The charger delivers up to 7.4kW, so most cars charge fully overnight. We can support you with the costs of a home charger and standard installation. Read on to find out how. **What is a looped supply?** Your electricity supply might be shared with a neighbour — this is called a looped supply. It doesn't stop you getting a home charger, but your local electricity network operator will need to separate the supply first, which can add a few weeks before your installation. This is usually a free process. Your installer will check this during your survey and guide you through what happens next — there's nothing you need to do right now. ## How you can benefit from home charging ![7F3A5625.61815-2](https://electric.motability.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/7F3A5625.61815-2.jpg?width=2000&height=1333&name=7F3A5625.61815-2.jpg "7F3A5625.61815-2") #### Cost savings 78% of our customers said that running costs were lower than they expected. ![ohme](https://electric.motability.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/ohme.png?width=1732&height=1156&name=ohme.png "ohme") #### Ease of installation 90% of customers receive a home chargepoint as part of their lease without needing to pay extra. ![7F3A3282.61839](https://electric.motability.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/7F3A3282.61839.jpg?width=2000&height=1333&name=7F3A3282.61839.jpg "7F3A3282.61839") #### Added convenience There's no need to visit a petrol station for everyday driving. ### What customers say about home charging ![Artboard 13Square](https://electric.motability.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Artboard%2013Square.png?width=80&height=80&name=Artboard%2013Square.png "Artboard 13Square") ## Non-standard installation #### You may need a **non-standard installation** if your home requires **more complex works** to have a chargepoint fitted.  ##### A standard chargepoint installation is suitable for most customers, but some installations might need some extra work. This is called a non-standard installation. As this extra work isn’t part of a standard installation, it will come with an added cost. This usually ranges from £50 to £400, depending on what’s needed. About **20%** of our customers need a non-standard installation. --- #### **What work might be needed and how much will it cost?** We’ve broken down some common examples below to give you a sense of what additional work could cost. If you need any of this, Ohme, our home charging partner, will explain what’s needed and give you a clear quote before anything goes ahead. ### £50 - £400 ### Longer cables or extra trunking e.g. If your parking space is a long distance from your electricity supply ### £50 - £500+ ### Electrical upgrades e.g. If you need a new fuse board ### £150 - £700+ ### Complex cable runs e.g. Running the cable from your loft or underground ### from £750 ### Groundworks e.g. digging a trench for the cables or mounting your chargepoint on a post. --- [Back to result](https://electric.motability.co.uk/home-charging#Results) ## How do I get a home chargepoint? ![1order-1](https://electric.motability.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/1order-1.png?width=504&height=320&name=1order-1.png "1order-1") Order your EV at your preferred dealer.

This is so they can check what work needs to be done. If required, home surveys are also available.  ![Artboard 13Square](https://electric.motability.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Artboard%2013Square.png?width=40&height=40&name=Artboard%2013Square.png)After you've completed your online home survey, our installation partner will provide a quote for any non-standard installation costs. ![3date](https://electric.motability.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/3date.png?width=503&height=320&name=3date.png "3date") Once you have provided the necessary information our installer will arrange a suitable date to install your chargepoint.
