As more drivers in Warwick make the switch to electric vehicles (EVs), one of the first questions they ask is: “How much does it cost to install a home EV charger?” Having a dedicated home charging point is not only more convenient than relying on public infrastructure, but it’s often faster and cheaper in the long run.
In this guide, we’ll break down the costs involved, the factors that affect pricing, available government grants, and recommended local installers in and around Warwick.
What’s the Average Cost of Installing a Home EV Charger in Warwick?
The typical cost to install a home EV charger in Warwick ranges between £900 and £1,500. This includes the hardware (charging unit), labour, and VAT. Costs vary depending on the type of charger you choose, how complex the installation is, and any upgrades needed for your home’s electrical system.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Standard 7kW charger with basic installation: £899 – £1,099
- Smart charger with app control and scheduling: £1,000 – £1,250
- Complex installs (longer cable runs, fuse board upgrades): £1,300 – £1,500+
These prices typically include supply and installation of the charger, connection to your mains supply, cabling, and certification.
What Factors Affect the Final Price?
- Distance from your main fuse board to the charger location
- Whether your fuse board or earthing system needs upgrading
- The type of charger you choose (tethered vs untethered, smart vs basic)
- Wall mounting vs post mounting
- Wi-Fi or signal availability for smart features
- Whether you already have a surge protection device installed (now a regulation in many cases)
Is There a Government Grant for Home EV Chargers?
Yes, but it’s limited to certain applicants. The Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant (previously the OLEV/OZEV grant) is still available, offering up to £350 off the installation of a home charger. To qualify, you must:
- Own or lease an eligible electric vehicle
- Live in a flat or rental accommodation
- Have off-street parking
- Use an OZEV-approved installer
If you’re a homeowner in a detached or semi-detached property, you likely won’t qualify unless you meet the criteria above. However, landlords and housing associations can apply for separate support under the scheme.

Do You Need Planning Permission for a Home Charger in Warwick?
In most cases, no—installing a wall-mounted EV charger on a private residential driveway does not require planning permission.
