After reading through the "Would you have an EV without home charging" thread, the cost of installing a charger came up.

This could be one of the main barriers to having an EV, as it's clear that only a tiny percentage would have one without home charging.

The cost of having a charger installed seems to vary (a lot), and it could be helpful for people to get a "general" idea of the costs.

Please include all costs, including installation, the charger itself, and any other upgrades needed.

For us, we needed two new consumer units, one in the house and one in the garage. Luckily, the cable to the garage was already rated at 40kW, so that was fine. Our charger was a Simpson and Partners unit with a nine-meter cable.

The total for us was around £2100.00 inc VAT.

You probably should have another option ‘free with new house’ seeing as Approved Document S requires a charger to be provided where there is a drive / allocated space since Summer 2022.
