Home EV Charger Installation
Design, supply and installation of 7 kW home chargers. We fit tethered and untethered units, smart chargers with app control, and solar-compatible models such as the myenergi Zappi.
Workplace & Commercial Charging
EV chargers for offices, retail units, industrial estates and customer car parks. Single, twin and multi-bay systems with load management and billing software where needed.

Charger Upgrades & Replacements
Replacing older, slower chargers with modern smart units. We also assess and upgrade supply cables, consumer units and earthing where needed to meet current regulations.
How Does an EV Charger Installation Work?
A home EV charger is a dedicated 7 kW charging unit wired directly back to your consumer unit, with its own RCD protection and its own circuit. On a standard 32 amp supply it will charge most electric vehicles from empty to full overnight, far faster than a three-pin plug and significantly safer.
Most domestic installations take half a day to a full day. Workplace and commercial installations take longer because they usually involve load management, larger supply cables and sometimes a DNO notification for the local grid operator.
Before the charger is fitted, we complete a site survey to check the incoming supply, the consumer unit, the proposed cable route and the earthing arrangement. If your supply or consumer unit is not suitable, we will tell you in writing and include any remedial work in the quote so there are no surprises on the day.
Every charger we fit complies with BS 7671 (the 18th Edition wiring regulations), the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021, and the manufacturer's installation manual, and is fully tested and certified on completion.
Costs
How Much Does EV Charger Installation Cost in Norfolk?
A genuine, specific price range, not a "from £X". Every home is different, so we always survey and quote in writing before any work starts.
£850 to £1,400
Typical home install, supplied & fitted
A straightforward home EV charger installation in Norwich or the wider Norfolk area typically costs between £850 and £1,400 supplied and fitted, depending on the charger model, the cable run length and whether any upgrades to your consumer unit or supply are needed.
The main factors that affect the price are the charger itself (entry-level smart chargers start around £500, premium models such as the Andersen A2 or Wallbox Pulsar Max Plus are £1,000 or more), the distance from your consumer unit to the charger location, whether the cable needs to be chased into walls or clipped externally, whether your consumer unit needs upgrading, and whether the incoming supply requires a DNO notification.
Workplace and commercial installations are always priced per project, because they depend heavily on the number of sockets, the site layout, any groundworks and whether load management or back-office software is needed.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
We install EV chargers across Norwich, Hethersett, Wymondham, Cringleford, Costessey, Attleborough, Long Stratton, Thetford, Dereham and surrounding areas in Norfolk. For commercial and workplace projects, we cover the whole of Norfolk and parts of Suffolk.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Norwich?ShowHide
A straightforward home EV charger installation in Norwich and the wider Norfolk area typically costs between £850 and £1,400 supplied and fitted, depending on the charger model, the cable run length and whether any consumer unit or supply upgrades are needed. We always carry out a free survey and provide a fully itemised written quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
How long does EV charger installation take?ShowHide
Most domestic installations take from half a day to a full day. Workplace and commercial installs take longer, as they usually involve load management, larger supply cables and sometimes a DNO notification to the local grid operator. We will confirm the expected timescale in your written quote.
Do I need planning permission for a home EV charger?ShowHide
In most cases no. A home charger fitted to a wall or post within your property boundary normally falls under permitted development. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation areas can have additional restrictions, and we will advise you on this during the survey.
Which EV chargers do you install?ShowHide
We install all leading brands, including myenergi Zappi, Ohme, Wallbox, Andersen, Hypervolt and EO. We recommend the right unit for your vehicle, home and budget, rather than the one we happen to stock.
Tethered or untethered charger, which should I choose?ShowHide
A tethered charger has a fixed cable that is always ready to use, while an untethered (socketed) unit lets you use your own cable and keeps the wall unit tidier. We will talk you through the pros and cons for your driveway and vehicle during the survey.
Do I need to upgrade my fuse board to have an EV charger fitted?ShowHide
Not always. Many installations work with your existing consumer unit, but some older boards need an upgrade to provide the required protection for an EV circuit. We check this during the survey and include any necessary work in your written quote up-front.
Can you install an EV charger at a business or workplace?ShowHide
Yes. We install single, twin and multi-bay chargers for offices, retail units, industrial estates and customer car parks, with load management and billing software where needed. Workplace projects are priced individually after a site survey.
Will an EV charger increase my electricity bill?ShowHide
Charging at home adds to your electricity use, but a smart charger lets you schedule charging for cheap off-peak hours, which is far cheaper than public rapid chargers. Many EV tariffs make overnight home charging the most cost-effective way to run an electric car.
Can I charge my EV from solar panels?ShowHide
Yes, if you have solar PV and a compatible charger such as the myenergi Zappi, you can set the charger to use surplus solar energy first. We are happy to install solar-compatible chargers, although we do not install the solar PV system itself.
