Home EV charger prices look simple until you get the quote. Here is what a 7kW home charger actually costs to supply and fit in 2026, what moves the price, and where a grant can still knock money off.
What it costs
A typical supply and fit for a standard 7kW home charger lands between £800 and £1,200. That splits into the charger unit itself, usually £350 to £700, and the installation labour, around £600 for a straightforward job of two to four hours.
What pushes the price up
Three things move the number. A long cable run from your consumer unit to the parking spot adds labour and materials. An older consumer unit that cannot take the load may need upgrading, which is a separate job from around £350. And your location matters, with London and major cities at the top of the range.
Grants and what to check
Government support still exists for some households and can cut up to £350 off an eligible install, with a separate scheme in Scotland. Eligibility is narrower than it used to be, so check whether you qualify rather than assuming the grant applies. Whoever you use must be competent and certify the work, since it is a notifiable electrical job. Ask for the certificate up front.
The sharp takeaway
Budget £800 to £1,200 for a standard install, get the charger and the labour itemised separately, and confirm whether a grant and a consumer unit upgrade apply before you book. A very low quote usually means one of those is missing.
