What Affects the Cost?

Installation costs vary based on your home's existing electrical capacity, distance from the main consumer unit, and whether tri-phase power is available. Properties requiring significant rewiring or consumer unit upgrades will cost more. Ground conditions, building regulations approval, and permit requirements in Godalming also affect pricing. The type of charger (standard 7kW vs. faster 22kW) significantly impacts both labour and materials. Installers may offer discounts for multiple properties or off-peak installation.

Money-Saving Tips

Check eligibility for the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) or workplace schemes, which can cover up to 75% of installation costs. Request multiple quotes from MCS-accredited installers. Consider a standard 7kW charger initially—it's sufficient for most home users and significantly cheaper than 22kW options. Planning installation during quieter periods may secure labour discounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Most wall-mounted chargers don't require planning permission if they're on your property boundary and meet certain size/positioning criteria. However, listed buildings and conservation areas may have restrictions. Check with Waverley Borough Council or your installer before proceeding.

Can I install an EV charger myself?

No. EV charger installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician registered with a competent person scheme (such as MCS or NICEIC). DIY installation voids warranties and breaches building regulations.

How long does installation typically take?

A straightforward 7kW installation usually takes 1–2 days. More complex jobs involving consumer unit upgrades or ground works can take 3–5 days. Your installer will provide a timeline after the site survey.

Is my 100A service sufficient for a 22kW charger?

Unlikely. Most 22kW installations require either a tri-phase supply or a consumer unit upgrade. A pre-installation survey (£150–£300) will confirm what upgrades, if any, your property needs.
