What kind of EV charger do you need?

The right charger depends on how you actually use your car, not just the specification sheet.

Your preferred Cambridge EV charger installer will talk this through with you, but here's a rough guide to what's available.

Different types of EV chargers and their benefits:

  • Home chargepoints (7kW) are what most people in Cambridge are after. They typically go on an outside wall or in a garage and add around 20-28 miles of range per hour depending on the vehicle - so by morning, most cars are fully charged. Most modern units connect to an app so you can set charging to run overnight when electricity is cheaper.

  • Workplace fast chargers (7-22kW) suit businesses where vehicles are parked for a few hours at a time - a single unit for a small car park, or a row of chargers for a larger fleet operation. Installers can handle both. 22kW units need a three-phase supply, which most commercial properties already have.

  • Rapid chargers (50kW DC) are a different category entirely. They can add a meaningful charge in 20-30 minutes, which makes them suitable for retail car parks, service depots, and anywhere drivers don't want to wait around. The hardware and electrical infrastructure required pushes costs up substantially.

  • Tethered or untethered? Most home and public-facing installations use tethered chargers, the cable is permanently attached, so there's nothing to remember to bring. Untethered units use a socket instead, which works fine if you always carry your own cable and prefer a cleaner look on the wall.

Post your job on MyBuilder and EV charger installers in Cambridge will get in touch to advise on what suits your property.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Cambridge?

For a standard home installation, 7kW charger, straightforward cable run, existing consumer unit with capacity to spare, most people pay somewhere between £800 and £1,200 all in. That includes the hardware, labour, and commissioning the smart charging software.

It gets more variable from there. If your fuse box needs upgrading, or the charger needs to go on the other side of the house from your consumer unit, costs go up.

Commercial installs start at around £2,000 for a single fast charger and can reach well into five figures for rapid charging setups or multi-bay car parks.

Rough ballpark figures to work from for your EV charger installation in Cambridge:

  • Standard 7kW home charger (supply and fit): £800 to £1,200
  • Workplace fast charger 7–22kW (supply and fit): £2,000 to £4,500
  • Rapid charger 50kW DC (supply and fit): £15,000 to £30,000
  • Consumer unit upgrade (where needed): £400 to £800 (sometimes more for complex jobs)

For a full breakdown of what drives costs up or down, our EV charger installation cost guide covers it in detail. If you're looking at a commercial project, the commercial EV charger installation cost guide is more relevant.

Grants that can reduce your installation cost

Before you get quotes, it's worth checking what grants you're eligible for. The government's EV chargepoint grant covers 75% of the purchase and installation cost, up to a maximum of £500 off a home installation. You apply through the OZEV portal yourself, and once approved, your OZEV-registered installer submits the claim after the work is done. But you need to apply before work starts, not after.

  • EV chargepoint grant covers 75% of the purchase and installation cost, up to £500 off a home chargepoint installation. Available to renters and flat owners with dedicated off-street parking who own an eligible EV (freehold homeowners with a driveway aren't eligible). Households with only on-street parking can apply for a separate grant of up to £500 for cross-pavement charging solutions.

  • Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is for UK businesses, charities, and public sector organisations. It covers 75% of the purchase and installation cost, up to £500 per socket (increased from £350 in April 2026), for up to 40 sockets across all sites. State-funded schools and education institutions can claim up to £2,000 per socket under a separate version of the same scheme.

  • *Residential Landlord Chargepoint Grant is for private landlords, social housing providers, and property management companies. Covers 75% of the purchase and installation cost, up to £500 per socket for up to 200 sockets across all properties.

All schemes require an OZEV-approved installer and an eligible chargepoint unit (a smart charger on the OZEV-approved products list). Your Cambridge EV charger installer can confirm eligibility and the chargepoint model, but you'll need to apply for the grant through the OZEV portal yourself before installation. All current schemes run until 31 March 2027.

Already applied before 1 April 2026? If your application was approved under the old £350 rate but your chargepoint hasn't been installed yet, you can re-apply for the new £500 rate. Your existing application will be cancelled when the new one is submitted.

Before you book an EV charger installation: is your property ready?

One thing that catches people out is finding out their Cambridge property needs electrical work before a charger can actually go in. It doesn't always mean a big job, but it's better to know upfront.

  • Your consumer unit (fuse box): An EV charger needs its own dedicated circuit. If your fuse box is already full or hasn't been updated in a while, an upgrade may be on the cards before installation can proceed.

  • Single-phase or three-phase supply: Most homes, including in Cambridge, run on single-phase, which supports chargers up to 7kW, which is fine for domestic use. Three-phase is standard in most commercial buildings and required if you want a 22kW charger. Your installer will check this during the site visit.

  • How far the charger is from your consumer unit: The longer the cable runs, the more material and labour is involved. If you have a choice of where to put the charger, closer to the fuse box is usually cheaper.

