Before too long, they\u2019re likely to dominate our roads &#8211; new petrol and diesel cars won\u2019t be available to buy after 2035, after all. Whether you\u2019ve already joined the zero-emission revolution or are planning to buy your first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/guides\/what-features-do-electric-cars-have\/\">electric car<\/a> this year, in order to fully take advantage of the car\u2019s capabilities, you\u2019ll need a home charger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this comprehensive guide, we\u2019re going to tell you everything you need to know about home charger installations. How much do they cost? Where and how are they installed? Who can install them? Are there any Government grants available to help towards the cost? We\u2019ll be answering all of these questions and more below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cost of Installing an Electric Car Charging Point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s not waste any time: how much does it cost to install a charging point at home? As you might expect, installation costs can vary significantly depending on a variety of factors. The make and model of the charging point, your chosen supplier and the complexity of the installation itself will all impact the amount you pay, so you\u2019ll need to shop around and weigh up your options if you want to get a good deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, 3kW chargers tend to start at under \u00a3400, while more powerful 7kW alternatives can come in at double that. Then there\u2019s the cost of the installation to consider which, depending on the location you choose and the configuration of your home\u2019s wiring, could easily send the total bill north of \u00a31,000. According to price comparison site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkatrade.com\/\">Checkatrade<\/a>, complete charger installations typically cost around \u00a31,000, with simpler installations starting at around \u00a3800 and more complex jobs adding up to \u00a31,500 or more. These prices include both the cost of the charger and the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that these are only ballpark figures: the only way you\u2019ll find out exactly how much your installation is going to cost is by getting a quote. We would recommend getting quotes from at least two different installation companies, just to make sure you\u2019re not paying over the odds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are There Any Government Grants Available to Help Cover the Costs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were grants available to homeowners, but these sadly came to an end in 2022. Back then, you could receive up to \u00a3350 towards the cost of your charger installation &#8211; but unless you\u2019ve got Doc Brown\u2019s DeLorean sat in your garage, you\u2019ve missed your chance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not all bad news, though. Landlords and flat residents can now take advantage of the EV Chargepoint Grant, which became available on 1 April 2022. Like the earlier scheme, it offers up to \u00a3350 towards the cost of a charging point installation &#8211; but there is a catch. In order to take advantage of the scheme, your property must have off-street parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, business owners can take advantage of the Workplace Charging Scheme for Electric Vehicles. Much like the others, this scheme offers businesses up to \u00a3350 towards the cost of an electric charger &#8211; but instead of covering just one charging point, it covers up to 40.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Factors Affect Installation Costs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we touched on before, there are a number of different factors that can significantly affect the cost of your chargepoint installation. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The make and model of chargepoint you opt for. Not only do the units themselves vary in cost significantly, but some are more finicky to install than others. This is why we\u2019d recommend speaking to chargepoint installation specialists who really know their stuff (as opposed to enlisting the services of a more generalised electrical engineer).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The way your house is built. Holes will need to be drilled in your home to fit the charger and run cables, and thicker stone walls will make this process more time-consuming (and more expensive).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The configuration of your home\u2019s electrical system. Older homes naturally weren\u2019t built with electric car charging in mind, so elements of their electrical system may need to be beefed up to reliably output the required power and comply with modern safety regulations. The location of your home\u2019s electricity meter can also push up costs; the further away it is from the charger, the more expensive the project becomes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The company you choose to carry out the installation. More experienced specialists may be able to complete the project in less time, keeping labour costs down and keeping delays and complications to a minimum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I Even Need a Charging Point?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We get it: the prospect of shelling out upwards of a grand for a chargepoint isn\u2019t a particularly enticing one. But just try owning an electric car without one &#8211; you\u2019ll soon realise how crucial they are. To save you the bother, here are a few alarming points that put everything into perspective:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Charging your EV with a standard, three-pin power supply will take forever. Say you drive something like a Tesla Model S with a 100kWh battery pack. If you plug it into the mains and try to fully charge it, you\u2019ll be waiting the best part of two days. Home chargers can supply a whole lot more juice, allowing them to fully charge the same car in a fraction of the time (around 14 hours).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Charging with a three-pin supply isn\u2019t particularly safe, either. Regular sockets simply aren\u2019t designed to charge cars, so using a dedicated charging point will help keep you, your vehicle and your home safe.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you own your EV for long enough, a home charger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/expert-tips\/how-much-does-it-cost-to-charge-an-electric-car_999126094\/\">will eventually pay for itself<\/a>. Shop around for an EV-specific electricity tariff and charge off-peak, and you could enjoy rates of less than 10p per kWh. Public charging points are usually more than seven times more expensive than this &#8211; so if you do enough miles, a home charger will make real financial sense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can\u2019t beat the convenience of a home charger. Provided you plug your car in when you get home, you can expect to wake up to a fully charged car the next morning. How handy is that?