Hi there,

It looks like your home could be suitable for an EV chargepoint installation.

It is likely you will need...

Non-standard installation

We currently offer the Ohme home charger in two styles: tethered, with the cable already attached and ready to use, or untethered, if you'd rather connect your own cable. The charger delivers up to 7.4kW, so most cars charge fully overnight.

We can support you with the costs of a home charger. As it is likely that you will require a non-standard install, where additional work is required, you will need to pay extra. 

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 do I get a home chargepoint?

1order-1

Order your EV at your preferred dealer. They may ask you a few questions to confirm you are suitable for a home chargepoint.

2answer

Our chargepoint installation partner will ask you to complete an online home survey to provide some details and photos of your home. This is so they can check what work needs to be done.

Artboard 13SquareAfter you've completed your online home survey, our installation partner will provide a quote for any non-standard installation costs.

Once you have provided the necessary information our installer will arrange a suitable date to install your chargepoint. Installation normally takes a few hours.

Non-standard installation

You are likely to need a non-standard installation because your parking space is a bit further from your home than usual.

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.

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.
