EV Charger Installation Cornwall

Most homes can take a 7kW charge point on a dedicated circuit. Some need work first, because an older property may have an original consumer unit, a shared earth or a supply that will not carry the extra load. We check all of that at survey, before you commit. Then we install, test and certificate the circuit.

Common questions

Before you call

How much does an EV charger installation cost in Cornwall?

The charger and a standard install are the predictable part. The variable is your existing setup, whether the consumer unit can take another circuit, how far the cable run is, and whether the earthing arrangement needs work. We check all three before quoting.

Do I need my consumer unit upgraded to fit an EV charger?

Often, yes. A charge point needs its own protected circuit, and older boards have no spare way or no RCD protection. We tell you at survey whether yours will take it.

How long does it take to install a home charge point?

Three to four hours for a straightforward install with a short cable run. Longer if the board needs changing or the cable has to cross the property.

Can you install EV chargers for a business car park?

Workplace installations start with a load assessment, because several chargers running at once is a different problem from one. We install, test and certificate the circuits.

My EV charger has stopped working, can it be repaired?

Usually, including units installed by someone else. Most faults are the supply side, the protective device or the unit itself, and testing tells us which within the first visit.

Do I need planning permission for an EV charger?

Not in most cases. A domestic charge point is normally permitted development, provided it is within the size limits and does not face directly onto a highway. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the exception, and we tell you at survey if yours is one.