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you add the hit-or-miss availability and rising cost of public charging points into the mix, the answer to this question becomes crystal clear: if you want to enjoy your electric car and take full advantage of its capabilities, a home charging point is a must-have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s an added bonus to having a charging point fitted, too: it could increase the value of your home, or at least make it easier to sell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Get an Electric Car Charger Installed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, you\u2019ve decided you need a home charger &#8211; but can you actually get one installed? There are several restrictions in place that limit which properties can be fitted with home chargers, so before you ring around for quotes, make sure your home meets the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It must have off-street parking. This is perhaps the single biggest issue faced by city-dwelling EV owners right now; without a driveway or off-street parking space, there\u2019s simply no way to get a home charger fitted. Ideally, your parking space should be as close as possible to your home\u2019s electricity meter to keep the installation cost down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you rent, you\u2019ll need your landlord\u2019s permission to get a charger fitted.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To take full advantage of your charger\u2019s features and to control its operation remotely, you\u2019ll need a WiFi connection and a smartphone.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your home\u2019s electrical system will need to be up to scratch. If you live in an older property, additional work may be needed to carry out the installation to the required standard, so bear this in mind.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Chargepoint Installation Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Installing a home charger isn\u2019t a quick job. Fitting the charger actually only takes a few hours, but it\u2019s the paperwork required beforehand that adds complexity to the process. A wide variety of different checks have to be carried out and approvals granted before any work can be done, so it may take more than a month from initial enquiry to completion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give you an idea of what to expect, here\u2019s an overview of how the process typically works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To begin with, you\u2019ll need to find a local installer with the required qualifications to carry out the work. Charge point installations can be quite complex, so we\u2019d always recommend speaking to specialists who have completed similar projects before.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After you make your initial enquiry, the installer will need to visit your premises or arrange a video call with you to understand your requirements. They\u2019ll likely ask to see your parking space, electricity meter and desired installation spot, just to get an idea of the work that\u2019s required. They will also want to know which vehicle you drive so they can recommend a suitable charger.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you\u2019ve talked through your options, you can book the installation at a time convenient for you. Make sure you\u2019re free or are able to work from home when your installation is carried out.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the meantime, your installer will complete all of the relevant paperwork, carry out safety checks and secure approval from your local grid operator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The installation will be carried out. You\u2019re good to go!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing a Suitable Charger for Your Car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are hundreds of different charging points on the market nowadays, so choosing one that\u2019s right for you can seem like a tall order. Any chargepoint specialist worth their salt should be able to point you in the right direction, but here are a few key considerations to keep in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Price: Chargers can vary in price significantly, and some might have features you simply don\u2019t want or need.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power output: You can get 3 or 7kW home chargers, the latter being more powerful and thus able to charge your car more rapidly. As a result, 7kW models are fast becoming the default choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Features: Modern chargepoints boast a whole host of different features, from compatibility with other smart devices to energy-saving technology, security measures and more. You can also invest in all kinds of different accessories, including longer charging cables.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smart charging: Smart chargers used to be optional, but as of December 2022, all home chargers available in the UK have to be \u2018smart\u2019 models. This means they can receive over-the-air software updates, have configurable charging schedules, and boast additional features like tamper detection systems.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Out Our Electric Car Lease Deals Today<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"CtaMedium\">\n    <div class=\"CtaMedium__Primary\">          \n        <div class=\"CtaMedium__Primary--title\">\n            <h2 class=\"ignoreInPosts\">Electric Lease Deals<\/h2>\n        <\/div>           \n        <div class=\"CtaMedium__Primary--button\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/electric-car-leasing-deals\/\" class=\"Button Button--ctaLarge\">View deals<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"CtaMedium__image\">\n                                <div class='Image    '>\n        <div class='Image__frame' style='padding-top: 110.58%;'>\n        <img alt='BMW 7 Series PHEV' src='data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==' class='Image__image lazyload' data-srcset='https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-scaled.jpg 2315w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-271x300.jpg 271w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-926x1024.jpg 926w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-768x849.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-1389x1536.jpg 1389w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-1852x2048.jpg 1852w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-10x10.jpg 10w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-180x199.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-360x398.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-540x597.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-720x796.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-900x995.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-1080x1194.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-1296x1433.jpg 1296w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-1512x1672.jpg 1512w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-1728x1911.jpg 1728w, https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-1944x2150.jpg 1944w' data-lowsrc='https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/BMW-7-Series-PHEV-Review-10x10.jpg' data-aspectratio='0.9' data-sizes='auto' \/>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>                                  \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There you have it, our complete guide to the world of electric car charging points.
