How Much Does a Home EV Charger Cost?

Switching to an electric vehicle (EV) is a smart move, but charging at home is where the real savings and convenience come in. A home EV charger gives you faster, cheaper charging compared to public stations, and with the right setup, you can power your car using solar energy or off-peak electricity.

The cost of installing a home EV charger depends on the model and installation requirements, but prices typically start from £800 for a fully installed unit. Some energy providers offer grants or incentives to reduce the upfront cost.

Running Costs:
‍
Charging at home can cost as little as 3-7p per mile, depending on your electricity tariff.
‍
If you charge using solar energy, the running costs can be even lower!
