What Affects the Cost?

Installation costs depend on several key factors. Your property's electrical capacity and whether your existing consumer unit requires upgrading significantly affects pricing. Distance from the electrical supply to your desired charger location, driveway surface type (concrete vs. asphalt), and whether structural work is needed all add to costs. In Bournemouth, local building control requirements and property accessibility also play a role. Charger brand, RFID features, and app connectivity options vary widely. Government grants like the OZEV scheme can offset costs, though eligibility varies.

Money-Saving Tips

Get multiple quotes from accredited installers to compare costs and warranties. Check your eligibility for the OZEV Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant (up to £350 discount). Schedule installation during off-peak periods and consider bundle deals if planning multiple upgrades simultaneously.
