Answers to the questions we’re asked most often about home and business EV charger installation, government grant support, and what to expect when you book with Green Plug.
How much does it cost to install a home EV charger?
Installation cost depends on the charger model you choose, your property’s existing electrical setup, and whether any extra work is needed, such as additional cable routing or a consumer unit upgrade. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your home.
Can I get a grant towards the cost of an EV charger?
Grant support for EV chargepoints is available to some homeowners, renters and businesses, though the specific schemes, amounts and eligibility criteria change periodically. During your free assessment, Green Plug will check what you may currently qualify for. See our EV Grant guide for more detail.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
Most straightforward domestic installations are completed in a single visit, typically within a few hours. Installations that require extra electrical work, such as a consumer unit upgrade or a longer cable run, may take longer.
What areas do you cover?
Green Plug installs EV chargers across Buckinghamshire and the surrounding counties, including London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire.
What EV charger brands do you supply and install?
We supply and install chargers from leading manufacturers, including Hypervolt and Ohme, alongside other OZEV-approved brands. Speak to our team for current stock and a recommendation suited to your vehicle and budget.
Do you offer both tethered and untethered chargers?
Yes. Tethered chargers come with a built-in charging cable, while untethered chargers let you use your own cable. Our team can advise on which option suits your vehicle and how you plan to charge.
Is my property suitable for a home EV charger?
Most homes with off-street parking and a nearby electrical supply are suitable for a home charger. We carry out a free survey, in person or remotely, to confirm the right setup before any installation goes ahead.
What warranty do you provide?
Chargers are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and our installation work is backed by our own workmanship guarantee. Ask our team for the full warranty details relevant to your chosen charger.
Do I need planning permission for a home EV charger?
In most cases, home EV chargers fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission. Listed buildings or certain locations can have extra requirements, so we’re happy to advise during your free assessment.