  • Signal at the install location: Smart chargers need a Wi-Fi or mobile signal to work properly. If your preferred spot has a weak connection, mention it - most installers have a workaround, whether that's a Wi-Fi extender or a SIM-enabled unit.

You don't need to have all this figured out before posting your job. The site visit is exactly when your Cambridge EV charger installer will assess all of it. But the more detail you can share upfront, the more accurate your initial quotes will be.

Find EV charger installers in Cambridge with MyBuilder

With MyBuilder, local Cambridge EV charger installers come to you rather than the other way round. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Post your job for free

Describe what you need, including the type of charger, property type, anything relevant about your setup, and we'll share it with available EV charger installers in Cambridge.

Step 2: Compare your options

Interested tradespeople based in and around Cambridge will get in touch through MyBuilder. You can check their profiles, browse photos of previous installs, read customer reviews, and ask questions before you decide to hire anyone.

Step 3: Hire with confidence

Once you've compared quotes and had a chance to speak with a few installers, you can hire through MyBuilder knowing the tradesperson has been through our registration checks.

All tradespeople on MyBuilder undergo checks at registration, including ID documents, company details, certifications for regulated jobs, and skill assessments.

What to ask before you hire an EV charger installer

A few questions worth raising with any installer before you commit. The answers will quickly tell you whether they know their stuff, and whether their quote actually covers everything you need.

Are you OZEV-approved?

This is non-negotiable if you're claiming a grant. For the installation work itself, what matters is that the electrician is registered with a competent person scheme such as NICEIC, NAPIT, or SELECT. Most EV charger installers in Cambridge will tell you upfront whether they're OZEV-approved, but always confirm if grant funding applies to your situation.

Will you do a site survey first?

A quote without a site survey is really just a rough estimate. The survey is when the installer checks your consumer unit capacity, measures cable runs, and spots anything that might complicate the job.

What EV charging brands do you work with?

Professional EV charger installers tend to have preferences based on what they've seen hold up over time. Ask them to explain the differences between what they're quoting rather than just handing you a spec sheet.

Is setting up the app and smart charging included?

Commissioning, which is connecting the charger to your Wi-Fi, downloading the app, and configuring your overnight charging schedule, needs to happen before the installer leaves.

Without it, you have a charger that works but none of the smart features you're likely paying extra for. Some quotes don't include it, so ask specifically before you agree to anything.

What's the warranty on my charger?

Ask what's covered on parts and labour, and what the process is if something goes wrong. A year on labour as standard is reasonable; some manufacturers offer longer on the hardware itself.

Will I receive an electrical installation certificate on completion?

Yes. Any electrician carrying out notifiable electrical work in the UK is required by law to issue an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) on completion. The certificate confirms the installation has been designed, constructed, and tested to the required standard.

If the electrician is registered with a competent person scheme such as NICEIC, NAPIT, or SELECT, they can self-certify the work and notify Building Control on your behalf. You should receive your certificate within 30 days of the work being completed.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Always ask to see proof before work starts. EV charger installation involves live electrical connections and work to the fabric of your property, if something is accidentally damaged during the job, you want to know you're covered.

A professional Cambridge EV charger installer should be able to provide evidence of their cover without hesitation. If they can't, that's reason enough to look elsewhere.

FAQs about EV charger installation in Cambridge

Do I need planning permission for an EV charger in Cambridge?

Not usually. For most homes, fitting a charger is permitted development. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, and certain commercial installations near a public highway - if any of those apply, check with your local planning authority first.

How long does EV charger installation take in Cambridge?

A typical home install takes between two and four hours. If a consumer unit upgrade is needed, or the cable run is longer than usual, it can stretch to a full day. Commercial multi-bay projects are usually spread across several days.

Can I get an EV charger installed in my flat in Cambridge?

It depends. If you have a dedicated parking space and your own electrical supply, it's often straightforward. If you're renting or in a leasehold flat, you'll need written permission from your landlord, freeholder, or management company before applying for the OZEV grant, not just before installation.

In a shared building you'll usually need the freeholder or management company's sign-off first, and a communal charging solution might make more practical sense. Post your job on MyBuilder today and local EV charger installers based in and around Cambridge can advise on your specific setup.

Does it have to be an OZEV-approved installer?

Yes, if you want to claim a grant. A general electrician registered with a competent person scheme such as NICEIC, NAPIT, or SELECT can physically wire a charger and certify the work, but only OZEV-approved installers can claim the government grant on your behalf.

If grant funding doesn't apply to your situation, a registered electrician without OZEV approval can still complete the installation legally and to standard.

How does overnight smart charging work?

Once your charger is connected to your home Wi-Fi, you set a schedule through the app, typically telling it to run between midnight and 7am when off-peak rates apply.

Most modern units do this automatically once you've set your preferred window. Your Cambridge EV charger installer will walk you through setup on the day.
