Why Install a Home EV Charger?

A dedicated charging point is faster, safer, and cheaper than public charging or using a 3-pin plug

7x Faster Charging

A 7kW home charger delivers a full charge overnight in 6-8 hours. A standard 3-pin plug takes over 24 hours for the same result.

💰

Lower Running Costs

Charging at home on a standard tariff costs around 7p per mile compared to 15-20p per mile at public rapid chargers. An off-peak tariff reduces this even further.

🛡

Safer Than a Plug Socket

Dedicated EV chargers have built-in safety features including earth fault protection and automatic cut-off, preventing overheating and fire risk.

🏠

Adds Property Value

With the 2035 petrol and diesel ban approaching, a home EV charger is an attractive feature for future buyers and can increase your property's value.

🕒

Convenience

Plug in when you get home, wake up to a full battery. No more queuing at public chargers or planning around charging stops.

🌿

Reduced Emissions

Switching to electric and charging at home significantly reduces your carbon footprint, especially when paired with a renewable energy tariff.

EV Charger Installation FAQ

Common questions about electric vehicle charger installation

How much does an EV charger installation cost in Manchester?

Home EV charger installation starts from £850 + VAT with Manchester Compliance. This includes the supply of a 7kW charger, a dedicated circuit from your consumer unit, all wiring, and full certification. Commercial installations are quoted individually based on the number of charging points and site requirements.

How long does it take to install an EV charger?

A standard home EV charger installation typically takes 3-4 hours. This includes running a dedicated circuit from your consumer unit, mounting the charger, and completing all testing and certification. More complex installations (longer cable runs or consumer unit upgrades) may take a full day.

Do I need planning permission for a home EV charger?

In most cases, no. Home EV charger installation falls under permitted development rights, so planning permission is not usually required. However, if your property is a listed building or in a conservation area, you may need to check with your local planning authority. Our team will advise you during the survey.

What qualifications do you need to install an EV charger?

EV charger installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician certified to BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations) and ideally trained to the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation. Manchester Compliance is NICEIC approved, and all our electricians hold the required qualifications.

Can I charge my EV from a normal 3-pin plug?

Technically yes, but it is not recommended for regular use. Charging from a standard 3-pin socket is very slow (around 8-10 hours for a partial charge) and can overheat the socket over time. A dedicated 7kW home charger is significantly faster and safer, fully charging most EVs overnight in 6-8 hours.
