EV Charger Installation in Leicester

A home EV charger installation typically costs £800–£1,500 depending on the charger model, cable run length, and whether your consumer unit needs upgrading. Smart chargers with solar integration, scheduling, and energy monitoring are at the higher end but offer better long-term value.

Yes — and it is one of the best combinations for long-term savings. A solar panel system generates free electricity during the day, which can be directed to your EV charger. A typical solar system generates enough energy to drive 8,000–10,000 miles per year for free. We design solar + EV charger packages specifically for this purpose.

With a 7kW home charger (the most common type), most EVs charge from empty to full in 6–10 hours — perfect for overnight charging. A typical daily commute of 30 miles needs only 1–2 hours of charging. With a solar + battery system, you can charge during the day using free solar energy.

Sometimes. If your current consumer unit is an older model without RCD protection, or if the total electrical load exceeds your main fuse rating, an upgrade may be necessary. We assess this during the free survey and include the cost in our quote — no hidden extras.
