FAQ
Short answers about planning, quotes and local businesses for EV charger installation in Edinburgh.
A home EV charger may be tethered or untethered, smart tariff compatible, solar-aware, RFID-enabled or load managed. Flats, rented homes and shared parking add permission and metering complexity.
Quotes should include charger, cable, protection devices, isolator, installation, testing, DNO notification, app setup and making good. Long cable runs or consumer unit upgrades can change the total.
A standard UK home EV charger installation often costs around GBP 800 to GBP 1,500. Long cable runs, consumer unit work, trenching or load management can push projects toward GBP 1,500 to GBP 2,500 or more.
Compare the installed price, not only the charger price. Grants may support renters, flats, landlords or specific cases, but eligibility changes and should be checked before booking.
The process runs from photos and electrical survey to quote, DNO notification if required, installation, testing, app setup, smart tariff connection and handover. Standard installs are often completed in a day.
If the supply needs upgrade or the cable route crosses shared land, timing can stretch. Resolve permissions before paying for equipment.
Tethered chargers are convenient, untethered chargers look cleaner. Smart features include scheduled charging, solar surplus, dynamic load balancing, RFID and tariff integration.
Choose features you will use. For company cars, reimbursement and reporting may matter; for solar homes, phase switching and inverter compatibility can matter more.
Before work starts, clear access to meter, consumer unit and parking bay. Flats, rented homes and leasehold properties may need written consent.
Plan installation before the vehicle arrives if possible. Network approvals, grants or landlord consent can take longer than the electrical work.
Common mistakes are using a normal socket long term, poor Wi-Fi, no load management, unclear grants and charger features that do not work with solar or tariffs. Unsafe DIY charging can overheat circuits.
Use funding, the customer guide and project checklists to compare the full electrical scope. Good Electricians provide test results and explain the safety devices.
