EV Chargers - Compare EV Chargers & Installers

Type 1 and Type 2 refers to the type of cable which is needed to connect to your electric car.

Type 1 is generally used in the US and allows a charge speed of up to 7.4kW.

Type 2 plugs are more common in the UK and can charge up to 43kW (although usual max at home is 7.4kW on a single phase supply.

To find out which type of connector your car needs either consult your car manual or you can look through the list of electric car specs here

We compare prices for EV chargers which include installation. Prices vary by charger, with more expensive chargers having extra features such as solar compatibility or having a more attractive design.

From a charger including installation you will be looking from between £800-£2000. This can increase if your installation is non-standard and requires extra work or longer cabling to be installed.

A tethered charger has the cable built in to the charger so it is always ready for you to plug straight into your car.

Untethered has an open slot which you can plug a cable into and remove it when you are not charging. This can keep the charger looking tidy or allow you to charge with a type 1 or type 2 cable.

Some chargers like the Easee One bring both of these features together by offering a hybrid solution.

EV chargers are charging stations or electric vehicle supply equipments (EVSE) to be technical. Home EV Chargers are installed on at your house in order to maximise the speed at which you charge your electric car, as well as save you money by charging when energy prices are cheap.

You can compare EV chargers and find the right one for you with our simple comparison tool.

EV Tariffs are energy tariffs created specifically with the needs of electeric car drivers in mind. With the extra cost of charging the car it can save £100s per year to be on the best tariff by utilising off peak energy prices.

You can compare the best EV tariffs and switch to the right one for your needs on our comparison page.

The Office for Zero Emissions Vehicles (OZEV) offered a grant for those who are eligible as an incentive to use electric vehicles instead of the classic petrol-powered cars and trucks.

To be eligible for the grant you will need to be a tenant in a rental property, be a landlord of a rental property or a flat owner. You will need to have a dedicated off street parking space for all of these.

As this rules out a large proportion of installations, we show prices which DO NOT include this grant as standard. If you meet the criteria you can save up to £350 off your installation on top of the prices shown.

The prices we show are for the charger unit and standard installation.

We show prices which DO NOT include this grant as standard. If you meet the criteria you can save up to £350 off your installation on top of the prices shown.

All of the prices shown are ‘from’ prices which show the cost of charger and installation for a standard installation. We find this covers 80-90% of EV charger installs.

However, if your property is unusual, requires extra cabling (usually over 10m) or has works such as land to be dug up then your installation can cost more. This varies by installer but you will usually receive a complete quote after a survey, at which point you can go ahead with the works or look for more quotes.
