Common questions
How long does a home EV charger installation take?
A standard home EV charger installation takes 2–4 hours. The electrician will check your consumer unit, run a cable to the charge point location (usually an outside wall or garage), and install the charger. Some installs require a consumer unit upgrade first, which adds time and cost.
Do I need planning permission for a home EV charger?
In most cases, no. Home EV charger installations are permitted development. Exceptions: listed buildings, conservation areas where the charger would be visible from the street. Your installer will advise if permission is needed for your specific property.
What's the difference between a 3-pin plug charger and a dedicated wallbox?
A standard 3-pin plug (Mode 2 charger) delivers around 2.3kW — slow and not recommended for regular overnight charging as it stresses the domestic socket. A dedicated 7kW wallbox (Mode 3) is faster, safer, smarter, and eligible for the OZEV grant. Most EV owners recoup the wallbox cost quickly through lower electricity unit rates on smart tariffs.
