Home charging
EV charger installers near you
A home wallbox is a notifiable electrical job, so who fits it matters as much as which unit you buy. Choose the guide for your area below, or read our national guide on how to choose an EV charger installer, which covers accreditation, what a fair quote looks like and the questions that catch out poor installers.
Three checks before you accept any quote
- Accreditation. The installer should be OZEV-authorised (required for any grant claim), registered with a competent person scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT, and able to issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify Building Control.
- The survey. A serious installer asks for photos of your consumer unit, meter and earthing before quoting, and asks about the cable run. A fixed price with no questions usually means a "standard install" with extras added on the day.
- The DNO. Every 7 kW charger has to be notified to your Distribution Network Operator, and some properties (looped supplies, older fuses) need an upgrade first. Ask who handles the notification and whether the quote covers a fuse upgrade if one is needed.
Grants that still apply in 2026
The EV chargepoint grant for homeowners with off-street parking closed to most applicants in 2024, but grants remain for flat owners and renters, for landlords, and for households without off-street parking who use a cross-pavement solution. The current rules are in our guides to the EV chargepoint grant and to charging without a driveway.
