What Affects the Cost?

Installation costs depend on your home's current electrical capacity, distance from the consumer unit, and whether you need upgrades to accommodate the charger. Charger type (tethered versus untethered), cable length, and installation location (garage, driveway, or external wall) affect labour time. Fareham properties near the coast or with older electrics often require additional certification or remedial work. OLEV grants and workplace charging schemes can offset costs—installers familiar with schemes offer better value advice.

Money-Saving Tips

Request quotes from multiple certified installers to compare labour rates and charger costs. Check eligibility for the government's schemes (such as workplace charging allowance) before installation. Plan cable routes efficiently to minimise trenching and underground work, which significantly increases total cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for an EV charger in Fareham?

Most domestic EV chargers don't require planning permission under permitted development rules, provided they're not located in a conservation area. However, listed properties or conservation areas may need approval. Always check with Fareham Borough Council or consult your installer before commencing work.

What's the difference between 7kW and 22kW chargers?

A 7kW charger (single-phase) adds roughly 20 miles of range per hour and is suitable for most homes. A 22kW charger (three-phase) adds up to 60 miles per hour but requires three-phase electrical supply (less common in domestic properties). 22kW installation costs more due to supply upgrades.

How long does installation typically take?

Standard 7kW installations usually take 4-8 hours, depending on cable routing and any electrical upgrades needed. Complex installations involving underground cables or consumer unit upgrades may take 2-3 days. Installers will provide timescales before work begins.

Are there grants available to help with installation costs?

The government's workplace charging scheme and tax allowances help businesses offset costs. Domestic grants vary; check the Office of Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) website or ask your installer about current schemes and eligibility criteria.
