates binding quotations?
No. These are illustrative budget ranges only. We will agree a specific installation scope and price after sufficient assessment.
